Military Lensatic Sighting Compass Waterproof For Outdoor Activities - GWHOLE Review

Have purchased two of these compasses for testing and am quite satisfied.My brother (Royal Rangers) and I (BSA) have instructed many in the use of compasses for Scouts, Orienteering and the Military. This compass has the devices to take one into Lensatic, Transit and back to basic Orienteering compasses.Suggestions for Scout Masters: Repaint your compass a bright color. That way when your boys drop this baby in the dirt they will be able to find it. Put a thicker bright colored lanyard on it…

To begin with let me say I was truly impressed with this compass. It is sturdy and if you happy to drop it while hiking or whatever else, it will withstand the shock of the fall and not affect its accuracy. My neighbor has an expensive compass that cost more than triple the amount I paid and guess what? Both of our compass points excalty the same direction. Also it comes in a military style case so you won't be scratching the viewing surface while you store your compass in your backpack or…

This is a great compass. The movement is damped perfectly and is accurate. I really like the magnifier sight hole for precision. Well made with quality feel.

The compass work as supposed to, but the bag where it came in, as soon I tried to open it the fabric ripped off and the clip button stayed clipped at the other side.

This is a great compass, much like the ones I learned to use in the military. It is very sturdy and comes with a carrying case that can attach to my belt. It was also nice that I was sent an email with the instructions that I could read, as the instructions included with the compass had very small print.

This is an OK Compass but it does stick internally a little bit when you're trying to align it for the proper coordinates I would say it's not a bad buy for the price but it's not perfect

I am by no means an expert on things like this, but I have no complaints. I just needed a compass for hiking through the woods while camping. I didn't get lost because it works exactly like it's supposed to.

Bought this for a science experiment but my 12-year-old son loves it so much it was a much bigger hit than I expected. It's accurate sturdy and really pretty cool.

Very nice, solid, well made compass. Was a bit surprised by how well made it is for this price. Very pleased with purchase, would recommend as a basic functional relatively low cost option.

Poorly made. Questionable accuracy. Sent it back.Review update :After I submitted my review on this item, the company contacted me immediately even though the purchase was made 5 months ago. They were genuinely concerned that I was not happy with the product and went through great lengths to make it right. This company has great customer service, something you don't see much anymore.The first model may have been just a bad one but I didn't want a replacement with the same model. I do a lot of…

durable compass lid is a little tight but it got looser with time viewer is clear and it is easy to tell direction Thanks for attention!

Got this as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. He really liked it. It seems like it's built well with a sturdy metal casing. He has yet to use it. Its going in his bug out bag, so hopefully when the apocalypse happens it will come in handy.

Probably my fault for not fully understanding what a "lensatic sighting compass" was before purchasing. I assumed a compass is a compass is a compass. But this one is as confusing as hell to me. I still have no idea how to work it even after reading a few guides on use.If you are looking for a regular old "What direction am I going in?" compass, this is not the product you are looking for. This is way more in-depth and advanced.It looks badass though! I just wish I could…

Below is my orginal review. I am leaving it so you can see whaty original issue was. This company has great customer service! Upon reading my review, the ownet reached out to me to see how they could rectify my dissatisfaction. She was super nice and eager to give me a refund. I negotiated a replacement because my son really loved the compass. We have had the compass about a week and could not be happier! It is a great replacement! My son is happy and once again using it every day. I will buy…

Tipping a LITTLE from one side to another made the compass change 5-20 degreesIf I hold the compass such that the dial is apparently as free as it can be, the level bubble is straddling the line of the circle in the 7 o'clock position (it should be dead center of the circle).When looking thru the view port, to see the degrees, you cannot see the level bubble, so you cannot be certain that its orientation has not changed.If I keep it pointed at a fixed point, and tip the compass a little to the…

Exactly what I wanted, Not electronic but precise. I have an older analog compass but wanted a more modern replacement.

This is a nice sighting compass and works well. It is heavy though, so you are getting a really durable compass, but it's not for ultra lightweight backpacking trips.

UPDATE: The seller contacted me and refunded me, after I explained it did not work. I am updating this to 3 stars, but for the customer service, not because of the product.OLD REVIEW:This did not work. The needle pointed anywhere but north! I a returning.Also, it is quite heavy.

I got this for my get-home bag in case of emergencies. It feels solid and is easy to read. Fits easily in the sturdy canvas case. The instructions that came with it were so technical (for me) that I discarded them. The seller, however, sent me a pdf after my product shipped to provide more novice-friendly instructions, so I'm very satisfied with this compass, especially at this price.

Didn't realize how heavy it was - weighs my sailing bag down. Other than than that seems accurate and great features. The compass may not have a light for night use.
