GWHOLE Compass Waterproof Hiking Military Navigation Compass with Pouch Lanyard, English User Guide Included

Good quality. Nice size. has great features. reminds me of my old compass

I probably went a little over the top buying this item. I'm learning to fly (Aeroplanes), and my instructor suggested I buy a compass, and gave me a few ideas on how to get my head around directions. This was actually perfect for that job, but I could have probably bought a one use item cheaper. That said, the price wasn't too bad, and it may come in handy for other uses in future. For anybody intending to use this for outdoor pursuits, I think this would be a good buy. I have done a few tests for accuracy, and it seems to be spot on, as far as I can tell. Add to that the very robust case that it comes with, I imagine it would be very durable.

Outstanding for the price. My little boy aspired to ownership of a piece of over-priced junk, masquerading as a compass, which he saw whilst on hol in the Azores last week. I ordered this to arrive by our return. It did. He is delighted. Until he loses it, he will have an excellent, very sturdy, good-quality sighting compass which looks like it will last a lifetime. Only thing to be aware of is that it is solid and therefore somewhat heavier than a plastic equivalent. It has a lanyard and may prove effective for breaking windows or his brother when he attempts to use it as a bolas.

Very heavy and good quality . Now concentrate : many other compasses have a clear and transparent face , so if you put it on a map , you can see the map through the compass .So far so good . But there is a problem , because reading the compasses' face with all those small numbers is difficult when you have the compass in your hand , not placed on ( map ) paper . The same problem exists with rulers . You can see everything if the ( transparent ) ruler is placed on paper . The problem arises when the ruler is in your hand measuring some object . Now you can't see the numbers easily . This compass is different : the numbers are read against a white solid fixed disc , now reading the face is easy because it is not transparent . Be careful what you buy ! Sometimes the transparent ones are good , and sometimes they are not , but I needed this one , so I bought it . Price is right too . Excellent product !

I bought this for my son's DofE training. He said it was excellent, the quality is very good and sturdy, and it has all a compass needs for day and night navigation. His friends were very impressed and called it Gucci. Rumours were that such a compass would set you back at least £60. I think I got a bargain. ;-)

Nice piece of equipment but I’m not entirely happy that the underside is made of plastic. I would have been happier with a metal under plate. Other than that, it’s a beautiful piece of equipment. Accurate too and trembly easy to use.

Although this was relatively cheap, I was still disappointed with this product. The immediate bug bare was that the cross hairs on the sight line glass was positioned off set which tells you that it was assembled during manufacturing with little care or pride. The next agrevating thing is the bezel, it is loose and a poor quality fit, giving you the feeling that it is going to be fragile. The looseness means that any bearing that you take is likely to change and be altered due to the bezel moving during normal handling of the compass. Another annoying thing is that it will not sit flat on a table due to the landyard toggle sitting proud when folded and won't open and lift up enough to get out of the way causing the compas to wobble when laid on a flat surface. I managed to unscrew the sight glass and realtime it into its correct position. The aluminium casing seems robust but the back plate is plastic which detracts from the benefit of the rest of it being aluminium. The compass needle section seems good quality and was accurate when repeatedly compared to a known. For a short trip through a small woodland this will be fine, but for a long trip in a wilderness to rely on this would be negligent.

Being more familiar with the US military lensatic compass, I wasn't sure what to think of this compass at first. The moveable plastic bezel ring is a bit dodgy, but not so much that it interferes with the compass's operation. The overall quality is good, and the compass definitely points North! I took it out for a field trial and after some experimentation found that it worked well for what I needed it. I think I still prefer the US lensatic compass, all in all, but this compass is very adequate.
