Not quite accurate but close enough

Bought for a nature walk for grades 2-4. They're not quite accurate, but they're close enough that students really get excited about them. They like to constantly check our direction on walks. They're a little smaller than I'd like, but for a small hand, they work.

Pros
  • Pretty package
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Would I really recommend, yes, and the delivery was very fast

I bought this product and was dying to try it due to the many negative reviews about cheap compasses. First, the compass needs to be outside to work properly, second, it needs to be level so it can hover evenly. After testing each of them, I found that all 5 work flawlessly and accurately. I recommend oh and the delivery was very fast.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Nothing like this

not terrible best in compass

These are cheap compasses with small knobs that cost around $1.20 each. I didn't expect much for the price. After a little wobble, all 5 pointed in roughly the same direction and matched my Suunto M3-Global. I bought these primarily to attach to a mini keychain survival kit I put together for day trips (this 5 piece set was cheaper than similar ones individually). I zip one up on my backpack, just in case. They won't guide you, but they will point you in the right general direction.

Pros
  • best in niche
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Worth buying

I bought these to zip on my jacket and use as a treat for my kids when they have worked hard for me around the house and at school. My kids really wanted one of these and they loved it. These things are accurate enough and I haven't had any problems with stripped strings so far. For the price you can't go wrong. Very handy and it helped my kids to think about direction and understand where they are in relation to other places they are familiar with. It was great fun to have her around.

Pros
  • Hard wearing surface
Cons
  • Tradable

Brand New - Complete Scrap

These compasses are Brand New - Complete Scrap - Don't waste your money. I am a Boy Scout leader and bought three medals (15) to give out to crew members for sailing the Bahamas this summer. I laid out the compasses and let them settle, but after a few days I was still getting almost random course readings. North readings differ by up to 45 degrees in both directions (east and west). Touching a compass disc or table may give you the correct reading (if you already know which way north is), butโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • No

Superb little compass with zip or keychain!

First I ordered 2 packs (10 pieces) of these things - enough to close all my outdoor coats and jackets. When they arrived I laid them all out on my desk looking for outliers but there weren't any. They all seemed consistent and accurate enough that I immediately put them on all my zips and ordered 2 more packs (10) for camera bags etc. They will certainly not replace Suunto, Silva or other high quality compasses, but they are still useful and offer a rudimentary orientation, especially in theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • nice little thing
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Good for the price, 2 of me had a little problem.

These are small and cheap compasses so don't expect them to be accurate. However, they all worked well enough to give you a general idea of direction, and work very well for my intended purpose: hanging them on the zipper of a child's coat to help them with outdoor activities like hiking, direction to learn. I would give them 4 stars for value for money but I got a pair with a stubborn movement. On these two the arrow does not swing freely. However, they work quite well if you tap them or giveโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • I won't say anything
