I wish it at least came in packaging that could protect it a little in my pocket or bag, since it is definitely not sturdily built. The hinge should not be expected to handle a lot of use, and the little clip-on whistle that also attaches the cord to the compass snapped the first time I used it.Normally, I'd give something far fewer stars, with problems like those, but it is shockingly difficult to find an accurate compass in this price range.I recommend making a case or pouch that can be attached to a cord.

Once I actually learned to use a compass correctly I discovered none of my compasses were any good. I heard good reviews on these and now I will give one too. Learn about declination and teach yourself to walk a straight line to actually get to a specific destination. This little beauty will do the job. Nice little unit.

For the money, or for more money, you can't beat this one. It's accurate, light, and it floats. It's basic, but easy to use. I have a compass collection and this is going to be one that I use constantly.

Here’s the thing, I love the size, but the dial seems cheap which is not a huge deal and I can accept that because I think it will work fine. The lid is plastic and it really does not have a hinge it is bendable plastic I cannot see it lasting for more than 2-5 years at the absolute most. I sent it back and got the mc2 GLOBAL for 15 dollars more it was a no brainer. I will never be in South Africa but I have a10 year old and you don’t need to keep the compass absolutely level much easier to use. One or two bad readings and you could be lost, I will spend the extra 15 bucks for a compass that I may be able to pass down to my kids easier and safer to use and won’t definitely be broken in a couple of years.

I would spend the extra $20 and go up one model. But this does work just dont play rough with it. Decl offset markings hard to read, i just add/subtract on dail itself way easier.

Works well and is compact. Plastic seems a little lightweight but hopefully it will be durable. I like it and it’s a backup compass for me. If I was a daily user I would pay more for a better model. This fits the bill perfectly for an emergency backup though.

The clear trade-off here is how flimsy the plastic feels so try not to drop it on any rocks or slam it in your pack. It works perfectly and will save a couple of ounces on it's heavier metal counterparts built for durability.

This compass is a bargain! It's a great size, and lightweight. It's both precise and accurate. I appreciate that it floats. The mirror is clear and can be used for signaling. For ~$20, you can't go wrong.Do not be put off by some of the negative reviews. I hesitated buying this one, but trusted my gut knowing this is from Suunto. I do not think it's fragile as some reviews have suggested. It'll hold up just fine being shoved in a pack, or taking falls on a trail. Though I'm sure if you smash it with some rocks you can break it. The mirror is also not cloudy as some have reported; you need to remove the film protecting it. If you want other features, or "higher quality" materials (which will weigh more too), then you're looking at something in a higher price point.
