Good for daytime usage, but not at night w/o a flashlight. December 15, 2008
This is a fairly nice daytime compass, but don't plan on using it at night without a strong flashlight since the indicators are only marginally phosphorescent. They are not "florescent" (lights in an office) or "neon" (tubes in a sign) as described by some sellers. Other sellers say it has a "florescent (non-radioactive) needle for moonlight reading". I recently tested it under the nearest and brightest full moon of the year and the only way to read this otherwise fine compass at night is to have a flashlight. Hope this helps.
 Bang for the buck! December 4, 2008
I bought this as a backup to my Sunto. This is not your cheap discount sports store lensatic compass. The material quality is on par with products in the $100 range. There is no play in the hinge parts, and lens isn't just a cheap piece of plastic like I am used to seeing in other cheap compasses. This is a killer deal!

Don't think its of a great quality as anticipated.
You get what you pay for....
It's not super accurate either and looks fancy from the outside....

I'm not sure what the story is with the 5-star reviews listed here. Maybe they got a different product. I tested this out five times in the same spot while out hiking (got it out of my pocket, opened it up and leveled it to find magnetic north, then closed it and put it back in my pocket) and it pointed four slightly different directions. My old Silva clear plastic compass, on the other hand, pointed the same exact direction each time. To its credit, this compass was apparently correct on the two occasions when it agreed with itself.
In a survival situation, this compass would be better than not having one, but that's all I can say for it.
