I purchased this compact watch compass and I am very satisfied with this decision — it’s a practical and simple gadget that can be useful both for everyday use and during short trips or hikes. The compass is characterized by its small size and light weight, and its construction allows you to attach it to a watch strap (up to 20mm wide) or another band or bracelet, so you can always have it with you. The readings are generally sufficiently accurate — after a short moment the needle accurately shows north and the other directions, which I confirmed by comparing with a larger compass and GPS. However, you should keep in mind that this is a small device made from simple materials, which makes it work a bit slower than larger models and it may not be perfectly precise in difficult conditions. It’s also worth remembering that, like any small compass, it can be sensitive to the presence of electronics — it’s better to avoid using it near a phone or large metal objects. Despite these minor flaws, the biggest advantage is the excellent price-to-quality ratio — for a low amount you get a useful accessory, handy for navigation or simply as an interesting watch decoration. It’s an excellent choice if you want to have a compass always at hand, without spending much on professional gear.
A button compass designed to be attached to the strap of a watch. The dial with graduation of world directions is embedded in a sealed case made of durable plastic. Mounting on the strap is made possible by a loop located on the back of the compass.

This is already my next time shopping at Militaria.pl and once again I am satisfied with both the store's service and the product itself. The description matches reality, I definitely recommend it!
-
I assembled it according to the instructions in the video. The little compass fits perfectly with the G-Shock GBD 200. A small compass is always useful. It's solidly made and does its job. Lightning-fast shipping as always from militaria.pl. I recommend it, especially now that it's on sale.
-
The compass works flawlessly, which is crucial for me. It's small and can be attached in many ways so you can always have it with you. This is exactly the equipment I needed. I ordered two pieces because there was a promotion at the time. As usual, fast shipping from militaria.pl.

Despite its small size, the compass works properly. But it really should be kept away from your phone, as that interferes with the readings. Aside from that, everything’s fine and the price matches the quality.
-
Low price, and the compass works really well. Sometimes it needs a moment to set the direction, and there can be interference near electronics, but in general it points north quite precisely (tested with another compass and GPS). Ideal for straps 20 mm wide. I have not tested larger ones.
-
Great compass worth having – it fits well on the watch. As for the readings, they are very close to a large Silva compass. It’s good for quickly determining direction and making corrections; for more detailed measurements, other equipment would be better. I recommend it.

The previous reviewers have already described everything – this is a great product, it's worth buying a few pieces, especially if you’re slightly short of the free shipping threshold. As for mounting it on a watch strap – I believe it fits very well, although on my G-Shock GBD-200 it doesn't fit perfectly because the strap widens at the case and you can't get it closer to the case. But that's an issue with the watch, not this compass.
-
It's a simple compass that can come in handy during outdoor trips. Unfortunately, the strap on my watch is too wide, so I won't be able to mount the compass on it—I’ll hang it on a string. Still, it's a practical gadget, definitely better than a typical button compass due to its size.
-
Product as described. The compass is great – small, lightweight, fits on a watch strap loop. The readings are very close to a large Silva compass. Perfect for quick direction finding and minor corrections; for precision, other equipment should be used. I recommend it.
-
Elegant gadget for your watch or bracelet, also good for unforeseen circumstances – it's always worth having a compass at hand. It’s better to have several so you don’t get lost in the field. I recommend it!
-
A regular button compass. I compared it to a decent compass and it shows the correct direction. It doesn't fit on my gt3 pro strap, I've already checked. Honestly, I just bought it, I’ll throw it into my backpack and will probably forget about it. Maybe in an emergency it’ll come in handy and I’ll be grateful. If you’re missing something for free shipping, toss it in your cart. Small gadget, might turn out useful.
-
Really cool compass. I’ve been using it for a while and so far it works flawlessly. I compared it with a larger compass and it shows just as well. It can be mounted on any standard watch strap, so it’s always at hand. Very practical, and the low price only adds to its appeal. Definitely worth it!
