The compass will not work very well during a fast march when you need to determine the direction instantly, because it always needs a moment to show north. However, if time is not an issue, it will be very good.
Helikon T25 wrist compass
The compass is a practical addition to a survival kit, especially during hikes in unfamiliar terrain. Worn on the wrist, it ensures quick access to navigation. This model features a phosphorescent dial that remains legible even after dark. The durable nylon strap with hook-and-loop closure keeps the device securely on the wrist.
Rotating bezel, lens, and 360-degree scale
The dial is made of lightweight and durable material with good resistance to water. It is placed in a container filled with a non-freezing liquid, which allows smooth operation of the mechanism. The protective glass includes a lens for precise reading. A rotating bezel and full 360° scale complete the design.

A nice, inexpensive gadget that's worth having on you when your electronics fail. Although it's nothing special, it helps you get your bearings. I've got one in my backpack, but I'll probably buy a second one for my bike.
-
Just to warn you, it's not suitable for precise course setting, but as a backup compass it's a great solution. Unfortunately, aligning north takes quite some time – checking this watch is as time-consuming as taking a good classic compass out of your pocket. However, as an extra option for an approximate sense of north, it works great.
-
Neat and practical wrist compass. You don’t have to pull anything out or look for it – just glance at it like a watch. It may seem a trifle, but brings a lot of joy.
-
Looks a bit like a toy, but it's effective and reacts very quickly to north. The wide scale tilt means you don't have to level it perfectly – very handy while running.
-
The compass is clear, the needle works smoothly, strap holds well – but fits a small wrist. Very good as additional equipment for quick direction checks, especially when you don't have time for analysis.
-
A very positive surprise. Small, plastic, but very strong and solid. Quickly picks up the azimuth, is precise and legible. I didn't expect such quality. I bought it without high expectations, and it's a real gem – durable and sturdy product.
-
Excellent compass – small, precise, and the needle reacts so quickly you can even run. Plus, the luminescence is fantastic; after being exposed to light, it shines for a long time. Great for trips and perfect as a gift.
-
The Helikon T25 wrist compass is a small and neat model. Works well as an extra tool alongside your main compass. The downside is quite a short strap. It points north correctly.
-
Up close, it looks a bit like a toy, but it's effective. The dial orients itself quickly, and the plastic housing, contrary to appearances, doesn't scratch easily. For tourism and quick orientation in the field, it’s quite sufficient. NATO-type nylon watch straps with an 18 mm lug width fit, so you can even match it to your favourite watch strap.
-
Nice wrist compass, though the strap could be a bit longer. Shows the right direction, is small, light and good value. Tactically useful in any kit.
-
Works well as a backup, emergency device. Sometimes you have to shake it to make it work properly, but that's not a problem during a hike.
-
The compass is very small yet still clear, the needle is quick, and the strap is stable. Perfect for quick direction checks – ideal as backup equipment, very useful outdoors when time matters.
-
Very nice device, doesn't take up much space and fits the hand well. It will work great, especially if your guide is inexperienced. I definitely recommend it to everyone as a backup, especially when your phone runs out of power.
-
Everything is fine, but the strap is definitely too short. People with larger wrists will have to replace the strap. That's why I also think the price is a bit high.
