Great Little Compass

I've read some negative reviews about the accuracy of these compasses. In my experience, with two separate purchases, it's GREAT! Now if you hold them near your phone or anything metallic, they'll swing around everywhere. But when I put them all on the kitchen table, they all pointed exactly in the same and correct direction north. Now I don't think I would rely on them as a source for navigating the world, but I bought them for bug bags, hiking bags, and a pocket compass for quick referenceโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Amazing
Cons
  • I won't say anything

See pictures, general direction only, the bearing is unusable.

I wouldn't count on it, but it's not too bad, especially for the price. It's not as accurate as a good lenstatic ground navigation compass, but close enough to general north. I wouldn't use bearing on this thing because it's not accurate enough, nor did I expect it to be surprisingly accurate for the price. I would say that most compasses of this size and type are not very accurate. Overall worth the money for the amount they give you and the style they add. Although I probably won't need themโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • No instructions

Compass first came to me in the field

We're happy to support veterans (made in USA, I always get my money) but unfortunately this product didn't live up to my expectations. A big plus for electroshock wearers is that they fit my full size watch. I gave 3 to my buddies and kept one for myself. Maybe what I got had less glue holding the compass, but after my first visit to the field with my device I noticed it was coming out somewhere without realizing it had happened. Also, I noticed that the north is a bit different. Now I realizeโ€ฆ

  • Great for a small home

Buy a suitable compass or use the phone app

While these "compasses" look good, are reasonably well made and fit perfectly on my watch band, they are for show only - don't waste your money on them those "compasses". ". ." After I got them, I checked them with the compass app on my phone and the GPS navigator in my car - neither of them are pointing in the right direction. As you can see in the picture I pushed them apart so their magnetism didn't affect each other - and they all point in different directions! I'm no compass expert, but Iโ€ฆ

Electronics and Gadgets watch face moves slowly

These compasses are a good deal as I have previously bought a similar compass for about $5 for just one; here you get four. The compass mentioned had a bubble that was constantly expanding and preventing the dial from rotating. These compasses appear to have no bubbles at all - a good sign. The reason I only give them three stars is that on all compasses the magnetization of the dial is quite weak, causing it to stick if not perfectly aligned or tapped. And when the dial rotates, it does soโ€ฆ

Unreliable Good for sports and outdoor accessories

I've been using these compasses for over 1 month. I compared these compasses with my GPS compass, my Brunton Brunton Classic compass (9020G) and two Suunto SUUNTO M-9 mechanical compass compass watches. Mounted compasses are for general guidance only and not for precise positioning. If they work reliably I would hope to replace my Suunto Clipper if the Suunto Clipper L Micro Compass (luminous bezel) fails as they are now >$20 each when I bought them for $6 10 years ago bought dollars. on aโ€ฆ

but I read some bad reviews and started looking for other options

I wanted to spend $25 for the Suunto version but read some bad reviews and started looking for other options. I see one with decent reviews and it's a veteran owned business so I decided to buy it. I get 4 instead of 1 for about a quarter of the price. Shipping was pretty quick and I wear it on my G-Shock strap. I work in construction (repeat all trades) and when I paint or do drywall I place a cut piece of the top of the sock over the clock to keep it clean otherwise this thing (along with myโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Boring packaging

OK. Find out what you need first before you buy. Most of the negative reviews I've seen are either just a bad compass or people like "I want something for free". The compasses I received all worked but were not out of the box. Also, they are NOT meant to be navigated. There are a few things to do when you first get them. When you take them out of the packaging, put them in a warm and flat place for a while. At first they were read randomly. In the evening I put them on the dining table. Thisโ€ฆ

  • While satisfied
