Ok, for the price you can not expect much ... especially the compass has an all-metal housing. The trouble is that the magnetic needle is made far too thin and thus due to their low weight in the oil damping takes a long time until it is settled. Also the compass has to be absolutely kept in the balance, because the needle otherwise blocked. Similarly, the targeting of a cruise destination is possible only with difficulty while reading the marching compass number. I also recommend each customer to check the unit thoroughly with another Kompas or evening, aim at the North Star on his accuracy. One of the three compasses that I ordered was inaccurate. Here I have to but also the customer service Amazon praise that have the thing believed to call immediately, sent me a Erstazgerät and submitted the return papers via e-mail me. 1A - Service! All in all ... not complain! As entry-level model, the device is quite well suited.
