Suunto A-10 kompass

Finnish company SUUNTO is best known for its GPS fitness watches, but it also makes excellent analog navigation devices. The SUUNTO A-10 NH ($24) is far from the brand’s top-shelf compasses, but for the vast majority of users, this compass does everything they need at a great price.

The compass has small letters and numbers, and i'm very nearsighted. I was disappointed. I can't hold it at waist level and read it very well.

Worked great for an orienteering course I had to take!

I’m a truck driver so I use the compass almost all the time (that way I don’t get lost).

Purchased yesterday and didn't think I would need to verify that it would actually point somewhere close to North. I have a Field Survey GPS unit but sometimes just need to have a verified direction and a compass works without having to fire up a system and deal with that mess. Sadly, the compass I purchased points 120° off North (East-by-Southeast) which shouldn't ever be an issue with a quality magnetic compass
