The compass was what I wanted but the small torch is actually quite good on a keyring. The compass is well made, looks really good and reminds me a little bit of the kind of field compass that I saw used back in the 1960's by various people on school trips etc. I like the old fashioned army feel.
Because the movement is liquid damped you need to wait a little for the needle to move and settle. You also need to hold it level to ensure that the movement operates correctly. If you intend to use it for walking take it out on a short walk first that you know and get used to the movement.
The first compass that I received did not work at all so I sent it back and they refunded me my postage and sent me a new compass that works fine. The supplier seems to be a good one that responds to problems with out any issues. The packing was very good.

I bought this item out of curiosity. it being similar to those I used as a national service man in the nineteen forties. To be on the safe side, I used it, at first, in tandem with my Silva 5/45 Expedition which cost eight times as much. The accuracy equalled that of the Silva though it took an age to for the pointer to reach north. This is only to be expected from this type of compass and I was prepared for it. Despite this, it was a joy to use and I would be happy to use it on any occasion by itself. The case is strong enough to stand on without fear of having to pick up the pieces afterwards and the only thing I take with me when I use it on unfamiliar ground is a six inch plastic ruler with which to line up points of travel on the map. Heartily recommended for fun or serious use. Faster operation would have earned five stars.

I bought this as a wee gift for an outdoorsey person. The verdict - 'an inspired choice', the recipient obviously pleased.It is sturdy and the free keyring seemed to create a fair bit of interest too, useful and compact. If I was an outdoors person I would have bought one for myself.

It's good if not a little slow.
Got it this morning. For what you pay, it is good value. Could be a little faster though. Takes upto 30 seconds for it to rotate and find it's way on a flat surface! Read more

OK compass
To make it simple this compass can do the job. It is a little slow in finding north but unless you're running while trying to read it it gives the correct reading. Read more

Travellers Gift
I bought this as a gift for a friend who was going travelling and she loved it. It came with a little LED light which she thought was great also as it was a key ring.
