One compass consideration that I wasn't expecting:
I dive mostly in cold water. Drysuit and multiple layers underneath makes bending your arm to align the compass lubber line an issue for me if I wear it on my wrist. I also have a wrist slate that also takes up the spot on my left wrist every now and then.
I have a Perdix AI on my right wrist but dislike hitting buttons (lubber line is still an issue) with thick gloves on to operate the compass (unless I am acknowledging an alert) so opted for the non DIR Suunto Sk8 on a retractor.
It seems to me that you could remark your own lubber line to match your arm angle but didn't bother putting much thought into that.
Just my two cents as a newer diver.
Note for clarity: my drysuit has cuff rings for wrist seal quick replacement. This puts all wrist options a little further up onto what is technically my forearm. I wear my dive computer directly on top of my right wrist cuff ring.
