I wear my two computers and dive watch on my left arm. On my right arm goes my compass. A magnetic compass is not "old schiool" it just is. I do not understand how it would be old? Mine is brand new, well, a couple of years now.
My computers do not have a compass, I can agree that is a nice reference feature for casual diving. But if I need to actually navigate with any precision, such as that might be, please give me a magnetic compass. I use bungee on mine rather than a strap.
My magnetic compass does not need a battery, nor does it need a backlight, nor does it ever need recharging nor do I need to toggle through menus or push buttons to access the feature, it just is what it is like Popeye is who he is. Minimalism.
