Delivered as advertised, perfect for my needs.

Some good features (based on Suunto MC-2 NH) but none of them really work as they are supposed to.Its a mirror compass, so its supposed to stay open at 45 degrees so you can sight. It doesn't, the hinge is floppy so you need to hold the mirror open to use.The capsule dial should rotate fairly freely with a pleasing action but stay where you put it. It doesn't, its VERY stiff in parts and feels like it will very soon be too loose in other parts of the rotation.Its supposed to light up in the dark so you can still see your bearing in the dark. It lights up enough to say it does on the description, just not bright enough to actually use, unless you are walking in total darkness where you can't even see your own feet! Not enough luminous paint.The lanyard is the cheapest piece of fraying rubbish I ever saw, another 2 cents would have made it perfectly acceptable!It's a pity, the compass does have some good features. The adjustable declination works well, or at least it does if you can work out how to use it. There are no instructions. Similar mechanism to the Suunto MC2.The compass does just about function, but it doesn't give you any confidence that it will continue to do so, nor does it give you any of that feeling of operating a precision instrument that you normally get from a compass.Does it feel like £22 worth? No. If it was £10 I'd probably have kept it and modified it work acceptably. Returning it today.

Bezel was stiff and broke within 24 hours on a geology field trip. Very poorly manufactured.
