AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the orienting of the compass. They say it's a great little comPASS to take on hunts in the woods, good for rough orienteering when you're on the run or in an urban setting, and a good secondary comPass to check the accuracy of your main comPasse. It's also a serious comPUSS with no air bubbles, and the best wristband comPSue they've had. It helps in identifying the direction needed, and is a nice emergency comSus.

"The compass was off about 5 degrees as compared to other Suunto, Silva and Cammenga compasses...." Read more

Customers like the performance of the compass. They mention that it works well, is durable, and clips onto their keychain strap. It works perfectly for maintaining a general bearing, and is accurate. It gets the job done, and works best with a watch band of 18mm. It'll work excellent for urban environments, but you wouldn't want this as your only comPASS. It also works fine on narrower watch bands and during normal activities.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the compass. Some mention that it's very accurate and quality made, while others say that it is very fragile and even a minor crash may unseat the clip. The plastic seems very weak, and the last two I ordered were of lesser quality than the ones I've had before. The dial around the edge seems a little bit fragile, and feels loose and cheap.

"...is a pretty good capsule. Easy to see. Decent illumination after exposure to light...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the size of the compass. Some mention that it fits easily with a clamp onto watch band or separate NATO strap, while others say that it barely fits their 21mm nylon band. That said, opinions are mixed.
"...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.)..." Read more
"...It does exactly what I need it to do, but be advised that it's so small that it's easy to lose (I'm on my second one already)" Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the sturdiness of the outdoor recreation product. They say that the compass fell out without them noticing, it slipped off their 22mm NATO strap, and it popped out of the housing. The comPASS sticks up and out just a tad, making it easier for them to lose. They also mention that the degree bezel ring has a habit of coming off. What's more, the COMPASS is not adhered to the housing, so when the dial pops off, it may be lost.
"...clicks, the other half rotation spun freely so it would not stay where needed for navigation...." Read more
"...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..." Read more

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.
*****Update*****
I have had it for over a year and it is still going strong. The only thing is the numbers on the bezel wear off, but that is not a big deal to me. But it is very handy to find your direction no matter where you are. I mainly bought it for snorkeling, for which it works great for orienting yourself to the beach, but it is very handy no matter what you are doing. Any other compass this size that I have bought has been a waste of money. Worth the money.
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.
And while riding my mountain fell on a steep trail and felt like I was bouncing for a while discovering I was off the trail in the woods.
I'M happy to say that the SUUNTO looked even better than my GShock with just a slight scrape and It was able to help me get my bearing quickly and give me a vector to get back on the trail.
IN OTHER WORDS I GOT A QUICK AZIMUTH and back in the game with the right tool for the right job.
TOUGH LITTLE COMPASS
