There is probably an obvious answer to this question, but I have to ask just to make sure. I have both a wrist mounted computer and a wrist mounted compass. If I put them next to eachother, will the magnatism of the compass mess with my computer? How about if I store them together? I have a perfect little Pelican case that I can put them in, but I don't want to mess them up of course.

Thanks!
 
I had my compass mounted with my computer for several years. The compass didn't affect the computer in any way.

If you'll notice, may of the air intergrated/console type computers come with intergral compasses.
 
Good point, I didn't even think about the consoles. They have the devices much closer together than I would have on wrist.
