Does not come with hose mount. The compass seems to work well enough. The action is slow and takes a while to settle on North. The Compass Only Comes With The Wrist Mount. Although the listing states that it comes with the hose mount…IT DOES NOT. The package also states “Promate wrist compass with hose mount, black” (see photo).

Also while it is on your wrist it is difficult to hold in a position to see through the window in the bezel to line up barrings, its just at a weird angle. Maybe my arms are too short or something, but it is hard to do…
