Has anybody tried a back-of-the hand mount, like some skidivers use for their altimeter?
I got an old analog depth gauge I want to start carrying, but my wrist is already full enough, especially when wearing 'gauntlet' gloves, so I'm thinking about using a little bungie to rig it on the back of my hand.
The gauge was in an old console I bought. When I took it out I found it is has projections for watch strap pins. I'm thinking of running a small bungie or surgical tubing through the pins such that it forms two loops, one for my wrist and the other for one or two middle fingers.
Seems simple enough, but I figured someone, somewhere, had already done this, and could give me suggestions.
The only downside I see is it would be inconvenient if you wanted to take your gloves off, but it's not often I want to do that. Oh, and it could get in the way if you were in the habit of sticking your hands in holes, but, again, I don't tend to do that.
