I'm exceptionally satisfied with this compass. It would be nice if the needle swung a little more freely but, I have had nothing but success with this product.
It's made from some sort of heavy duty composite that is rugged enough to survive a 12 foot drop off a ledge with a 150 pound man landing on it. It survived this unscathed.
 Not bad quality - Good Price - Not a bet your life on product March 13, 2009

In general, okay to good. The accuracy is off by 1 to 2 degrees, they stuck the dial on slightly askew. Dampening - way too much, but not bad if you're mountain biking and giving it a beating. Design is good and solid, illumination is lacking a full moon is required.
YOU MUST HOLD IT LEVEL - failure to do so will result in readings off by as much as 10+ degrees.
In general, at less than $15, a buy. BUT, if you're serious and way out in the woods get a Cammenga.
It's cheap, does what it's supposed to, but you get what you pay for October 17, 2008

No, it's not a Cammenga. For <$11 no one should expect the same quality. If you hold it level, you will get an accurate enough reading to head you in the direction you want--but you'd better hold it level....and wait a minute for it to settle.
I've got an old better quality Brunton that I would trust with my life--this one I would not. In no way would I use this with a topo map in big woods. Out of the box, it points about 10 degrees E of mag N compared to the older Brunton and a high priced GPS at speed(which agree).
I use it in the deer woods to get a fairly accurate reading on wind direction and stand placement. It fits in the smallest pocket on my belt pack which is why I bought it. If it breaks, I'll get a new one.
The case is non-ferrous--seems sturdy enough. Better have a working flashlight or a Bic to see the alleged luminous cardinal points>>charge them with a flashlight, and they're dark in about 5 minutes.
Bottom line: if you need a compass that will point you approximately where you want to get...for the money it gets the job done. If you want accuracy, buy better quality.

This is a good product. However, it is not the same color as depicted in the photo. It is more of a darker gray.

If you truly want a military compass, go ahead and save the necessary $70 and buy a good one, perhaps ordering it from Ranger Joe's in Columbus GA. It's worth it, for a compass far more durable than this one.
