Review: Quality build and finish - This is a robust and well-made compass, ideal for trekking and exploring. The markings are very clear and the rotating bezel is smooth and easy to operate. The declination adjustment is simple to make, using the supplied small tool, which I keep on the same lanyard as the compass. The only reason for 4 stars for accuracy is that as a hand held compass it's never going to be as accurate as, say, compass binoculars, but it's certainly accurate enough for general use.
Review: Top piece of kit - Brilliant Compass that eliminates all the troubles that you have ever had with a cheap compass. Global needle can be used anywhere in the world. You can set declination which means not having to faff around adding or subtracting a few degrees for each bearing. Easy view clear to see degrees. Dial has raised points so you can turn the bezel easily and accurately even with thick gloves on and the whole thing lights up like a christmas tree in the dark after shining your torch on the illuminous markings. Stays glowing for hours. Good tilt angle on the needle doesnt get jammed easy and the liquid inside prevents the needle from wobblying in inclimate and freezing weather. I was a bit weary about paying more than what I thought for a compass but this is well worth the money. Well thought out piece of kit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Compass, but highly priced
*by J***P on 25 February 2019*

I have used a variety of compasses and after failing to take the plunge on another Silva (reading that quality has dropped slightly) I opted for this Suunto instead. I will start by saying this is a Great compass, it feels robust and it does what it should. The plastic is clear and the markings for scales and measuring have a fine clarity to them. The magnifying glass is effective and the luminescent parts hold a good source of light for a long time. I quite like the protractor although I honestly cant say I have used it, It may come into its own when its taken into avalanche territory. I also like the declination adjustment as someone who works with older maps. The Bezel is nice and chunky with a good 'housing grip' meaning a gloved hand can take a sighted bearing easily. bearing increments are easy to read with a clear indication point and the compass features line up nicely to the eye for this task also. when using the compass on the map, the rubber 'feet' do a great job of holding it in place. There are a few things I was suprised about being a £48 compass (especially as people had commented on such a high quality product). Firstly the needle sometimes sticks slightly meaning care should be taken to ensure its came to rest before taking or walking on a bearing, this also occurs on the protractor but can be remedied with a slight tap. some of the printing around the bezel for the N,E,S,W are not completely printed this can be said for some of the luminescent markings too (not an issue as such, but we are paying £48). My main issue is the bezel can have 'stiction' when i am trying to make fine adjustments, it should be smoother, otherwise you rotate the compass on the map loosing your bearing or you rotate your hand when taking a sighted bearing. i understand this may be a side effect of having a housing that feels robust and reliable but its something to bear in mind if you are trying to take very accurate bearings. I do however, on balance, think this is a great piece of nav kit and it will certainly remain in my pack until further notice. The robustness and easyness of reading make it a good winter compass (operating to -30°C). I also like that the supplied lanyard has a half clasp that attaches for quick release from the compass (but strong enough to not be accidently pulled away) and that the declination adjustment tool (located on the lanyard) can also be used as a map pointer. Robustness 9/10 Readout ease 9/10 Ease of use 7/10 Features 9/10 Reliability 8/10
