    This is a very good compass — I compared it with a military compass and a Garmin watch, and it points correctly. Its size fits perfectly both in the small pocket of classic jeans and in the holders of survival kits and EDC gear. I have already used it several times outdoors and I am very satisfied with it. Thanks to the double-sided tape, it can also be attached to a bicycle stem or a car dashboard. After dark, it glows, so it remains clearly visible and easy to read.

    I bought it as an addition to my EDC and keep it in my wallet. The compass is small, so it’s easy to misplace, which is exactly why I keep it there. Despite its small size, it remains fully functional, and its readings are clear and easy to read.

    After unpacking it, I was surprised because it is really tiny, about the size of a finger. It's easy to lose it somewhere, so you have to be careful. It's a pity the manufacturer didn't add any loop for attaching it. The most important thing, however, is that it works flawlessly.

    Really quite small (see dimensions), sturdy, and sufficiently accurate as an emergency compass for rough orientation. I have four of them in total. It could perhaps just be a little flatter.

    Durable construction, can be easily stored anywhere, but because of its small size, it is easy to lose. Effectively shows directions, tested in various situations.

    The compass does its job well and correctly shows the directions. The small version is extremely tiny, about the size of a shirt button. This could make it easy to lose while using it outdoors. I think it would be worth considering adding an element, such as a loop, which would allow the compass to be attached to a belt or pocket with a mincord – this would eliminate the problem of losing it. At the moment, you need to keep an eye on it and ideally keep it in zippered pockets. Apart from that, everything is fine – I recommend this product!

    The compass is very legible – the 'Large' size is, in my opinion, the perfect compromise between being handy and being easy to read directions. The needle remains stable. It’s a pity that it doesn't have any strap or holder that would make it possible to securely attach it to a button or trouser loop. Because of this, I constantly feel it could be easily lost. Of course, one could try to stick it, but in tough conditions, the glue might not hold. If the manufacturer had added some simple mounting solution, I’d rate the product 5/5.

    The compass is smaller than I imagined, but it works. It really does glow in the dark, although you probably won't need it at night. It will be useful in gloomy weather, but on a sunny day there's enough sunlight and a watch to find your direction.

    The compact size lets you take it anywhere, but that also makes it easier to lose. If you have holes in your pockets, better choose something bigger.

    Just like in the photo, a very tiny compass, literally like a button. Everything is fine, it works, you just have to be careful not to lose it. It's a pity there isn't some kind of minimalist attachment for a cord or something similar... I recommend it!

    Brilliant compass for EDC, it fits everywhere, so you can always have it at hand, e.g. in a zipped pocket. After comparing it with a military compass, there is no visible difference in needle deviation.

    The small size can be both an advantage and a disadvantage – it fits anywhere and is lightweight, but it's easy to lose. Attaching it to a carabiner could make it easier to transport. The most important thing is that it works very well.

    A sweet, tiny compass is a nice option for a small gift for outdoor or walking enthusiasts. You can add it as a joke gift, for example instead of a toy from a Kinder Surprise ;-)

    Very cool and solid emergency compass. As others have mentioned – it is very small (even in the Large option), which means it will fit anywhere. For something so tiny, it looks really durable.
