ok this is good value at £9.99 but the postage cost for this is horrendous at £4.99 second class tracked.as I need reading glasses ,the compasses dial numbers could have larger numbers and maybe luminous features .but a universal compass needle that's very good. I am giving it 4 stars as of what i said earlier .I do recommend it for this price, as long as you don't have to do any night navigation
For a tenner, having this as an emergency compass is excellent value.
This compass worked fine, and I originally thought it was an excellent product for the price I paid. It took me a while to notice the error, it even made me question myself. East and West on this compass are reversed in the wrong position, this feels like a fairly fundamental flaw to me! It’s a shame because other than this it’s a great product. I thought it might be printing error on my compass, but looking at the product picture online it’s wrong there too!
