HOW TO USE A WATCH FOR A COMPASS?

Need a compass immediately? Don't have it with you right now? Don't worry... use your wristwatch!

Materials Required:
1. Analog Watch
2. A sunny day

Instructions
  • Stand outdoors. Take the watch in your palm and point the hour hand towards the sun. If it is before noon, travel clockwise around the watch face from the hour hand to the number 12. Imagine a line that goes from the centre  of the watch halfway between the hour hand and 12. The line is pointing South, the opposite is north.
  • After noon, travel counterclockwise from the hour hand to 12 and then divide the angle into half. The halfway point is south.
  • At noon, the 12 will point towards south.
Hope this helps ;)
