Must be extended when used with retractor

Compass accuracy is affected by spiral retractor. When the compass is extended, N changes. Accurate when it's extended or all the way from the retractor, but I don't like being inaccurate when it's not.

Pros
  • Sports and Outdoors
Cons
  • Low

10 dives and no errors

This was a replacement for my wrist compass which was a replacement for my SPG mounted compass. I tend to carry a lot of extra stuff that I don't really need. This gives me more freedom/flexibility to view them when not in use and retrieve them when needed.

Pros
  • Compasses
Cons
  • Expensive

Easy to read when tilted at a large angle.

Used this compass on over 30 dives on Bonaire recently. Great for casual navigation. The reading window on the side proved to be easy to read while sailing. Works freely at sufficiently large inclination angles. Comes with several different clamp options. I just attached it to the metal D ring on my BCD. The retractable strap keeps the device securely in the clip when released.

Pros
  • Electronics and Gadgets
Cons
  • Not the best
