bayite Hard Shell Liquid Filled Button Compass Set for Survival Watch Band Paracord Bracelet Pack of 10

Note I use these for Paracord projects and yes me and others I know have actually used these before out at night or in one friends case even during the day (he's directionally challenged let's just say). That said these are good little cheap compasses useful for Paracord projects. Bracelets, keychains, zipper pulls etc. I've boughten several packs now over a few years and they surprisingly hold up well for these uses in typical everyday life. A friend of mine is even a forest firefighter and his keychain one I made him lasted him most of the fire season before it broke. Are they generally accurate and good enough for a general heading? Definitely useful for exactly that. Are they the most accurate? No. Good for orienteering or long range wilderness navigation such as rangers or scouts in the military do? Absolutely NOT. There is no dial and degrees to plot points needed to navigate by compass over long distances with precise accuracy of direction. (Note I used to do orienteering for fun when I was younger. So I still kinda remember the basics of precise land navigation.) Again good for GENERAL heading and orientation to orient oneself if you're completely baffled for some reason and need to know where North is in order to orient yourself. Will need a light source however as they do not glow in the dark. So as a backup compass you could keep one you at all times like I do or my friends who have similar Paracord keychains I've made it works great for that purpose. As a general heading compass to be used as a backup IF needed. Honestly more than anything they are primarily ascetic for me, my friends, and family more than function though again we have used them at times respectively. As for durability? Don't hit them and they'll be fine. Make the compass, not the bracelet or keychains or whatever it's attached to, flat and it should work as long as they aren't cracked or the housing shoved inside and crushing the inside.

Product arrived exactly as promised. You receive ten (10) small compasses sitting in a plastic box with compartments for each compass. The packaging is very good as is the quality of the compasses themselves. These fit perfectly on the watch band of my Casio G-Shock. I would suspect that these will easily fit almost all regular watch bands with no trouble. All ten (10) compasses are fully functional and I have spot checked four (4) of them against a good quality hiking compass. These perform perfect for what they are, a small, simple compass to wear or attach to any gear straps, or for use in making wrist bracelets with a compass. There is even a simple instructional card that explains the difference between "true" North and "magnetic" North for anyone not familiar. My guess is that most anyone that orders these for use on their watch or gear will certainly already know this information. Still it is a great add-on for anyone that might not be aware of the differences. As I utilize these across my assorted bug-out bags, EDC bag, watches, etc, I will certainly have all confidence in re-ordering this product.

These are.. OK. I knew for the price these wouldn't be remarkable. The accuracy SEEMS ok, maybe off a touch, but good enough for my use. I got them for mountain biking and to give out to a few friends I ride with. Since NOT ALL of them worked too well I at least had 6 or 7 that worked good enough. When you're on the trails and especially in the woods (with several trails to choose from) it's easy to get disoriented. With a compass on your bars you can better know which direction the trail is headed when you're at a fork on the path. If more of them worked at least as good as the better functioning ones I'd feel they deserve 4 stars, but too many got hung-up and weren't enough to trust for accuracy. They STILL DO work so it was a good value for cheap money, but I'll be investing in a little bit better compass for my Stumpjumper! ~JSV

The package came in with 10 compass sitting inside a plastic box. All 10 units are working and they are all pointing north !! Compared to my 20 year old shell compass (which is no longer pointing north), they all seem to be decent quality. Dressed some of them up with some mini paracord as shown in the photo :)
