Were the Sherwoods the top sighting type with just a narrow arrow on a pivot? If so even in non diving compass's, that type are generally bad. If there the disk type with a view window in one side, then I have no option but to agree with your view. FWIW all three of my reg sets are older, with the newest compass being at least 4 to 5 years old.
I may be mis-informed, but I believe that Sherwood's compass's are actually mfg'd by Suunto.

I used a Genesis for a while there an still have it as a backup but I'm a big fan of my Suunto SK-7.

I like the 27 degree tilt vs around 7 degrees with the Genesis and I also find it much easier to read.

A lot of people have complained that they take a long time to settle down for a reading but side by side it seems about as fast as the Genesis compass.

I'm not sure of the brand on mone. I think they're the more or less "generic" ones that fit in most consoles.
I've been looking at the specs on the SK-7 and like what I see. Will definitely consider one fi/when I need another compass.

Was out there Tuesday and vis was horrible!

Never seen crap like that at 85' there. No more than two feet. Kind of cool though. Felt like diving in Kirkfield after an open water class.

While this is derailing the original post, do a search in the equipment section, you'll find the SK7 can't be beat is is the choice of many divers. This is the 3rd compass I've used, but by far the best.

Dive Inn has the best price I've seen as well....

There are cheaper places to buy them in Canada than that.
