hi carlos dfc
youre right about knowing where polaris is, you always know which direction north is. i was once told you can use your watch as a compass in the daytime as long as you can see the sun. at 1.00 the sun is due south and if you use the hour hand point it in the direction of the sun that will give you south, draw an imaginary line to seven which will be your north,four west and ten east. as long as your watch keeps good time you should have a reasonably accurate emergency compass. of course itll never replace the good old silva and good map readeing skills
