Using a Watch as a Compass
- chadupton 3y agoGreat read! I originally learned about this in the mid 90's in a manual for this drab brown and green Timex Field Watch that I bought. I wrote about this on my blog awhile back too: https://brokensecrets.com/2010/04/22/use-your-watch-as-a-compass/ https://brokensecrets.com/2010/04/22/use-your-watch-as-a-com...
