Moving computer and compass to wrists?

[skidiver]

I'm not DIR or GUE, but I'm contemplating moving my Oceanic Veo 180 computer and my compass from the console to my wrists. How easy is this to do? What do I need, and how do I do it? My budget is limited, so DIY and inexpensive would be good.

Here's the computer:

It's in a console with the SPG and compass.

They should come right out, and fit into little wrist boots you can buy fairly inexpensively. ST has some for the computer. The hockey-puck style are all pretty much the same size.

I've taken my Veo180 NavCon apart and put it back together at least 4 times. Very easy to do. And, yes, the pucks will fit in wrist boots.

Moving them to your wrists is great. Easier to see and use. One you get those out of your console, take the spg out too. Then put a boltsnap on it and clip it off so it won't dangle.

I need to find some longer arms so I can see them better on my wrist

Are you stoned right now? I'm trying to make sense of your post, but I just don't get the humor.

and you'll be much happier as well... although it adds a step to suiting up, for me, it's much easier / more comfortable to look at my wrist versus grabbing for the spg to see depth and my favorite feature of the dive computer- ascent rate...

Yep. I find it easiest to put my BC on first, since the wrist boots want to hang up in the shoulder straps if you put them on first.

Good move, I think you will be happy w/ the new setup.

Edit: How the heck did this post wind up here? this was a response to an entirely different thread. WEIRD.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. Very helpful!

One thing I forgot to mention is that I'd prefer a bungie over strap/buckle. Does anyone know if the one from ST can be converted to accept a bungie?
