Yeah, the one on his right wrist looks like a wrist compass.

This one, to be precise.

The other one looks like a GPS watch. Notice also the Garmin on his left shoulder.

Pretty sure it's a compass on one arm and a watch on the other. But even if it's two watches, one is none, two is one. :P

Well, I'll redact my statement to say its definitely a wrist compass on one and a GPS watch on the other.

Makes sense if you think about it. Denmark is dependent on imports for most of their equipment, if Colt Canada couldn't provide a gun with modern features, they'd probably lose their contract, especially after Norway adopted the HK416, which also has a monolithic rail. Colt Canada has to keep all the contracts they can, the Danes, Dutch, Canadians, all comparatively small buyers, and they don't sell the C7/8 on the civilian market. Every unit delivered counts, and there are a lot of other good AR platforms out there.

They had shipped a ton over for the ANA, but the ANA went with the M4 instead. So they sent them back and they were all destroyed. Silly Canada.
