Very well constructed.
Very nice land compass, metal case, precision built, all moving parts move smoothly, magnifier built in is clear and works perfectly. Includes an olive canvas-cloth like case that appears to be moisture resistant (not water proof), plus an olive colored lanyard attached to the compass. Glow in the dark bezel easily shows numbers.. Downside is that the lanyard has a loose knot on the end of it, it could use one of those gizmos that lets you shorten the loop. The instruction sheet has printing that is sooo small it takes a magnifier to read, and it needs a better english translation. If you don’t know how to use this type of compass, suggest you get better instructions online somewhere else.Overall, great product for the price.

Nice compass but a few issues.
As a former Land Surveyor I find that this compass is loaded with features that would make it a pro level tool, if not for the extremely poor quality control in their production. The one I received is loaded with as many flaws as it has features.1) Sighting blades are a really handy feature for precision navigation when sighting a bearing, unfortunately this one’s front sight blade is far too short and it sits below the bezel where it can not be seen during sighting procedures.2) The D-ring when folded out, interferes with the hinge to the point of preventing it from being move far enough out of the way to allow the compass to sit flat on any smooth surface.3 & 4) The bubble level is not accurate nor is it calibrated to the direction dial. With the bubble centered in the ring, the direction dial is canted to one side. The dial being canted can cause inaccurate readings if it drags the inner surface of the enclosure. Either way, if you keep the dial somewhat level or evenly spaced in the enclosure, the bubble level is severely off, or vice versa. Placing the compass atop a precision machinist’s level and centering the bubbles on it, the compass’ level settles out at about the 10 O-clock position. And again the dial is canted high at the 210 degree mark as well. Not sure if the added weight of the iridescent paint is causing the dial to cant low on the north side or they failed to properly balance the dial when installing the center needle cup, but either way something there is not right.5) The little red marker on the outer ring which should be aligned with the front sight groove is (or was) about 2 degrees left of center. I did manage to remove the bezel without breaking anything and got the marker properly centered, although there isn’t much room for adjustment.In spite of the quirts, flaws and/or assembly errors, I’m still rating this with 4 stars out of the off chance that I got a bad pick of the litter, and hopefully the one you get will be far better. After all, the features that this compass is loaded with, still make it a worthy purchase for the low low cost. It may not be a survey precise instrument but it is still decent enough to allow one to navigate 10 or 20 miles and still be within 500 yards of the intended destination.

A lot more than I expected
I've own different compasses in my life but this one's actually really decent and I couldn't believe how heavy it was I thought it was just going to be cheap plastic It's not It's good and you should buy one

Decent compass, great value!
This zinc-alloy cased compass is probably more compass than I'll ever need. I got it more as a precaution than anything else. I just needed something for emergencies, just incase I go off the trail by accident. So as a beginner, this provides for my basic needs at a great price. The case is sturdy zinc alloy. The dial rotates but does not click into place as with higher end compasses. It also does not have the flip-up sighting lens that the more expensive compasses have. The "sighting lens" in this compass is in the base. This compass can be mounted on a tripod and comes with a nylon lanyard and belt-worn water-resistant nylon carrying case. Overall, it is plenty good enough for basic needs and a great way for beginners to understand how to use a compass without spending a lot of money!

Solid compass
What can I say, it's a good compass and works well. It comes with a neat little pouch and a great addition to my hiking bag.

Works well enough
This is a review for Hiking Compass for Survival with– Waterproof Durable and Pocket-SizedTactical Survival Compass with Lanyard & Pouch for Expedition Map Reading, NavigationThe materials in this compass feel durable enough to be used outside. This compass also seems to be relatively accurate, although I am sure you could find ones that are a lot more accurate, this one should get you close enough to where you need to be. For less than 10 bucks, it is accurate enough, and has plenty of features, most of which I still need to figure out.Overall, I am happy with this item.

Ultimately this compass does what it needs to do
I needed an extra compass to build out a small day bag. This particular compass does everything it needs to do. It's accurate when compared to my other compasses. Overall I like the features but I find the heading dial to be a little loose for my preference. It easily adjusts which is fine, but it doesn't really stay either.The case is bulky and way to big for the size of the compass.
