Thought as much but never had any experience with 24h watches, so no comment on this from my side :)
No comment? So no admission what you said made no sense and the truth is the opposite?
No, no comment in the sense of I have no experience with 24h watches so I cannot comment on them regarding this topic. If others have experience they might add their share, which they did.
With a 24h watch, you line up the hour hand with the sun. Because the sun does a full circle in 24h and the hour hand does the same, lining them up will always make 24 point north (on the northern hemisphere).
A compass is still the better option, because the magnetic field also points north in the southern hemisphere and doesn't have to be recalibrated when you move too far east or west.
