Pros: 1. The build quality is absolut fabulous. Its hard and the parts doesnt move. 2. The print is done with very good ink so you can se it clearly even in dark inviroment 3. The price is the best, you cant get any similar for this price
Cons: 1. The screen becomes scratchy very easily 2. The same is with fingerprints
Bottomline: For the price is a must Buy. Really recommend it. The glas gets fingerprints but i cant complain, for this price. It would have been nice if it the numbers were gloving in the night, but maybe we will se it in another product.
Pros: Low cost. No bubbles in liquid. Lightweight. Solid readings - no pendulum swings of the needle.
Cons: Note that this is actually a needle balanced compass, so the compass needle is balanced on a fulcrum needle. This is not a true floating needle compass. Thus, you have to get the compass level for the needle to swing to the correct reading.
Other Thoughts: Note: The RED needle points north on this compass which is standard for most of the world. I mention this because Japan (others?) are opposite with red to south.
Bottomline: This is a good compass, but not a great compass. For the price, it is VERY good. This is the kind of compass you can throw in your pocket, rely on it for good readings, and not cry about if you lose it. I plan to buy more of them as spares.
Pros: Very cheap.Fluid-filled, probably water.It works flawlessly.Less than $1.50.
Cons: The fluid filling is probably water.Magnetization is not very strong so it doesn't work well near some other gadgets, but works ok in the open.It doesn't glow in the dark.The casing doesn't look very strong, it seems like it can break and make it look like you wet your pants.
Other Thoughts: Pretty nice cheap compass you can carry anywhere and not lose orientation :)
Bottomline: Cheap and simple compass. It is fluid filled and works as expected. The casing doesn't look very strong, but then again, it is very cheap.
Pros: An overall great, basic compass. Fluid filled makes the reading nice and steady.I bought one like this at Wally's for about $5, and it's nearly identical quality. You can get 3 of them here for the same price.
Cons: They ship it with their inventory sticker right on the face of the compass, which is hard to remove. The back was completely bare, so I don't know why they did that.One of the 3 I ordered pointed backwards compared to the other two. But as long as you know which side points North, you're OK.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: If you're looking for a super cheap, fluid-filled compass that you won't cry if it gets lost, this is the one to get.
