Suunto Compass M-9 NH, Northern Hemisphere, With Velcro Wristband, SS004403001,Black

Ito great provided you understand it limits. Generally I find orienting myself to the terrain fairly easy, but this provides and excellent backup in case my GPS and main compass fail. Also it's quite good for getting a quick approximate bearing on the go.

Needle damps down quickly. Strap way too long.

Light, clear and functional, this is a useful compass to have on your wrist. Although not much use in conjunction with a map, it does serve when following a bearing over a distance in the wilds.

Brilliant piece of kit use it for work within the military!

Replace the velcro strap, perhaps with one from an old G1098 watch & this is perfect. Easy to use, clear as a bell, luminous by night, what's not to like? I've added a little whiting to the aiming point on the bezel, just to make things easier in low-light. This is handy on the wrist or would be easy to attach to a bergen shoulder strap for quick reference too. All in all, I give this 10 out 10... just as we should expect from Suunto

Good little compass.

Ok so you can see this is described as for northern hemisphere ye clearly isn’t. Ok maybe that’s a mistake. The compass sticks if tilted or not flat level. The exact same compass is available from some cheap ropey brand on amazon. The wrist strap is ok but hardly Suunto quality as expected. Do not waste your money, really dont

Well, it does do the job but it's a lot smaller than I was expecting (it's only 37mm diamater across the bezel) so it lost a point for that because this smallness seemed needless. It could still have looked perfectly ok and not to chunky but then be easier to read and look better if it was more like a modern large watch (nearer 45mm). I knocked off another star because the velcro strap feels terribly cheap, thin, and nasty. They could have provided a better quality bit of velcro. So 2 starts knocked off but it does of course still do it's fundamental job well. It rotates freely but only when totally flat, as you'd expect.

コンパスの正確さ、軽さ、また頑丈に出来ています。最大の特徴は、蓄光発光による夜での視認性、また、 腕時計方式で着装、バンドの使用方式により、リュック、腰ベルト等、どこでも、手軽に取り付け出来、手軽に何時でも、コンパス確認が出来る、アウトドア最適用品だと感じています。

Well made handy back up to my main n compass or good for a quick glance

Es una brújula muy útil para navegación, por tenerla siempre disponible sin ocupar las manos. Suelo usar otra brújula de mano para estudiar el mapa y definir mi azimut, y esta Suunto para navegar. Su sistema es de fácil lectura y precisa para definir el rumbo. Solo debes practicar un ratillo antes de meterte en la jungla con ella. :P El único punto negativo es la correa... no me gusta para nada. Pero por lo menos es segura y estable, y no es tan mala a punto de quitarle una estrellita.

Great product. Convenient wrist wear and super light weight. Very luminous card. Easily works well with a map. The Velcro strap might want to be reconsiderd. I've replaced the Velcro strap with a Nato strap.

L'indication de l'azimut, même à seulement 5 degrés près, est rendue très pratique par la fenêtre et les encoches de visée. Allier une bonne boussole et la fonctionnalité d'un compas c'est très bien pensé. Mais attention néanmoins à un léger effet "de grippage": sur certains angles (deux angles sur le miens) il a tendance à rester un peu coincé et il faudra donc se tourner dans un sens puis l'autre tout en faisant varier l'inclinaison du bras pour obtenir un azimut sûr...
