Other: Anyone tried this compass?

Hello all,

I ran across this compass and I like the no-frills look of it. Being that I paddle offshore a lot I think it would be nice to have on the deck. Just wondering if anyone has tried it out yet. I'm not yet sure I'm sold on sticking it to the deck but at least it's one less thing to bungee down. I also thought I'd share this with folks because I see it as an opportunity for someone to make their own wood ring for it or even a wood hood covering the front of it. It opens up creative opportunities for sure!

By the way, the link is to the site that I first saw it on, so I'm not advertising here, just posting the site where I saw it first.
