I wonder why they make the detents? Could it be that they think it make the bezel less likely to be accidently moved? I think I'd rather have no detents.
I is probably the cheapest or smallest way they thought of to provide some resistance to stop the bezel from being moved, and also its probably the way they stop the bezel from comming off.
I use one of my Recta or Silva(Brunton) compasses with maps or when bush walking. I use the Suunto Clipper as my backup compass and my EDC compass so the bezel isnt an issue for me.
