bayiteHard 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 compasses are tiny. The face is about the size of a US nickel. They have a floating face instead of the needle: when you turn the face turns, so that north is always pointing north. My kids can read these more easily than those that use needles, where you have to rotate the compass to keep N under the red arrow. The compasses come in a clear plastic case, with a latching lid and ten compartments to securely store each compass.I wouldn't trust these with my life in the wilderness, but they are somewhat accurate enough for a child to get the hang of using a compass. My one complaint is that nearly half of these did not work at all, or required that you shake them to make the dial turn to the correct position. Out of the ten compasses we received, six of them would consistently turn to the proper facing, though slowly (5-10 seconds), three required shaking to turn correctly, and one seemed to be all over the map, even if you shook it.These are decent as a teaching aid to young kids, but there are some better offerings at Amazon that work much better.

I would actually give it a 4.5. One of the compasses had a bubble. All in all a good compass for the price.

They came in a nice case. All of them work just fine.

This was pretty awesome to receive and exactly what I wanted. I was looking for quick survival compasses for different types of applications and these were the ticket. They are compact and light and have a tab which comes around the back for threading paracord and/or some other type of survival cord through. Some people reviewed these as "toys", they are not. All 10 pointed to magnetic north as designed and came packaged securely in reusable plastic box. I can think of hundreds of uses for these from survival packs such as I am building to teaching survival classes and passing out to students. The compass pack comes with directions which are very simple for anyone to use and should be copied and a copy kept with each compass to inform someone in a survival situation about adjusting for declination of true north to magnetic north. I may order a second batch as I don't know if ten will be enough for what I want to do. For my use, I actually used these in conjunction with a heavier 750 type IV paracord I got here off Amazon through Tough Grid. It is tight to fit, but slid on nicely. I will also include these in survival tin packs. One thing to keep in mind is to protect them in your installation to damage. These are small and are liquid filled so if you smash them into something, they will break. All in all, I am very pleased and working with this vendor has been extraordinary.

I’m an old man and I’ve had small cheat “watch compasses before and I was hoping that at least 5, maybe even 3 would be of acceptable accuracy, but NONE are even close to being accurate, not one, and that really surprised me.0 for 10 , 🤦‍♂️, throw an old dog at least one good bone outta 10, every now and then.
