I have appreciated the Polish brand Helikon Tex for years, so I decided to buy their compass as well, even though I already have several others. It is truly a very successful product — the needle works with remarkable precision and does not stick even when the housing is tilted quite a lot. The strap can admittedly be replaced with a stronger one, but the current one also does its job. It also pairs very well with a watch in a black plastic case. I definitely recommend it.

It works! The strap is weak, admittedly, but after attaching it to a waist pack it fulfills its role. In my case, it is a backup navigator that does its job. I recommend it.
-
The device demonstrates excellent ergonomics and effectiveness. It features high legibility, excellent responsiveness, and needle precision. Its solid construction and secure strap ensure durability, making this equipment a great choice in this price segment.
-
It works, that's the most important thing and not obvious at this price. Many cheaper or similarly priced compasses simply don't do their job well. Additionally, it looks nice and is easy to use on the hand :)

This is a typical military wrist compass with liquid, which you can wear on your wrist. It will come in handy when electronic devices like GPS, phones or smartwatches are dead, jammed by EW systems or have been damaged by water. It's a great navigation support that you always have with you and that doesn't need battery power. Helikon-Tex T25 stands out for its simplicity, durability, and reliability, with a very affordable price. It takes up little space, is as light as a feather, and can help you get out of even the most challenging terrain in tough conditions. It fully deserves its recognition as reliable tactical equipment. I definitely recommend it.

Good material for a backup compass or for occasional use or an emergency kit. I haven't used the watch itself as a compass so far, but during mountain trips it was nice to glance at it and mentally confirm the direction. If your mind is calm, your walk is more pleasant. The price is not high, so I think the money spent on the purchase was worth it.
-
A very good alternative when everything else fails. I carried it with my backpack all the time, and you can also put it on your wrist with a Velcro strap. It correctly indicates directions, sometimes it needs a few seconds.
-
Interesting large compass, fits the watch, can be worn on the wrist in uniform or put on your own strap on which you have the watch, the compass strap is 21mm, the compass can be put on a 22mm strap. I can recommend it.
-
The compass would be perfect and fully meet my expectations if not for the strap being too small. You can’t call it luxurious, but for experienced people, its construction is solid and practical. This is not my main compass—I always have a main one, and this one I always keep with me, not in my backpack.
-
The compass does its job perfectly. It's made of good materials. It fits a 21cm wrist. You can also attach it in another way, for example, to a backpack. Now it's on a good promotion, so just grab it. I recommend it.
-
Hello, a nice, handy compass with a rotating dial that allows you to determine the general direction you want to go. It will definitely be useful for people walking in the forest.
-
The compass is probably not suitable for fast marches where you want to quickly check the direction, as it always needs a bit of time to find north. If you don't care about speed, it will be great.
-
Nice, inexpensive gadget that’s good to have with you if electronics fail. It's nothing extraordinary but at least allows you to orient yourself in the field. I bought one for my backpack but will probably get a second one to keep with my touring bike all the time.
-
I’ll say right away, it's not suitable for indicating the direction of walking, but as a second compass it’s a very nice option. Unfortunately, the time it takes to set north is long, checking this watch takes as much time as pulling out a decent high-end compass from your pocket, but as a backup option to roughly know where north is, it's perfect.
-
A nice, neat wrist compass. No need to rummage anywhere, nothing to pull out, you just need to look at it like a regular watch. It may be a small thing, but it brings joy.
