This is one of the basic and smaller Silva models, but it fully serves its purpose. Lightweight and compact design, accurate measurement thanks to declination correction, and very careful workmanship. Despite the high price, the compass is definitely worth buying for the long term.
-
An outstanding compass, made very solidly and quickly responds to changes in direction. It is precise in use and works great for both short and long trips. The product is definitely worth recommending and impresses with its quality.
-
Great compass for working with a map that has really wide applications. People who like traditional solutions will definitely appreciate that they don’t have to use a smartphone but can navigate classically on a map.
-
Very sensitive, solid, and compact compass. The needle reacts quickly. In the city, due to many sources of electromagnetic interference, it may give incorrect readings and you need to move away from them – which actually shows how sensitive it is. The quality is very high.
-
It correctly points north, and I haven’t noticed any problems indoors, unlike in other reviews. This is the cheapest 'brand name' compass – but remember, it's not a geological compass. For its price, it is definitely worth recommending.
-
The compass could be a little longer, because when determining the azimuth from one point to another, even if they are close to each other, you have to use a ruler for assistance.
-
Works correctly, you can buy it with confidence.
-
In the building, the compass indicates incorrect directions—probably due to many metal elements around. Interestingly, cheaper models did not have such problems. However, it shows correctly outdoors.
-
Very good quality workmanship. I recommend it to everyone.
-
Small, convenient, and precise compass – exactly what I needed.
-
A very high-quality product – it quickly and precisely shows north, even while walking. You only need to slow down for a moment and the compass stabilizes, so you know you haven’t deviated significantly from your set bearing. Using it helps you understand the price and appreciate the quality. I highly recommend it.
-

-
