How many recall and/or attached the small (miniature) SCUBA pro thermometer or the compass to their watchbands?
Recall the "Compact thermometer?" introduced in 1964, part number 72220 (later part number 520) price $5.00.

The "Compact compass?" Introduced in 1968 part number 510, price $5.00.
These two items were possibly the best selling dive accessories of all times. Totally impracticable but all self respecting serious divers had them attached to their watches, now they have disappeared as fast as they arrived.

Hahahahaha I can totally relate to this Sam. I too had a compass on my watch strap back in the day(early 70's), it was totally useless but looked so cool to show off to others. Everyone had to have one. hahaha
