Compass Mount Computer Falls Short

This product is a disappointment for anyone who enjoys camping and hiking in the great outdoors. Through trial and error, I found that the compass feature was inaccurate and unreliable, which made navigating challenging during long hikes. The only positive feature of the Suunto SK 8 is its sleek and modern design. Unfortunately, this product falls short in terms of functionality and reliability, making it a poor choice for anyone serious about outdoor sports and activities.

Pros
  • Highly accurate and easy to read compass for navigation underwater
Cons
  • May require some initial training to fully utilize all features and functions

Easy to install once you know how to fasten

Easy to install once you know how to fasten. After removing the screws you should open the case as the case itself will slide into the compass mount. This allows you to securely mount the compass.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Large Compass - Outdoor Accessory

The SK-8 quickly points north and maintains correct orientation as it moves. It also has more tilt resistance compared to the cheaper dive compasses I've used. One problem: On my first dive with it, the compass card was off-center and wouldn't rotate. My instructor said it's not uncommon for a compass to get hot after being in direct sunlight and then cool down. The solution was to reheat them, center them on the card, and then protect them from direct sunlight. After that everything worked…

Pros
  • Durable Finish
Cons
  • Damaged
