>>866711> does anyone recommend a specific brand from experience?The one in the pic is a Suunto A-10 (15€), they are available in inch or metric and southern or northern hemisphere (you need northern). It has a declination-correction ring that you should use, the declination in the US is up to 20°! This one has no fluid, so no bubble possible. I can confirm that it works well. However, i carry it only as a backup, i use my smartphones GPS and Osmand for navigation mostly.
As for your backpack, looks fine to me, small obviously, but enough for one or two nights out. I'd maybe remove the bladder and use the meshpockets for PET-bottles. They don't break.
Larger backpacks have a frame that redistributes the load from your shoulders to your hips, but yours will do if you try to keep weight in mind. Obviously you have to rig stuff to the outside.
Pic related, my gear for a few days inna Alps.
