You get what you pay for.

You cannot adjust the declination, which is very important if you want to accurately reach your target. This is a very simple compass. And as the description says - for men and children. Ladies - get a different compass that is gender neutral and age appropriate. giggle

Pros
  • Wow
Cons
  • Ok

Not balanced on center spindle.

I can't balance the center spindle. It ends on the magnetic side of the needle. I wanted to give this to my grandson and show him how to use a compass. Instead, I explained to him that buying nameless, cheap stuff wasn't worth the money I was saving. We ordered a Suunto compass and I will show it how a good product should work.

Pros
  • Decent productivity
Cons
  • Working speed

Simple and useful in sports and outdoor accessories

A 10 year old girl who lives in our house is exploring the great outdoors and I enjoy the experience. Along with binoculars, backpack and first aid, she carries this compass with her and takes the opportunity to study it and point us in the right direction whenever possible. The compass is light, inexpensive, and easy to read, and I would buy it again if the one we received breaks for any reason (probably from overuse).

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Expandable

Simple affordable compass

A while ago I cut the pay tv cable. Sometimes an inexpensive compass comes in handy when pointing over the aerial antenna (OTA). The first compass I ordered from another seller didn't even have a north pointer. However, this compass is as good as any scouting compass I had as a kid. It's lightweight and easy to see through the base when placed on the map. The dial rotates easily. The base has side and top measurements to determine spacing. This is a good compass for beginners or just for home…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Expensive

My digital compass broke and this compass saved my day.

I have been using the digital compass on my watch for many years. Apparently too many years... My digital compass broke while we needed legal help with a "navigation consultation". We're not lost, but that agonizing step before I realize you're lost... I pulled out this compass gem and we found our waypoint while canoeing through 1.1 million acres of wilderness. .. It is robust, simple, reliable and an excellent investment. I'm SO HAPPY I bought this. No regret! Thank you for reading. I hope…

  • One Year Trial

The perfect compass for the boy scouts

This is the perfect compass for the boy scouts. Yes, you can set the declination offset from magnetic north. I'm not sure what the other reviews said. I bought two of these from a third party here at Revain, TurnOnSport. Both compasses are inexpensive because the rotating compass ring simply snaps onto plastic tabs. But what do you expect for 8€? It's perfect for my two scouts who will probably lose them again (reason for this purchase). But it's the perfect compass for basic orientation. It is

Absolutely useless!

This piece of junk is functionally incapable of pointing due north. And what is the main purpose of a compass? POINT DIRECT NORTH! The trunnion bearing is terribly loose, and the magnet itself is so unbalanced that the compass has to be held at a 20-degree angle to make it oscillate. Another piece of shit endorsed by Revain. There were over 250 different compasses offered for sale, but only about 25 were actually sold as the other 225 were renamed duplicates. Revain clearly cared least about…

  • Dope 🔥

FULL OF CHARACTER, DO NOT BUY!

I bought this compass to test the quality of a cheap compass so I can teach it to orient. The results were TERRIBLE! The compass was very fickle in my hands and never returned to the same place when I turned both inside and outside my home. So I put it to the test. look at my photos I'm not a geomagnetist, but my house, only 12 inches apart, wouldn't have a 10 degree spread! The compass is very inaccurate and will surely mislead many people. I was hoping to find a cheap alternative to teach 10…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Repair

The perfect compass for beginners in scouting

This is an excellent compass for scouting, orienteering and hiking. Above average accuracy (tested with my Garmin GPS and military compass). Well Done; All straight edges are smooth (no nicks or dents), the pointer moves smoothly, and the bezel rotates smoothly (no obvious clicks). to the central arrow) are phosphorescent - I shined a flashlight on the compass and in a darkened room the points are very bright; All five navigation points are clearly visible in the dark. A red ribbon is attached…

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive
