I thought along those lines and got the Silva(Brunton) compass that slides over the wristband of a watch. I didn't try one already on a wristband like the one you are looking at.
I eventually settled on the Suunto clipper and have it clipped to the little money pocket inside the right pocket of all my pants/jeans.
When needed it can be clipped to the watch band or sleeve of my shirt etc.
It is a good quality button sized compass.
It might be another idea worth looking at.

Actually, Bugs would say, "I KNEW I shoulda take that left twoin at Albuquerque."

That line always kills me.

Reminds me of family vacations in the 1970s, when we were all young kids, and dad would haul 20 pounds worth of maps from the glove compartment. Not one map would solve his problem, and he would never admit to being lost, but he'd "let" me refold them for him (badly) afterward.

I tried a wristband compass and found it too obtrusive.

Just out of interest, do you see the thermometer as survival equipment? If so, how?

Yes, because we often underestimate how cold it is and how quickly the temperature may be dropping.

I purchased the Helix with the idea that the thermometer and barometer would give me some rudimentary short-term weather forcasting tools. The problem is that I'm not sure I trust it beyond: "hmm, seems to be getting colder out here," which I really don't need a thermometer for anyway. One of these days I'm going to check them against some I know to be accurate. If they come up reasonably close then they could prove useful.

Obtrusive in what way?

I took my Casio Sea Pathfinder Watch to the closest Bureau of Meteorology 3 days after I got it. (South Australian Government Dept.)
I wasn't worried about the temp because I dont use it that much, but the Barometer was spot on with their measurements.
I hung around for a while for a chat and to let the watch settle for a while to make sure.
Now its the refference to adjust all my friends barometers.

It stuck out and got in the way.

i have been wearing my suunto watchband compass, just about everyday now for almost a year. i mtn. bike 3 days a week. the thing works great for giving you general direction. it might be me, but i always have to know where i am and where i am going..i got it at REI. best $10 i ever spent...mtnfolk mike
