Review for model:

A very good compass, it was checked against a military compass and a Garmin watch, and it works correctly. The size fits perfectly in the small pocket of classic jeans as well as in the loops of survival gear and EDC kits. I have used it several times in the field and I am very satisfied with it. You can use double-sided adhesive tape and place it on a bicycle stem or a car dashboard. It glows after dark and is visible and easy to read.

Bought as an addition to my EDC, I carry it in my wallet. The compass is small, so it is easy to lose, hence such a place for storing it. However, its size does not make it useless; it is definitely usable, and the readings are clear despite its small size.

I was surprised when unpacking the package. It is very small, about the size of a finger. You have to be careful not to misplace it somewhere. It is a pity that it does not have any loop for attaching it. Most importantly, it works as it should.

It is really very small (in accordance with the stated dimensions), solidly made, and as a backup compass for general orientation it offers sufficient accuracy. I have four units in total. It would only be nice if it were a little flatter.

Solid construction, can be hidden practically anywhere, you just have to remember where, because due to its size it's easy to overlook. It points directions well, tested in various conditions.

The compass fulfills its role - it correctly indicates the cardinal directions. The small variant is very small - comparable to a button on a shirt. This could cause problems as it can be easily lost in the field. I think it would be worth considering the design and adding some kind of loop to which you could attach a minicord to a pocket or belt, for example - this would solve the potential problem of losing it. As it is now, you have to be very careful and keep it preferably in closed pockets. Other than that, I have no comments - I recommend it!

Review for model:

The compass is really good in terms of readability – the "Large" size is, in my opinion, the golden mean between being compact and being able to read the direction easily. The needle works steadily. However, it's a big shame that there is no strap or a loop with a slit that would let you securely attach it to a button or a loop in your pants pocket. Because of this, I'm always worried about losing it. You can try sticking it to something, but in the field there is always a risk that the glue will give out. If the manufacturer added a simple mounting system, it would be 5/5.

The compass is a bit smaller than I expected, but it works correctly. It does glow in the dark, although at night it probably won't be very useful. It will be useful during cloudy weather, and on sunny days, a watch and the sun's rays are enough to determine direction.

The compass is tiny, so you can take it anywhere. But at the same time, because of its small size, you can also lose it easily. If you have holes in your pockets, it's better to consider something larger.

As in the picture, a very small compass, literally like a button. Everything's fine, it works, just be careful not to lose it. It's a pity there's no minimalist attachment for a string or something... but... I recommend it!

Excellent compass for EDC, will fit anywhere so you can always have it with you, e.g., in a zippered pocket. After comparing it with a military compass, there is no noticeable difference in needle deviation.

Review for model:

The size of this little guy is both a disadvantage and an advantage. It will fit anywhere and weighs nothing, but it's easy to lose. Maybe if it was permanently attached to some kind of carabiner, it would be easier to transport. The most important thing, however, is that it works, and it works very well.

This cute, tiny compass is a pretty good option for a small gift for an outdoor and hiking enthusiast. You could even swap someone's toy in a Kinder Surprise egg with it ;-)

Nice, quality emergency compass. As others wrote in their opinions, it is very small (even the Large version), but thanks to this it will fit anywhere. For such a tiny piece, it looks very durable.
