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!

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.

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.

Because of its size, it looks like a toy, but definitely doesn’t cost what a toy would. It works, and that’s what matters to me. I have it just in case of emergencies and I hope it won’t let me down. All in all, it looks solid. I compared it to cheaper compasses (gadgets) and the result is practically the same, although this one seems to stabilize and react faster – it doesn’t shake. It's probably best to have even such a tiny thing but from a reputable company rather than a gadget from an unknown source.

I'm not a compass specialist, but calling it medium size in the description is an exaggeration. The compass is tiny, but fortunately, the given dimensions are correct, so if someone reads them, they will know what they are buying. Besides, it shows correctly, too bad it has no loop for a string, but that's easily fixed. Good as an emergency element for a micro kit in a tin.
