Allen CompanyUnisex's 487 Pocket Compass with Lid, Blaze Orange, One Size

looks good but doesn't work at all. north is in a different direction every time you use it. would not recommend. Save your money.

Inexpensive little compass with a nice sturdy lid, so we can throw it into a suitcase without fear of breakage. Easy to read, works great.

Very inexpensive compass, I bought this as an emergency backup toss in my ATVs and backpacks. To be honest for what it is I like it but if you're shopping for a decent day to day compass I would suggest paying a couple of more dollars and getting something better

Amazon is either one of the shadyest bunch of con artists online or some of the most incompetently ignorant. After months of navigating thousands of poorly-worded, or, at times, virtually blank product descriptions, i finally settled on what very few items i could afford. i am utterly not shocked that the item is not as it is described in the product details. It (compass) claims to have a luminous dial, which most of the Allen compasses feature. What this odd-looking model (WHICH IS NOT THE SAME ITEM FEATURED IN THE PICTURE!!!!) really has is a high visibility dial. A miniscule dot of luminous paint on the body where the N is offers no navigation aid in any light condition, so i don't even know what good it is intended to do. It neither illuminates the dial so you can see any of the cardinal points, nor does it allow youto see which way the needle is pointing. It is completely useless! There is a very big difference. High visibility is a good feature, but it is not luminous, and not worth the $5 they charged me. i mean to report this fraud to the appropriate Better Business Bureau(s), and the pertaining Attorneys General to investigate. i likely wouldn't have been so irate if this were the first such oversight. But the ink refills for the Fisher Space Pens i ordered in February were also woefully (and perhaps intentionally??) inadequately described. When i suggested my attention to detail would be a great asset to Amazon, finding and correcting the numerous inaccuracies i find every day i search amazon, the customer service representative assured me they had such a department to rectify these flaws. They must not work very hard. If you can afford to piss your money away on amazon, please disregard this admonition. However, if, like me, your money is very precious to you and cannot be wasted on scams and snake oil, PLEASE read every part of the pages of every item you are considering buying. Read all the print, customer reviews, and similar products. Make sure you cross reference with competitors' sites, (i OFTEN find lower prices) and also peruse the site of the manufacturer of the merchandise you want. Make sure it meets your expectations. Five dollars may not be alot to you, but to me it's a few days worth of food and toilet paper.Amazon wants your money, not your satisfaction.

Every time I use this compass it points different directions. I tried 2 of these units and both are defective.
