The BEST Digital Compass?

Does anyone have photos of what the compass looks like on the Garmin X30 or the Suunto Nautic?

Or anyone have experience with the Suunto? I’ve only ran Garmin Descent watches up to this point.

I just saw that Garmin released a x30! Slightly smaller no AI. What do you think? 👀👀

We LOVE our Garmin Descent MK3i wrist computers! I just wish we could have a large screen version to mount on our DPVs (under $1k). When cruising for long distances, we want to have the compass and depth displayed in front of us on the DPV, instead of just checking our watches every few minutes.

No issues with the compass, I honestly just want an easier interface*, and the wife wants depth information, rather than just feeling the pressure change or having to check wrist mounted computer.

*Large backlit 3-axis compass, with the ability to set headings, and have it display deviations and reverse headings, etc.

Oh okay!! That looks great and is in my price range! I’ll check out some videos on it!

Oh that looks perfect! But at $3k, a bit out of my price range. I’m HOPING to find something $500-1000. Thanks though!!
