Finally, your Chronomark watch actually does something in Starfield.
In vanilla Starfield, the Chronomark watch appears ONLY TWICE during the whole game (main quest intro)… and then it’s gone forever. This mod changes that.
The Chronomark watch is now your gateway to the compass HUD:
The compass no longer sits on your screen at all times.
Instead, it only appears when you check your watch.
After checking, the compass will remain visible for a customizable amount of time (adjustable in the in-game Gameplay Options menu).
Perfect for players seeking maximum Starfield immersion — after all, who idly stares at their watch every five seconds in real life?

FAQ:
Q1: Can you display the compass HUD directly on the watch model?
A1: No. This would require SFSE support, and SFSE mods cannot be published on Creation Club.
Q2: Can the watch use the wrist animation while wearing a spacesuit?
A2: Not reliably. I could edit specific spacesuits to prevent clipping with the watch model, but that would drastically reduce compatibility, since it would require similar edits for every other custom spacesuit mod.
Q3: Can you mod the animation so it plays faster/allow player to walk when playing/or anything that changes this animation?
A3: No. Creation Kit 2 for Starfield didn’t allow modders to eddit/create new animations yet. We just have to take the animation as is.
Q4: Can you instead of turning on/off the compass UI, make it display the alternative compass UI (the one that shows planet data, temp, Oxy, Grav) that only shows up in the scanner mode?
A4: No, that would need Papyrus native function support, which it didn’t. The game only has this specific Papyrus function to turn on/off the compass UI.
Q5: Is it possible to add it as a hotkey instead of a Fav slot?
A5: No. That will need SFSE implementation, I want my mod to be available for Creation Club as well (if only there’s a very cool badass feature that can only doen be SFSE), so it will remain using Fav slot now.
Q6: Can I have additional check frequency time settings, between 5 seconds and 5 minutes?
A6: No. The game option setting is strictly following a Min/Step/Max rules, and I set it to be 0/5/60. Any other numbers, 0.5 (30 seconds) for example, will break this rule, and the game option setting menu will look bugged.
Just inspection file:
This optional file lets you just check the watch, it will not hide/unhide the compass UI.
Download either the English or the Chinese version of the main file, then download this file, and let it overwrite the main file.
