Tools and Hardware Reviews of SE Lensatic Compass
Customer Review: Caveat about an item detail
Summary: 4 Stars
I wish to issue a CAVEAT about this compass!
While it is in general a fine instrument, the one I received DID NOT have a luminous (aka glow-in-the-dark) dial or luminous cardinal points as the product description on Amazon claims. (The compass' box also makes this incorrect claim.) The ONLY luminous points were the two small dots at the top and bottom of the hairline.
So while it is indeed a good compass, don't buy it if you think you're getting a luminous dial and this is important to you. If not, please go ahead because it is otherwise a fine instrument!
(And as an aside, while this may be because I'm a relative novice at using this instrument, I originally thought the small magnifying lens was to improve the distant sighting view through the hairline. This is not in fact the case and can't happen because its focus is completely wrong for that: the small lens is in fact intended to point downward to magnify the compass dial while you're sighting the distant view. So this is no problem, just something that others may also initially misconstrue. <The diagram on the box does clarify this usage if one looks at it carefully, as I eventually did.>)

This compass is nice for the $5 I paid, but it probably would not hold up to anything extreme. I bought this for emergency only and don't have any real plans for it to be put to use, if anything it's close to junk, but who knows it may have a chance to prove itself. You could use it as a paper weight....Customer Review: Compass

Works great, I just wish the degrees and mils were in different colors (black and red). That would make it just that much easier to use. Otherwise, great product.Customer Review: Excellent compass
Summary: 5 Stars
It works and is excellent. I just moved to a new area and I never know where north or any general directions.
It was many features and stuff I do not know how to use and it comes with a little carrying case.
