Great compass, I've never had a better one. Strong plastic, it makes a solid impression, works smoothly and without any reservations. It would only be useful to have a small case, as you have to find another way to store it.

This is one of Silva's basic and smaller models, but it fully does its job. Lightweight and compact design, accurate measurement thanks to declination correction and very careful workmanship. Despite the high price, the compass is definitely worthy of purchase for the long term.
-
Excellent compass, very sturdily made and quick to react to changes in direction. It is precise in use and works great for both short and long trips. A product definitely worth recommending, impressive in its quality.
-
A great compass for working with a map, which really has a wide range of uses. People who like traditional solutions will certainly appreciate that they don’t have to use a smartphone, but can navigate classically on a map.
-
Very sensitive, sturdy, and compact compass. The needle reacts quickly. In the city, due to numerous electromagnetic sources, it can show false readings and you need to move away from them – this shows its high sensitivity. The quality is at a very good level.
-
It indicates north correctly, I haven't noticed any problems indoors, unlike in other opinions. It's the cheapest 'branded' compass – remember that it's not a geological compass. Well worth recommending for its price.
-
The compass could be a bit longer, because when setting an azimuth from one point to another, even if they're close together, you need to use a ruler.
-
It works properly, you can safely buy it.
-
Indoors, the compass indicates incorrect directions – probably due to many metal elements around. Interestingly, cheaper models didn't have such problems. However, it works correctly outside.
-
Very good quality workmanship. I recommend it to everyone.
-
Small, convenient, and precise compass – exactly what I needed.
-
A very high quality product – it shows north quickly and precisely, even while walking. Just slow down briefly and the compass stabilises, so you know you haven't deviated much from your set bearing. Using it helps you understand the price and appreciate the quality. I recommend it.
-
Excellent compass, sturdy and very precise in the field. Highly recommended.
-
