Compass Location?

Read the threads on computer location, but wondering where most prefer to locate their compass.

I bought this new gadget from suunto that puts my compass on a retractor. The coolest thing since sliced bread, well almost.
It keeps the compass close and out of harms way, the retractor cable is coated stainless steel. I've used it for around 50 dives so far without any problems.

I keep it on a retractor clipped to my right side, held from dangling by the Knighthawks right Velcro-strap-thingie. Its easy to locate, close to the face, reachable by both hands, and it does not dangle.

I keep my compass on my left wrist. Didn't like it on either a retractor or dangling from a D ring. ZG

A compass hanging on a string, it doesnt seem all that accurate of method to navigate. Do a few long distance treks and let me know haw well it works.

I'm one of those divers that likes everthing with data on it in one place, my console. Don't wanna be looking at my wrist, my console and dangling devices.:shades:

on the left wrist with my dive computer on the right wrist. Everything is right there with the arms crossed in front. FWIW, I actually changed from the AI console on a retractor to the wrist position and like it MUCH better.

Definitely left wrist, depth gauge/computer on right. Then in effect you have a truly functional "console" right in front of you. 1/2 a second peek down and wallah, all the info you need is right there. No need to get out of trim, take your eyes off anything and then look at a clumsy console.

I bought my suunto sk7 on a retractor. Lately I've been wondering if I would like it better with a wrist band.

left wrist, no need for a clumsy bulky console or gadgets like retractors
