Pros: - Reasonably compact and light keychain with interesting features- Neat little bezel on the outside of compass- Have had it for more than five months and there are no bubbles in the compass liquid so far- Wind chill chart could come in handy someday ;)
Cons: - Uncertain about the accuracy of the thermometer- Thermometer isn't the easiest to read.- Build quality average; rough plastic edges on mine but the keychain attachment is of good quality.- Compass a bit slow and has to be perfectly flat
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Not a serious navigation/temperature device but better than nothing. At $1.75 you really have nothing to lose by buying it.
Pros: - Compass with a rotating scale- Thermometer with Celsius and Fahrenheit markings.- Wind chill factor table- Key-chain to tie to your keys!
Cons: - Thermometer takes some time to adjust, like other cheapish thermometers.- Compass needs to be balanced to show the direction which is not useful for navigation.- Build quality is cheap.
Other Thoughts: This can be a nice gift for a child. Let him try to balance the compass to make it show the right direction, or send him to stand in the cold for ten minutes till he realizes what the temperature really is. Don't rely on this for field navigation or anything serious.
Bottomline: Overall, it has many nice functions that can be useful for kids as their next toy.
Pros: -Its good value.-Its a nice idea to combine a compass with a thermometer.-The keyring feels quite strong for a cheap product-There is an adjustable dial around the compass for setting a bearing.
Cons: -I really would not want to depend on either the compass or the thermometer. The compass is unrealiable and has difficulty finding magnetic north. The thermometer is fairly accurate (give or take five degrees) - Consider it just as a novelty product.-The compass part arrived with a hairline crack in it, wasn't worth a support ticket.-The construction is cheap and basic. The compass is supeglued on and the thermometer is held in place by a piece of card at the back of the keyring.
Bottomline: At this price its worth it for its novely value, but don't expect it to be very useful.
Pros: I bought this for my nephew, who is 8 years old. He uses it to do experiments from a science book I gave him.The best part of buying this item is it is a three for one deal. Many of the experiments in his book requires a compass and a thermometer, so this worked well for my pocketbook. The key chain is a plus because he can take it with him and not lose it. He loves it.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: DealExtreme is a great on-line store for unusual, inexpensive products. The free shipping is a mega plus. Also, I like being able to pay for my goods through PayPal. This transaction was quick and easy. I was kept informed of my order's status and there was a follow-up e-mail from DealExtreme, which asked about my satisfaction and thanked me for my order, even though it was just this one, inexpensive item.
Bottomline: This is my first purchase and I am looking forward to purchasing more items from this company. Thanks-a-million DealExtreme.
