There are some that connect to a wrist strap (slide on the computer strap for instance), others that have their own wrist strap and many that mount in a boot (these are the puck type). This boot can be part of a console or a boot with a strap.

Most compasses you can buy as either a module or a wrist mount. You should be able to find one just for the wrist. Let me know if I can help. You shouldn't have to buy them seperately.

You could try it on a retractor instead, personaly I don't like things on my wrist. If youhave to have a wrist mount buy it as such. Don't try to jury rig it.

I suggest you shop for one that you can rig with bungee cord rather than the std wrist strap. It will be a lot easier to donn and doff, and it will be more secure as 2 bungee cords must fail to loose it. Or, if you can wait, you should eventually find one with the std strap that some diver has lost.

I think you want a wrist compass, like this:
There are other "mounting systems" that you don't see all the time. One is a gauntlet, a neoprene sleeve with a velcro patch that aligns with a patch on our wetsuit. In the old days we'd mount (from wrist on up) a compass, depth guage and then watch). The one I use today is much smaller (made from the sleeve of an old wet suit) and just has my compass and Aqualand watch on it.
When I lived in the keys I put my compass and watch on opposite sides of the wrist of a left hand kevlar glove, sort of the same idea, you can remove the back (4 screws) and screw it back together over a thin glove.
There's also Tamas' excellent approach: Home » Member » Tamas » Gauge Pod
and the DSS bungie wrist mount:
Edited to address NorthernShrinkage below with a minimum waste of space: The Suunto sk7 (above) is, IMHO, the easiest compass to use. I prefer the sk5 (below) due to it's lower profile, but it is much touchier.

IMHO the Suunto sk7 as seen above is about the best compass on the market.
I recommend the Suunto SK7 shown above with the DSS bungee mount. I have that setup and it has worked well for me.
