    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 store 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 due to its small size, it's easy to lose. Effectively shows directions, tested in various situations.

    The compass does its job well and shows the directions correctly. The small version is extremely tiny, it’s about the size of a shirt button. This may make it easy to lose when using it outdoors. I think it would be worth considering adding an element, like a loop, which would allow you to attach the compass to a belt or pocket using a mini cord – this would eliminate the problem of losing it. Currently, you need to watch it closely and it’s best to keep it in zipped pockets. Other than that, everything is fine, I recommend this product!

    The compass is very easy to read – in my opinion, the “Large” size is the perfect compromise between handiness and ease of reading the directions. The needle remains stable. It's a pity it doesn’t come with any strap or clip, which would make it easier to attach securely to a button or belt loop on your pants. Because of this, I constantly feel it’s easy to lose. Of course, you can try gluing it on, but in tough conditions the glue may not hold. If the manufacturer added some simple mounting solution, I would rate the product 5/5.

    The compass is smaller than I imagined, but it works. It really glows in the dark, although you won't really need it at night. It's suitable for cloudy weather, and on a sunny day, the sun and a watch will be enough to find the direction.

    The compact size lets you take it anywhere, but that also makes it easy to lose. If you have holey pockets, better choose something bigger.

    Just like in the picture, a very tiny little 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's no minimalist way to attach it to a lanyard or something similar... I recommend it!

    Amazing compass for EDC, it fits anywhere so you can always have it on hand, for example in a zippered pocket. After comparing it with a military compass, there's no noticeable difference in needle deviation.

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

    A cute, tiny compass is a nice option for a small gift for outdoor or hiking enthusiasts. You can give it to someone as a joke, for example, instead of a toy from a Kinder Surprise ;-)

    A very nice and solid emergency compass. As others have mentioned, it is very small (even in the Large version), so it fits anywhere. For such a small thing, it seems really durable.
