Useful, handy, but only as a backup to a a true orienteering compass

Useful, handy, but only as a backup to a a true orienteering compass
I learned orienteering in the days prior to GPS, tested on the water and in the wilderness. I learned on a simple transparent orienteering compass, using the Silva 1-2-3 method, used by scouts, and orienteering competitors alike back in the day. You lay the compass down on your map, pictured is getting the bearing, say you are in LA, looking to go to Las Vegas as the crow flys. In this example, its 48 degrees, NE that I got from the map - (I'm ignoring the slight magnetic offset from true north just to keep this simple). To navigate simple hold the orienteering compass in your hand and put the red dial on "N" and look at the "read bearing" arrow to a far away point on the horizon, or a tree/rock if you are on a lake or something. follow that, repeat and if you were going the long distance from LA to Las Vegas, you'd be headed in the right direction as the crow flys. That's what a bezel is for. The thing is, this is not a transparent compass easy to lay down on a map, it's very small, so even if it was, it would be tough to get a accurate angle/bearing. After I've used for year, the compass falls out of the bezel many times - so I just gorilla glue it into the bezel, making it unmovable, and the compass never falls out. I think the bezel is a toy. So, why do I even have it? If I was doing the drive from LA to las vegas, it's not as the crow flys, I just want to know to go NE on a road to get there. Even with GPS, if I plan a new route, until the car moves, it's very handy to know quickly which way is north so I know which way to turn every now and then. It is accurate in that its worked on a commercial flight (as a passenger). it's a great simple backup to a gps, or real compass, but, forget the bezel, it's a gimmick imo. It does glow in the dark and orients fast and accurately, I love having it for what it simply does well. Glueing the bezel down makes it reliable....

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2016

For me, this is a very handy low tech gadget that works pretty well. Would I go deep into CO elk country with this compass as my lifeline?? NEGATIVE!! When venturing anywhere new, I usually have a sat-nav unit and "always" have a full size Suunto base plate compass and map but I still find myself checking this little compass on my wrist often because it's relatively quick, easy and for the most part, right on. I believe that what makes this little unit more expensive that other watch band compasses is it's rotating bezel that you can use to set a bearing by using a small directional arrow tip on the unit. Very similar to a full size compass. So far, and this is my 3rd one, it holds up, finds magnetic north and withstands weather , bumps and knocks, and work in and out of water up to 5'. When the Timex that it's attached to shoots craps, I pitch the whole rig and start fresh, about once every year. My only complaint is that it can be slow to "settle" on north. Hiking or hunting, no big deal. Biking, running, etc, you'll be frustrated.
AMENDED!! As with some of the other reviewers, my compass fell apart. There had been no recent extreme conditions, I just looked down and all that was left on my watch band was the compass bottom plate that attaches to the watch band. Very disappointing after only about 30 days of use. This compass has by far, IMO, the best working features and accuracy of any watchband compass AND this is the 1st one of three that failed. Never the less, it just fell apart and all that is irrelevant at this point. Maybe it's a flawed design or a quality control issue? Either way, I can't recommend this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Keeping You Properly Oriented
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2020
Style: Nh CompassVerified Purchase
I purchased the SUUNTO Clipper to supplement my SUUNTO MC-2 baseplate compass. I attached the Clipper to my 22mm G-Shock resin watch band (which is fairly thick.) I had to notch the watch band slightly so that the open side of the compass clip (which has two fairly sharp plastic points) would grab the band better. It fits comfortably on my band, but would likely fit better and completely close over a thinner watch band/backpack strap (e.g., 16-22 mm.) When off my watch, the magnetic north on the Clipper accurately matched my baseplate compass bearing. Where it is attached on the 6 o'clock side of my watch band, it is situated on the inside of my wrist (closest to my body.) At that location, although a fair distance from the watch body/face, the metal in the watch appears to throw off the compass magnetic north by about 5 degrees. Even with that degradation of accuracy, I recently used the Clipper in that configuration on a 5-mile hike and it did a good job of maintaining a fairly accurate reading of north. To read the bearing, I found that it works best if I bend my elbow at the side of my body and point my arm away from the front of my body in a perpendicular position, and turn my wrist upward so that the compass is oriented in a level position. Thanks to the liquid filled jewel bearing, the cardinal points (N-W-E) rotate nicely when the Clipper is held in that manner. The luminous cardinal points glow brightly in the dark once charged with sunlight or a flashlight. The glow holds for about three minutes, decreasing incrementally in intensity until ultimately faint, but still readable. I received the compass earlier than originally promised, so I was very happy with that. Overall, a good compass at a reasonable price, but should only be relied upon for quick direction finding to help keep you oriented.

1.0 out of 5 stars I Guarantee You'll Lose This Thing. The Housing For The Capsule Is Seriously Substandard.
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2023
Style: Nh CompassVerified Purchase
Nice little compass with a completely inferior housing. The housing is NOT thick enough to slip over a polymer wristband of a more rugged outdoor watch like a G-Shock or a Pro-Trek. There is a clasp on the side that opens so it can be slid over the side of a map like a paper clip. That's great if I wanted a paper clip with a compass attached. I do not want that. I want a compass that I can slide onto my watch band and know that it will not open on the side and immediately flip itself off into space with the slightest force one might be exerting while moving through brush or actually using one's arms for outdoor tasks. The Suunto people need to come up with a better solution. It is most unfortunate because the Suunto compass capsule (the thing with the North/South/East/West spinny thing inside) is a pretty good capsule. Easy to see. Decent illumination after exposure to light. Liquid doesn't get cloudy. Markings don't fade. Even the rotating bezel with degree markings works well. The housing is a failure.

I might actually end up making a 3d model and printing it with my 3d printer in ABS or PETG. After that, I'll pry out the capsule on a Suunto and stick it inside with a little piece of aggressive double-sided foam. That's how it's attached by Suunto. Not too hard to replicate. It's a bummer that I think I'll have to make one so I can actually use the preferred Suunto capsule.

Unless one likes buying these frequently after getting launched in the outdoors, I'd stay away from it. Or at least have several with you so you can find your way.

1mo review: I've been running this on a NATO strap with a Timex Navi XL Auto for a month. So far my opinion is that this is a fantastic little compass for the price. It hasn't been pinpoint accurate compared to my Suunto MC-2. But, it needs to be said that this should NOT be your primary compass. This is intended to be a secondary or quick reference compass. It'll work excellent for urban environments, but you wouldn't want this as your only compass in a land navigation scenario.

The compass was off about 5 degrees as compared to other Suunto, Silva and Cammenga compasses. The rotating bezel for half the rotation was solid and had the clicks, the other half rotation spun freely so it would not stay where needed for navigation. In my opinion, I would have been better served with the Sun brand mini compass for less than half the cost.

The Suunto Clipper L/B Compass is an outstanding little gadget for any outdoor adventurer. Its compact size is deceiving – this compass is both robust and accurate. Clipping it onto my watch strap, I barely notice it's there, yet it's incredibly handy for quick orientation checks while hiking or backpacking. The luminous bezel is a great feature for low-light conditions. While it's not a replacement for a full-sized compass on serious treks, it's perfect for day hikes or as a reliable backup. It’s a testament to Suunto's quality and attention to detail. Highly recommended for anyone who loves to explore the great outdoors!
