You need to stop to check the direction, or go slowly. For this price, 5/5, perfectly sufficient for a layperson, but if someone has higher demands it's worth paying extra for a higher-end model.

Poor workmanship and does not perform its basic function. It shows north if you're lucky. Poor quality of the dial, and if you use a little too much force, you can damage it.

I thought the negative opinions were exaggerated. It points at something. The housing is metal, but overall build quality is poor. My piece already had an air bubble. The knob rotates together with both marks, and on top of that it literally fell apart in my hands while turning, without using force. It's not even a toy. At most, a prop meant to look like a real compass.

It works fine for me. I was in the forest with this compass, it showed the correct direction, walking around with it reminded me of the army :) The case is pretty sturdy. A small useful gadget, even for kids. I recommend it.

Total junk, points at everything except north, no matter how I set it. Maybe I just got a bad one, but I don't recommend saving money on such equipment.

I bought the compass in a stationary store. Despite leveling, the needle shows a different direction each time. I know it's a compass for less than 30 PLN, I bought it for my 8-year-old son, but still, it should indicate something, maybe I got a demagnetized piece.
-
Accurate, quickly determines directions and holds steady during movement. Because of the plastic casing, it is quite light. Bought for a child as their first decent compass - 100% satisfaction.
-
A compass worth recommending. Its indications are correct, convenient to use. It's worth having it in your backpack. I have to order another one because my son liked it and, as they say, took it over.
-
After removing it from the metal case, the compass works without any problems. Inside the case, it basically didn't want to pick up the direction at all and sometimes pointed the directions incorrectly. The LED did not work—the soldering came off.

Very nice, lightweight compass for basic navigation. Useful in the field for trips or MilSims, easy to use, and the case is made of metal, not plastic as described. Highly recommend—quality matches the price.

It's a bit slow, that's a fact. Not suitable for orienteering, but as part of basic forest gear or for teaching young people who want to go unplugged, it's perfect. Looks solid. The scale in mils is interesting for those curious about American standards ;)

"Expensiveless" compass - very reasonable priced sturdy shell to protect your orientation. Not the most compact but does it's job well! I recommend - perfect to have near your hike/EDC setup as a spare.
-
The compass shows directions well, it just takes a little time, but for this price it's ok. The casing is some kind of metal, seems to be quite durable. Overall, worthy of recommendation.
-
It works. Very well thought out. I especially bought it for my dear friend (8 years old :-)). Perfect as a gift for a boy. First class for mushroom pickers. I recommend.
