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.

This is a fantastic little compass! Wear it on your wrist, with the handy velcro strip. It's of durable, water-resistant plastic, and lightweight. Using this compass to get your bearings is easy, and a snap! View the compass card from the top, and your "route-of-march" using the incorporated window. It's small, and unobtrusive. The card floats in a damping fluid. For a magnetic based compass this one is a good bet for the price!

In a week, I have the most important ultra-trail race of the year on my calendar, 110 kilometers (70 miles). I wanted to supplement the GPS navigation on my Garmin watch with non-electronic ground navigation, so I would be using two compasses and two waypoints. I did detailed research and chose the best wrist compasses I could find: the Suunto M-9. When the package arrived, I was very happy, but as soon as I opened the padded cardboard bag from Amazon, I discovered that something was wrong. I didn't even have to open the individual compass boxes; it was clear that one worked freely and the other was stuck, not moving at all, only a couple of degrees at most. I hope this was an error by Suunto's Quality Control Department, firstly, and then an unfortunate second error by the seller in packing and shipping it without noticing the defect. Fortunately, the second Suunto M-9 compass works very well. I must say, it impressed me from the first moment: The packaging is very nice; upon opening the box, you can tell it's a quality product from a solid, reputable company. The compass and mount are made of plastic, very lightweight, excellent for trail runners who want to minimize the weight they carry. Regarding its performance, it's adequate. I was able to test it against another pair of compasses from a different brand, as you can see in the photos, and it's quite accurate. It's clear that a wrist compass isn't a precision tool; if you need a more precise compass, there are other options—larger, heavier, and requiring manual operation, not with the ease and simplicity of a wrist compass. I'm satisfied with the accuracy of the Suunto M-9; it was exactly what I was looking for. While not bulky, the Suunto M-9 compass is large enough to be clearly visible and avoid confusing the user. I took a picture of the compass on my wrist next to my enormous 51mm Garmin Enduro 3 watch, just as I'll be using them during the ultratrail race. This photo shows that even though the compass and watch are very close together, the compass's functionality isn't affected; the north reading remains accurate. As you can see in the photos, I haven't used the original Velcro straps. Instead, I bought some BARTON NATO-style straps from Amazon. They are a standard 10 inches long and 18mm wide, made of very soft canvas—a good option if you don't want to use the Velcro strap. I bought this 18mm wide canvas strap because I wanted to use two compasses on my wrist for land navigation: a Suunto M-9 on the outside of my wrist, like a watch, and a second compass at a 90-degree angle to the first, aligned with my thumb. The purpose of these two compasses was to facilitate navigation on the ground. The larger Suunto M-9 would always provide the primary navigation, but if I had to run with trekking poles, it would be much easier to use the smaller compass aligned with my thumb for navigation, without having to raise my arm to check my wrist. I'm explaining all this so you don't do it; it's a bad idea. The Suunto compass has a stronger magnetism and interferes with the smaller compass when they are close together, within 10 centimeters. The reflective material on the Suunto M-9 isn't good. I tried to take the best picture, but the compass itself isn't very clear; it's blurry and confusing. You should consider whether this is an important feature for you. This isn't a problem for a trail runner, since ultrarunners wear a headlamp at night, which illuminates the direction they're looking. I hope this review helps other future buyers. The compass deserves a five-star rating, and the Suunto brand deserves the same rating as well. However, I had to point out the mistake made with my order, so I'm giving it four stars.

Good little wrist compass. The compass fits my Ranger band watch cover with protective over flap. The compass is good for quick movements in a specific direction. For land navigation for a long distance I would prefer to use a Military Lens-etic compass or a base plate compass like the Suunto MC 2. This compass is very sensitive to metal or other electronic devices. If you place it next to your watch it will give you a bad reading. If your carrying a weapon or standing next to a metal structure it will give you a wrong reading. This compass is just to get you pointed in the right direction until you can pull out your actual compass that you normally navigate with. It is a convenient way to start going in the right direction for short distances. It has a compass card with triangle that points to magnetic north. It has a rotating capsule for setting direction to target. It has a bearing index for reading numerical bearing from compass card. It has orienting indicators for aligning with cardinal directions to find direction to target. It has a notch and window for precise sighting of an object. It does not have a way to change declination. You have to do that in your head mathematically or by using your paper map and orientating the map to its declination. I do recommend this little wrist compass for EDC. Ensure you get the compass for your hemisphere.

Perfect weight and size. I used a nato strap for the band instead of the poopy one it came with. Love these things. Take care of it and it’ll last a lifetime

Nice compass, good price. I have 2 for general outdoor navigation. I'm neither a pro or an amateur navigator (probably better than the average guy). I don't claim to be the end-all of compass knowledge, but I do know a good compass when I have one. When compared side by side with my Cammenga 3HJP compass, these were dead on at the 5 degree intervals! Due to size of the compass face (about the size of a 50-cent piece) the degrees are marked in intervals of 5 (small dot), 10 (larger dot), and 30 (numeric). I have used it on a compass course and did better than many with lensatic compasses. I wouldn't want to do night time navigation or an underwater course in less than optimum clear water, but daytime navigation would be fine over 1-2 miles with this. Anything further and I'd want my Compass marked in 1 degree increments. I highly recommend buying an aftermarket wristband such as my preferred "Voguestrap TX70345CA" for wrist comfort and lens protection. I found the one that comes with it to be a bit "scratchy" if worn all day or multiple days, and offers no protection to the face of the compass. If you are looking for for just a N-S/E-W compass get something cheap. If you are looking for a decent back-up for navigation this thing is a beauty. Due to its size its only marked in 5 degree increments, but with a steady hand and decent eyesight you can narrow it down to 2.5 degrees (space between the dots). For those that don't know, 1 degree off-course over the distance of ONE mile is approx. 92 feet, so 2.5 degrees off is about 225 feet. With all that being said, this IS NOT a primary compass for a beginner. In a life/death situation or search situation this is only a BACK-UP compass. Get a GOOD (usually meaning $75+) compass with 1 degree markings.

The wristband is cheap and flimsy. I doubt it will hold up to steady outdoor use especially if you’re sweating and going through brush. The compass itself requires you to be extremely still or it will not ‘settle’. Not reliable if you’re a wilderness trekker.

I have owned the Suunto M-9 before, but lost it on an adventure. It had always performed flawlessly: very steady & accurate North indicating needle/card; long-lasting, highly visible glow-in-the-dark illumination; convenient, intuitive side/edge reading bearings; solid but easily adjusted lubber line; and not too bulky (the size of a medium watch) and very light weight. I live & work on a charter boat. I wear the Suunto 24/7 on my right wrist, just as I wear my watch on my left, so I ALWAYS know where I am. Three short-comings: 1. the band is a long Velcro strap, my last one wore out quickly and I had to replace it with nylon. This one looks like it will need replacing in about 12 months of 24/7 use. 2. It does not have removable pins like a watch, so you do not have the flexibility of regular replacement bands, nor the safety of a "weak-link" to break if the compass is caught/snagged on something. And 3. The face is plastic, not glass so you must be very careful about scratches to the face. Fortunately, the plastic is pretty tough. I search extensively for a better compass prior to my purchase and could not find one. The Sunnto is great, even with its shortcomings.
