In your config.rb file:

output_style = :compressed

Thanks, somehow missed that page in the wiki – Mark Robinson Feb 26 '10 at 12:21
The link works, it just points you to [a different url](http://compass-style.org/help/tutorials/configuration-reference/) – Rob Wilkerson Aug 24 '11 at 11:36

Important thing to note: if Compass is already running while you're modifying your config.rb file, you have to restart Compass to execute the changes. – user110857 May 23 '13 at 14:35

Did you try with the full name of the argument in command line ?

compass watch --output-style=compressed
