An interesting and large compass, it goes well with a watch and can be worn on the wrist over a uniform or directly on the watch strap. The compass strap is 21 mm wide, but it can also be attached to a 22 mm wide strap. I can honestly recommend it.
Helikon-Tex T25 wrist compass
A compass is an essential item for any survival kit, particularly when trekking through unknown landscapes. Fastened to the wrist, it provides immediate access to navigation. This version includes a phosphorescent dial that stays readable even in low light. The robust nylon strap with a hook-and-loop fastener keeps the device firmly attached to your wrist.
Rotating bezel, lens, and 360-degree scale
The dial is crafted from a lightweight, durable material with excellent water resistance. Enclosed in a container filled with non-freezing liquid, it ensures the mechanism operates smoothly. The protective glass features a lens for precise reading. Completing the design are a rotating bezel and a comprehensive 360° scale.

The compass would be very good and completely sufficient, but the strap is too small for me. The compass is not a luxury model, but it is well built and sturdy for experienced users. Everyone has a main compass, and this is the one that's not in the backpack, but on your person.
-
The compass works well and is solidly made with high-quality materials. It fits a wrist with a circumference of 21 cm, but you can also easily attach it to a backpack or in another way. It is currently available at an attractive price, so it's worth considering the purchase. I definitely recommend it.
-
Good morning, this is a practical and convenient compass with a rotating dial that allows you to determine the chosen direction. It will certainly be useful for people walking in the forest.
-
The compass will not work very well during fast marching when you need to determine direction instantly, as it always needs a moment to indicate north. However, if time does not matter, it will be very good.
-
A cool, inexpensive gadget worth having with you when electronics fail. Although nothing extraordinary, it helps you get your bearings in the field. I have one in my backpack, but I'll probably buy a second to have on my bike.
-
Right away I'll say that it's not suitable for precise direction finding when marching, but as a backup compass it's a great solution. Unfortunately, aligning with north takes quite a lot of time—looking at this watch is as time-consuming as pulling a good classic compass from your pocket. However, as an additional option for rough orientation it works great.
-
Sleek and practical wrist compass. You don't have to pull anything out or look for it – just glance at it like a watch. Just a little thing, but brings a lot of joy.
-
It looks a bit like a toy, but it works efficiently and reacts to north very quickly. The wide scale swing means you don't have to level it perfectly – very convenient when running.
-
The compass is easy to read, the needle works well, the strap holds well – but it fits a small wrist. Very good as an additional piece of equipment for quick direction checks, especially when there's no time for analysis.
-
Very positive surprise. Small, plastic, but very strong and solid device. It quickly finds the azimuth, is accurate and easy to read. I didn't expect such quality. I bought it without much expectation, and it's a real gem—durable and solid product.
-
Fantastic compass—small, precise, and the needle reacts so quickly you can even run. Plus, the lume is great and glows for a long time after being exposed to light. Excellent for trips or as a gift.
-
The Helikon T25 wrist compass is a small and sleek model. Works well as an accessory in addition to the main compass. The downside is the rather short strap. It shows north correctly.
-
Up close, it resembles a toy a bit, but it is effective. The dial aligns quickly, and the plastic casing, surprisingly, does not scratch easily. Sufficient for tourism and quick orientation in the field. Additionally, NATO-style 18mm straps fit, so you can nicely match it to your favorite watch strap.
-
Nice wrist compass, although the strap could be a bit longer. Shows the right direction, is small, light, and at a good price. Tactically useful for any gear kit.
