If you are looking for for just a N-S/E-W compass get something cheap. If you are looking for a decent back-up for navigation this thing is a beauty. Due to its size its only marked in 5 degree increments, but with a steady hand and decent eyesight you can narrow it down to 2.5 degrees (space between the dots). For those that don't know, 1 degree off-course over the distance of ONE mile is approx. 92 feet, so 2.5 degrees off is about 225 feet.
With all that being said, this IS NOT a primary compass for a beginner. In a life/death situation or search situation this is only a BACK-UP compass. Get a GOOD (usually meaning $75+) compass with 1 degree markings.
I've used an M-9 since 2001, and it finally died, the plastic case cracked, some liquid leaked, so a bubble that formed keeps the pointer from spinning freely.
This is my 3rd M-9, as I've bought two, keeping one as a spare. I use them both on surface and underwater to as deep as 260' ... although not rated as a diving compass, all fluid filled devices are non-compressible and should take great depths without issue. Diving capacity has been proven for the years I've owned this compass and others who use it similarly.
Pros
Very free spinning and accurate
Light weight
Rotating degree bezel
sighting capacity
transparent case, easy to check for defects
Usable underwater to depths at least to 260'
Velcro strap binds very well underwater
Cons
If not leveled during sighting, pointer will lock [fix: flick it with your finger, and a proper direction will not change much with movement]
Plastic case, will not last forever
Summary:
I've seen a number of compasses for field use in the middle of nowhere, and for so simple a device, its amazing so many are unreliable [whatever magnets they use don't hold its magnetism permanently], inaccurate markings, or poor construction. If you get lost because your compass doesn't work when you need it, its not worth any amount of money.
Suunto has made a name for itself in compasses, and what seems cheap looking is very well engineered, yet simple.
If you need a compass for general use, the watch mounted Clipper works best. I use those underwater too to 260', to backup the M-9.

Rien à redire sur la précision (c’est Suunto, fabriquée en Finlande !)
La bonne surprise : elle offre un système de visée avec vue sur le cap en degrés.
J’avais un peu peur de la finesse des entrecornes où l’on accroche le bracelet, mais je l’ai porté nuit et jour plus d’un mois sans le moindre problème : le boîtier est dans une matière plastique très solide.
Su sistema es de fácil lectura y precisa para definir el rumbo. Solo debes practicar un ratillo antes de meterte en la jungla con ella. :P
El único punto negativo es la correa... no me gusta para nada. Pero por lo menos es segura y estable, y no es tan mala a punto de quitarle una estrellita.
Fino a questo momento è la miglior bussola da polso che abbia mai avuto, non c'è da stupirsi che sia molto apprezzata anche dal personale militare (in particolare dalle forze speciali di mezzo mondo).
