Started trying to figure out if I could get a watch that is also a compass. Started looking on different shopping sites and did find a lot of options but I noticed a weird pattern, is that they were all explicitly branded as MANLY RUGGED OUTDOOR MILITARY WATCH FOR MEN. Additionally they *tended* to follow designs which are bulky and greebly to no obvious end other than to "look rugged". Are there not women who live in cities and sometimes get confused about which way is north
