Unfortunately, the compass is not universal. The silicone loop can stretch a bit, but I don't recommend it for straps wider than 20 mm. I have 22 mm and the whole silicone mount stretches too much, it doesn't look good. The compass itself works correctly. For that price, you just have to take it.
Compact button compass engineered for mounting on a watch strap with a maximum width of 2 cm. The directional disc, marked with a world direction scale, is encased in a robust, sealed housing crafted from durable plastic. Attachment to the strap is secured via a loop integrated on the rear of the compass.

I bought this small compass for my watch and I’m really satisfied with the purchase — it’s a great, simple addition that can come in handy not only for everyday use but also on short trips or hikes. The compass itself is incredibly compact and lightweight, and its design lets you easily attach it to a watch strap (maximum strap width is 20mm) or even to another type of band or bracelet, so you basically always have it at hand. The direction indications are accurate enough in most cases — after a moment of “settling,” the needle correctly points to north and other main directions, which I even checked by comparing it to a larger compass and a GPS. Still, you have to remember that this is a small tool made from simple materials, so it works a bit slower than larger models and it’s not super precise in extreme conditions. Additionally, like any small compass, it can react to the proximity of electronics — it’s better to keep it away from your phone or large metal objects while using it. Despite these minor limitations, its quality-to-price ratio is a huge advantage — for a small amount of money, you get a practical gadget that can really help with orientation outdoors or just be an interesting addition to your watch. It’s an ideal option if you want to always have a compass at hand without spending a fortune on professional equipment.

Another purchase at Militaria.pl and once again I am satisfied with the service of the store as well as with the purchased product itself. Everything as described, I recommend!

I just put it on just like in the video. Fits perfectly on the G-Shock GBD 200. A small compass always comes in handy. Very well made and shows what it’s supposed to show. Fast shipping as always from militaria.pl. I recommend it. Now it's on sale.

The small compass works, and that's the most important thing. It is small and can be mounted in different ways so that it's always within reach. That's exactly what I need. I ordered 2 units because they're on sale. Fast shipping as always from militaria.pl

Although the compass is small, it works as it should. It’s true that you really need to keep it away from your phone as it interferes with the compass's performance. But apart from that, I have no complaints, it's worth its price.

Despite the low price, this compass really works; although sometimes it takes a moment to "find" the field line, and proximity to electronic devices can interfere with its operation, in general it shows north quite accurately (checked with a more expensive compass and GPS). It fits perfectly on 20 mm wide straps, not sure about wider ones.

Great compass that’s worth having, it holds on the watch well. The direction readings are very similar compared to the large Silva compass. Good for quickly checking direction and making quick corrections. For more precise readings, another device is needed. I recommend it.

Previous reviewers have said it all: great thing, worth buying a few, especially if you’re a few coins short of free shipping. As for mounting it on a watch strap – in my opinion, definitely doable, although on my G-Shock GBD-200 it doesn’t sit as well as I would like – the strap widens near the case, so you can’t push the compass closer to the case. But that's the watch’s problem, not the Highlander's.

An ordinary compass that can always come in handy in the field. Unfortunately, my watch has too wide a strap, so it doesn’t fit; I'll just hang the compass on a string. Still, it’s a cool gadget, definitely better than a button compass because of its size.

Product as described. The compass is great. Small, lightweight, fits on a watch strap loop. The direction readings are very similar compared to the large Silva compass. It’s good for quickly checking direction and making quick corrections. For more precise readings, another device is needed. I recommend it.

A very elegant gadget for a watch, a bracelet, or just for emergencies, because you can never have enough compasses. It's worth getting a few so you can always find your way in the field. I recommend it!

Well, it's just a regular button compass. I checked it with a good compass, it points correctly. It won’t slide onto my GT3 Pro's strap, I checked. But let's not kid ourselves, I bought it, I'll toss it in my backpack, and forget about it. Maybe someday in a crisis situation I'll find it and mentally thank myself. Get one if you need to meet the shipping threshold. A small trinket, might come in handy one day :)

Very nice compass. I have been using it for some time with no complaints so far. Sometimes I check it with a larger compass to see if it indicates correctly, and it performs perfectly. The compass can be attached to any standardized watch strap, so you can always have it with you, and the convenience is maximum. The price is low, which only increases the attractiveness of the product. I definitely recommend it!
