The Tern TX can display a graphical compass (two versions) on the same screen as the other information.
See section 8.1 of the manual.
Time for new computer, displaying compass, depth, and air are important

I'm not going to push you to Shearwater, but it's worth pointing out that
> The NERD 2, Petrel 2, Petrel 3, Perdix, Perdix AI, Perdix 2, and Peregrine share a common firmware base
from here: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0...x2-Release-Notes-v98-English.pdf?v=1722287434
I would assume the Peregrine TX is also included in that, and it's just a firmware from before it existed. Because having the Peregrine and Peregrine TX on different firmware bases would just be silly.
That means that if you like the Petrel 3 in terms of showing air + compass, then any of their devices with AI (which for some reason is connected to the existence of the compass) would be just as good for you.

Why does that stop you from computer on one wrist and compass on the other? If you’re concerned about magnetic interference from the camera , swap wrists or swap camera hands.

If I am using a conventional compass instead of one on my computer:
I will wear a compass on the same side as a computer, with the compass on the back of my hand, and computer on my forearm. I find it easier to use that way... The ability to move your wrist to align the site window/lubber line is very easy that way for me.
YMMV.

Right, I think this is my answer except I prefer it all on the left side. I'm thinking the Peregrine TX is the way to go for me.
I have ScubaPro G2, check pp 31-34 https://johnsonoutdoors.widen.net/content/1f5s8ecep6/pdf/SP_G2TEK_manual_EN.pdf
One of a few (if any) digital compasses you don't have to worry about tilt.

I thought *most* digital compasses were tilt compensated. Certainly the Shearwater line is.
