Why the Compass on the Left Arm?

[ucfdiver]

The wrist straps could be connected to the bottom of the screen, why would that be an issue? I'm talking about all the plastic surrounding the screen. Just Googling bottom timers, the boots seem to take up a huge % of the actual device. Though perhaps the size is necessary to house the actual mechanisms, and the amount of unnecessary plastic isn't that high. I'm not a bottom timer manufacturer, so I have no idea, but just a thought when looking at them.

Most bottom timers are made so that they can fit into a typical OW gauge console, or a wrist mounted strap. If they had something on the bottom, I assume they would be too big for the OW gauge console.

Trolls,

What if we use a bottom timer with a built in electronic compass??? Now no one can say we can't have the compass on the right arm.

Do scooters interfere with computer compasses?
