You have to stop or walk very slowly to check the direction. At this price, I give it 5 out of 5 – perfectly sufficient for beginners. If you expect more, it's worth paying extra for a better model.

Poorly made and doesn’t fulfill its main function—the north indication seems almost random. The dial is of low quality and can easily be damaged with more pressure.
-
I thought the negative reviews were exaggerated. It does indicate something. The casing is metal, but the whole thing is poorly made. From the start, I had an air bubble inside. The dial turns together with the markings, and while turning, without using force, the compass fell apart. It's definitely not even a toy, but rather a dummy compass.
-
Works flawlessly for me. I checked it in the woods, readings were correct, and using it reminded me of the military. The casing is quite sturdy. Small, practical gadget, even for kids. Recommend!
-
Very poor equipment, points everywhere except north regardless of positioning. Maybe I got a defective piece, but I don't recommend saving money on this kind of gear.
-
Compass bought locally. Even with the needle set correctly, it shows a different bearing each time. I know it costs less than 30 PLN and was for my 8-year-old son, but it should show the right direction. Maybe this was a faulty, demagnetized model.
-
Precise, quickly indicates directions and stays stable while walking. Thanks to the plastic housing, it's light. Excellent choice as a child's first solid compass – full satisfaction.
-
A really recommendable compass. Shows the right directions, is comfortable to use. Worth having in your backpack. I have to order another one for my son because he liked it so much and has already taken it from me.
-
After removing it from the metal case, the compass works properly. In the case, it almost didn’t catch the direction at all and sometimes showed opposite sides. The LED diode didn't work – the soldering stopped working.
-
The components are very durable. The price is attractive relative to build quality. I recommend buying, I am satisfied. Can't wait for the first field tests.
-
Very light and practical compass for basic navigation. Useful during trips or milsims. Easy to use, and the casing is actually made of metal, contrary to the description. I highly recommend it, the quality fully matches the price.
-
A bit slow — that's a fact. Not suitable for orienteering, but for basic forest kit or for youth learning to explore unplugged, it's definitely appropriate. Looks sturdy. Scale in miles — a curiosity for fans of American standards.
-
The “Expensiveless” compass—attractive price and durable casing guarantee safety of orientation in the field. It's not the smallest, but fully performs its function! Recommended—as a backup in a travel kit or EDC, it's excellent.
-
The compass points correctly, although it needs some time to stabilize, but for this price it's fine. The case seems solid, made of metal. Overall, it's worth recommending.
-
The device works and is well-designed. I bought it for my dear friend (8 years old :-)). Great gift for a boy. Perfect for mushroom picking enthusiasts. I recommend it.
