I bought this compass because the magnetometer/compass in my phone is terrible and always gives incorrect readings. This is an ordinary magnetic/mechanical compass. It has the usual features, a cover that protects it and when raised gives you an aiming line and a few notches that can be used to find object sizes if you know its distance, or distance if you know its size – not a direct read, some mathematical work required for this, the numbers table included in the manual, can be copied into your phone. There is also a bearing bezel. A little lens magnifies bearings for a more accurate reading. The manual says this little lens can be focused, but I did not find that to be true. For me, the lens works fine without my glasses on but is useless with them. Still, there is little point to this feature unless the compass is held steady and level on a table or tripod. Hand-held (because of wobble and tilt) the lens is no more accurate than merely looking down on the top of the compass disk. The manual also mentions a vertical angle measurement feature, but that is not available on this model.
The metallic case is solid and protective. The glass cover is also protected, and the nylon case is fine. Overall a decent tool for the money.

I got this for my stepson for Christmas. He’s moderately interested in survival and bushcraft. I knew he didn’t have one. Looked for one with high reviews and decided on this. It’s heavy and has some really cool features that neither I nor my husband have seen. However, the bezel is super lose. I wonder if you were in a situation where you’d actually need to use it, is this going to be a problem? My husband noticed right away and pointed this out to me. And ya, come to think of it I remember a bezel usually has quite a bit of resistance so that your readings are consistent as you move about. I will do a little research and see if there is a screw I can tighten somewhere and adjust this. For reference, both my husband and I are military. I’m a supporter, and don’t use my topo skills like ever, unless I was on a course or something. My husband on the other hand has 20 years, and though he’s a desk and office guy now, these skills were pretty well hammered in. Bottom line, definitely doesn’t seem cheap, the simple case is a nice touch, and it has loads of nifty things like the viewing feature.

A genuinely cool and what appears to be a solidly made military-style compass. It has great features that I really love. Sighting the compass is very easy, as is taking a bearing. I like the sighting lens that clearly shows the azimuth, the really cool leveling bubble, and the fluorescent dial and arrow. The carrying pouch is well-made and appears to be waterproof (or at least water-resistant) — all in all this should have been a great purchase, and would have been except for one thing — when I checked it against four other compasses,* I found that this compass is off by about ten-degrees, which in my opinion makes it worthless for any sort of serious navigation.

Update — 24 May 18 First let me say that my review was an honest appraisal, and it is a truly cool and what appears to be a solidly made military-style compass. I do love the many great features this compass has and it seems to be very easy to use. Quite frankly, I didn’t (don’t) need another compass, but I actually WANTED TO BUY this compass, as it reminded me of one that I had seen in a book. My initial tests — which I conducted several times — led me to the conclusion that their compass was off by about ten-degrees; per the request of the Sportneer Customer Satisfaction Team (in the comments section of this review) I intended to send them an e-mail detailing the problem I had with their compass. However before writing/sending their e-mail, I decided to go out and conduct the same tests that I had conducted earlier to test the accuracy of their compass. This time I came up with different results. Perhaps because this compass makes sighting and reading the azimuth so easy, I am mistaking accuracy for inaccuracy (most compasses are only graduated in two degree increments as opposed to one). Since it now appears that I may be the one in error, I am changing my review appropriately.

Very sturdy and very accurate.
This is exactly like the Army compasses I am familiar with. One additional feature is the centering bubble.
It has gone through two seasons and no fogging up yet, so air-tightedness is not at all an issue.
Very reasonable price for the quality you get and definitely value for money.

All metal housing, some plastic add-ons, large 3 cm dial, rotating pointer, even a 1/4-20 screw mount. What’s not to like. The sighting optics are surprisingly bright making dial readings easy. This compass should last a life time

Very sturdy housing, seems like it could handle some harsh abuse. Built very well for the price, it was cheap, functionality shows that. I’ve compared it to several other compasses as well as digital ones. This one looks, feels great but won’t point true north… it’s off a few degrees. Kids will enjoy it, but for someone using it for way finding go to a more reputable compass manufacturer.
