10 out of 10
Replace the velcro strap, perhaps with one from an old G1098 watch & this is perfect. Easy to use, clear as a bell, luminous by night, what's not to like? I've added a little whiting to the aiming point on the bezel, just to make things easier in low-light. This is handy on the wrist or would be easy to attach to a bergen shoulder strap for quick reference too. All in all, I give this 10 out 10... just as we should expect from Suunto

Excellent compass
Ito great provided you understand it limits. Generally I find orienting myself to the terrain fairly easy, but this provides and excellent backup in case my GPS and main compass fail. Also it's quite good for getting a quick approximate bearing on the go.

Good as a back up or for rough nav.
There is nothing inherently wrong with this compass. It reliably points north as you would expect from a SUUNTO product. I had to get used to the numbers being the wrong way round as I am used to using baseplate compasses but this makes the sighting feature handy, although not super accurate. It doesn’t feel amazingly robust, especially the wrist strap brackets. Perfect for a quick orientation but I would not want to rely on it as my only compass in the wild. Strap is OK on a naked wrist but not long enough to go over cold weather clothing.

Needle damps down quickly. Strap way too long.

Why is this NOT checked before dispatch?
More bubble than liquid! 👎

Works well but too small and cheap feeling velcro strap.
Well, it does do the job but it's a lot smaller than I was expecting (it's only 37mm diamater across the bezel) so it lost a point for that because this smallness seemed needless. It could still have looked perfectly ok and not to chunky but then be easier to read and look better if it was more like a modern large watch (nearer 45mm). I knocked off another star because the velcro strap feels terribly cheap, thin, and nasty. They could have provided a better quality bit of velcro. So 2 starts knocked off but it does of course still do it's fundamental job well. It rotates freely but only when totally flat, as you'd expect.

Cycling around your city?
Can fit over a thick jacket sleeve, or a bike's handlebar. Great for cycling around a city.
