Extremely disappointed. Unused product

Terrible. The golden part is ok. The paper below is fine. No directional arrow attached or packaged. It looks like an unfinished product. There is a round plastic insert that has no NSEW or grades around it. Return not possible due to "policies".

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • So far so good

Works well but weak

Works well. I just got it and haven't been able to use it often, but it's a compass, not sophisticated technology. Although the metal case is thin. Super thin and it seems like if you take the time to close it, you can bend it and can't close it again without straightening it with pliers or something. I don't think you should expect more for the price.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Minor issues

Disappointing best compass

Despite the reviews I decided to give it a try as it wasn't too much money. Well I should have heeded the warning in the review. It's not exactly as advertised because it doesn't glow in the dark and looks pretty cheap. Dissatisfied and disappointed. I'm too nervous to take this campsite as I don't feel I can rely on it when I go camping. Buy at your own risk and don't have high expectations.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Security

Poor even for its price

It's cheap and you can't expect much for the price. But even for that price, it's terrible. I got it as a gift for a child, but it's not a gift at all. It came in a cheap cardboard box that was already torn. The compass was covered in dust and had stains on its yellow body. The interior was cheap too. Even for $6 it was bad. You can buy the best toys at Dollar Store. And then I wanted to return it because it says non-refundable even though the part sold says 'acceptable'.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Disappears

The lanyard ring broke within minutes of taking it out of the box.

The compass itself works perfectly. The whole device is very similar to a pocket watch, including a ring for a bracelet or chain. However, a few seconds after opening the compass cover and adjusting all moving parts, the ring broke. When I tried to initiate a return for the (now broken) item I was told it was non-refundable. I spoke to Revane's Chat who gave me a credit equal to the value of the compass and told me not to return it. I would not recommend spending money on this part when it…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • No instructions

waste of money! That does not work!

waste of money! I was expecting cheap quality, it's less than $10 what you expected. However, I expected it to work properly. It doesn't read right. I don't usually write negative reviews because I'm not going to ruin anyone's business over a lemon. I usually just switch. Problem solved. However, this is a "non-returnable" item. How not to return a defective product?! I thought I would warn others not to buy. My photo shows that my car is pointing east and the compass is pointing northeast…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Not even suitable for children or costume accessories.

Bought only for the simplest points of the compass. It went wrong. The arrow never seemed to point a steady northward direction. According to this point, north is any direction where the needle stops after turning. When I bought this I knew it wasn't going to be the ultimate compass, but that was partly my intention. The brass case (feels very similar to aluminum) was sticking right out of the box, I had to pry it open with a knife, the loop was already bent, the ring was only attached on one…

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • old

Good news that's great for the average man.

Much better than I expected. After reading some of the other reviews I thought it would be a cheap piece of crap but it isn't. Well, it's not a top-end compass, and I wouldn't bet my life on it in the middle of winter when you can't see anything, but for what it is it's fine. It will tell you where north is with some accuracy and pull you out of the woods if necessary. In terms of looks it's much better than I expected, it's a good deal if you don't expect a professional compass, but for a very

I bought this compass after reading the comments from.

I purchased this compass after reading other people's comments and was pleased to see that many of them gave positive feedback on the quality of the product. However, when it arrived I was dismayed to see that the compass did not close completely and that there were stains on the plastic inside the compass. I went to return it and even though it says my return window is January 31st I can't return it and it says my window is already closed even though it's only December 11th. I received the…

Pros
  • Fits great for me
Cons
  • Negative gift
