Great night time glow. I am still learning how to use it correctly, but this is a great product. Now I can find my way out of a paper bag or forest.
It feels premium and well built. Seems to very accurate and great value for military use. It also feels a bit weighty too. Only thing I don’t like is the plastic piece in the center moves. If that wears out it can make navigation becomes inaccurate. Doesn’t comes with any good instructions on its use but you can google and find videos to help you.
This was my first real compass, after sticking to single function ball and button compasses. I was really impressed with the optics on this compass, especially the side-graduated dial that tells you what degree you’re facing. It looks like a pretty tough compass.
Seriously though this thing is nice. Feels like it’s built well. Dense. Everything moves smooth, no squeaks, thumb holder is not flimsy, Will need to to learn how to use it to get moneys worth. Glad I bought it
I bought this for night time navigation since it is marketed as luminous. However, only the outer dial is luminous. The north arrow is painted light green, giving the impression of being luminous, but it is in fact not visible at night. This makes aligning the north with the dial impossible at night. Other than this flaw, this product has been really great. It would have been nice to have a compass lock mechanism so that it doesn't shake when closed, making it resistant to shaking. It is possible that this compass protects itself via some other mechanism. I am not sure.
