Small Compass and Thermometer Keychain for Camping, Hiking, Backpacking, Survival Tool, Emergency Kit

Yes, I own 4 of these. I also own several Sunto, Silva and Bruntons.These are a very good value for the money. They are not for creating new maps or even following extremely exacting lines. They are inexpensive very lightweight hiking/camping/driving approaches that supplement your smart phones loss of GPS in some areas.I recommend learning basic orienteering, it is essential to using a compass without a map. Again, if you can carry a topographical map of the area you are hiking in along with a true mapping compass do so! However, if you understand direction finding and how essential a compass can be even in a desert with no trees, this is a solid buy.I purchased 4 to be able to match them against each other and see if they had major deviations from each other.I try to do this for every review. *multiple items*Here are the positives.1. Very light weight2. Includes thermometer *which is accurate*3. Accurate, each of mine were accurate. Not the easiest to read, but accurate.4. Quite durably built5. Again, easy to carry and have with you all the timeCons-1. not the easiest to read2. Must hold absolutely flat, or the needle gets hung up!Recommendation?Buy several.I've camped, backpacked, hiked and hunted on two continents and in every type of terrain available from South America through Canada and in between. I live in Arizona, close to major mining, lots of high mineral content in our local rocks! These work fine.Get a couple!

The compass dial (rose) is marked in 6 degree increments; its easy to read, and the see-through dial is great for aligning on map grid lines. After orienting the compass rose to True North, and checking the current declination of +15.2 degrees for our area in Oregon, the magnetic compass needle correctly points to 'magnetic' North at approx +15.2 degrees East. The thermometer is very small and does not work; it hasn't moved from 72F (as shown in pics) since taking it out of the box, regardless of being inside the house or outside in 40 degree weather. However, I bought this inexpensive compass for the convenience of a clip-on 'recreational' (non-critical direction finding) hiking compass... and it will work accurately enough for that.I would have given this compass 5 stars (for accuracy, value, and convenience) if the device did not have the thermometer. Since it has this faulty feature, I felt it appropriate to give the device a lower rating. In my opinion, the manufacturer would be wise to eliminate the thermometer and replace it with a simple and useful static rose indicating the cardinal directions. This would likely eliminate most of the negative feedback submitted about this handy little compass.

This thing is total garbage. The compass kept sticking so you wouldn't get an accurate read and the thermometer wouldn't drop below 60* even when it was well below freezing - stayed out overnight. The thermometer is also difficult to read since the print is so small and bubble keeps floating in the way. It's cheaply constructed and overall not even worth $6. Had to return it for a refund.

Cute compass.

Even though the numbers in the images in the description were clear, in actuality the numbers are so small,tiny, that it is not possible (for me) to read them even using glasses. Seemed useful but not for me. (Chose 3 stars only because necessary to choose something. Not really an actual rating.)

I bought these for my daughters friends for over the summer. This compass along with a backpack, journal, writing/drawing pens and a beach towel. I thought this would be an ideal purchase so that they may find their way home after their travels. A little corny but all around fun.

Simple easy to read, great product for the price. Fun to teach kids about directions and temperature as well. My boys have really enjoyed it. Fits well in my hands and theirs. The keychain is a hand addition to keep it from getting lost easily.

Product felt to light and cheap, the gage was not accurate, hard to read.

Diesen Kompass-Schlüsselanhänger kaufte ich damals als kleines Abschiedsgeschenk für einen Freund, der ein Auslandssemester machte. Unheimlich süß für den Schlüsselbund und funktionstauglich.

Keychain works great. Didn't give 5 stars because it is a little large and the plastic feels a bit cheap. Like I expect it to crack or break apart easily however it works for what my husband wanted it for (his snowmobile key) and was the only one I could find so I won't complain too much lol!

Not working at all, absolute useless

Temperature dial doesnt work stuck on 73 degrees. Could mpass seems to sort of working. I made a misteke by purchase this product.

Auch für den Preis hätte das Produkt länger als 1 Woche zusammenhalten sollen.Absolut keine Qualität! Zum Glück sollte es nur ein Gag bei einem Geschenk sein.Ansonsten wäre es eine absolute Enttäuschung.
