Anybody own this watch: Seiko Divers with compass?

FWIW, a lot of so-called diver watches have the points of the compass on the bezel. It seems like a dumb idea and just confuses a lot of desk divers. 99 percent of these "dive watches" are not really useful to the frequent and serious diver because they are either too hard to read or simply duplicate what is on the computer face anyway.
 
I have the black face on a bracelet version. The instructions tell you how to operate the compass...it works...not perfectly accurate, but it does work. I personally have no use for it, and you can only use it during the day since it require pointing the hour hand at the sun. It is an excellent quality watch that looks very nice...I enjoy wearing mine a lot.
