This compass is far smaller than I expected. I should have read the description more thoroughly. The numbers are too small for me to read easily. It’s far too too over priced for its size at $16.99 + tax!I wanted to return it, but now the process is that Amazon will deduct $6.99 from my refund even though I pay a monthly fee for Amazon Prime!!! So this purchase now will Cost me $7 for an already overpriced tiny compass that looks like something from a $1 coin machine for kids prizes!

Compass too small to read.

It's very important to note that - the white bezel will not 'spin freely' if you use the small round black elastic band that held the neck string together by placing it underneath around the bezel, then it will stay where you turn it to. That's what it's for, apparently some people don't realize it's not part of the packaging, it's part of the compass. I really like this handy little compass alot, so when I'm not wearing it, I'm keeping it in it's partially pried open package with the much needed instructions on the back, with my maps, protected from loss or damage.

Easy to use and very accurate for it's size and cost. Even glows when exposed to light briefly. Applications? Think hunter pin in coat or shirt if you lose your pack down that cliff ( remember two is one...) or perfect for a survival / bug out bag. Effective as a key chain addition for EDC on a length of paracord. How about tied on the sheath of your knife? Or tied into the laces of your boots. What is better then most tiny compasses is the functional plate to guage direction and the rotation of the outer ring makes this a true orientation compass. Yes it is small and if your vision is lacking you may need glasses. If you view my pic it will reveal a red guide line on the base plate and tiny dots of colors for N,S,E,W that I did with t-shirt marker. Makes for quick orientation of N,S,E,W. The red line helps to point out the intended direction of travel.So the last question is it reliable? That remains to be seen. Check back in at 6 months and a year. I will update then.Ah! One last thing. Any compass can reverse North and South. If so it's due to a strong magnetic field and you can easily fix it. Just use a rare earth magnet, line up on North and slide it straight across the compass face to South. If done properly it will now point properly. Know the science. Wink!5/16/2022. Takes a licking and keeps on working. So is it reliable? YES!

Quand ils disent mini, faut pas prendre a la légère. C'est miniatures, la grandeur d'un pendentif.

Much smaller than expected, I overlooked the product dimensions.Comparable to a small matchbox, but much thinner obviously. Handy little compass for any excursion and it seems to work just fine!

The good news is that the compass actually works. Quickly moves to point north, nicely fluid and steady. The construction seems sturdy. The bad news? The rotating bezel is free to spin without any significant resistance which means that it can't be relied upon to hold a return direction. Use with extreme caution if you want but I don't recommend it.
