Customer Reviews

Good for daytime usage, but not at night w/o a flashlight.
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.

Lensatic Military Marching Compass
This is a very fine training instrument. It also would fit well in in a basic survival kit. Nothing Fancy ,it has a declination adjustment ,a good bearing line ,the fluid dampening is also very good. It dose not have luminous markings on it so you have to use a flashlight with it in the dark. I would have no problem navigating with it and a good chart (map). The shipping cost more than the compass.

Lower quality than I expected
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.
