Was considering several compasses. Looked at more YouTube compass videos than any sane person should. Ended up learning a lot that I didn't know. And in that learning, I decided on this compass. Happy with my choice. Well made, beautiful design, a lot of advancements (look at the YouTube videos), you'll see. Great price. Works well with a map, covers declination nicely, incline angles, everything - and glows brightly in the dark. I just shine my 500 lumens flashlight on it for a few seconds and it jumps to attention. Love this thing. By the way, I went to almost every outdoor, hunting, fishing, gun, knife, camping, hiking, provisions store around here and all I could find was a little, cheap button compass. Perhaps I am the only human in my area who thinks they need a compass. But Amazon had a lot. Which explains why they're killing physical retail stores.
