## Description

Review: Sighting Watch! - I’ve been a life long diver, and this sighting watch comes in very handy when you’re doing your new favorite hobby. Plus it’s an accurate tree, affordable, and durable alternative to the 1k dollar diving watches out there. Size runs like normal watch. The compass seems to be right on and accurate!
Review: Very nice smoothe movement. - This is a very nice little wist compass. I need a compass for flying my Paramotor. Its precision is about 10 degrees (+-5degrees) which is as good as it gets for something on your wrist while you are actively moving. The movement itself is excellent. Very smooth and does not hang up. The diameter of the sealed movement is 35mm. It weighs 24.5 Grams. The attachment for the wrist strap is solid unlike another in this price range which uses spring pins which I can envision letting go if the compass is snagged hard enough and then watching fall to the ground 700 feet below. It has a sighting window on the edge with 5 degree markings which are hard to use for my old eyes. Mostly because the 10 degree increment marks are barely discernible from the 5 degree marks. This edge sighting window is "foggy" unlike the sellers photo. That being said, the top viewed compass is excellent. Because this is so light weight and inexpensive, this makes an excellent replacement for those cheap and questionable mini compasses they put in survival kits. In spite of the foggy edge sighting window, I still give this 5 stars because the movement is just as good as any high quality compass. Update: I purchased a Suunto M-9 wrist compass because of the clearly bold numbers and markings which are easier to see. The Suunto must be perfectly level for the compass card to spin. The Suunto is unacceptable for a wrist compass. Thankfully desertcart took it back and gave me a prompt refund.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the dots in the picture tritium, or do you have to shine a flashlight at it to make them glow?**
A: The dots are not tritium, they must be glowed with light.

**Q: Will using your cell phone while wearing this, only alter the functionality for the time that you're close to the compass? Or, will it be destroyed**
A: I have a Samsung A50 in a rubber protective case. In my experience even with the phone a few inches away my compass still pointed north.  I didn't surf the web or make any calls at the time though. But in theory, if your phone did have a magnetic field that made the compass malfunction, moving the phone further away should correct the problem. It should not be permanent.

**Q: Does this compass normally come with "foggy" sidewalls, or did i (and "jth" (see his or her 18 jan 2019 comment)) receive a defective unit?**
A: I don’t know what foggy sidewalls would mean, but I use this compass for hiking and it is clear and accurate, and has a very nice wristband.

**Q: Is the band width 26 mm**
A: The width of the band is 20 mm.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great alternative to a sighting compass, but could be improved
*by T***R on April 21, 2019*

I gave this a 4, but I really like the concept of this wrist compass. It works like this. You hold the compass at eye level, and then turn your body until the bearing you want appears in an index window on the edge of the compass. There are two white dots on the opposite end of the bearing you just aligned so you can pick a point to sight and approach along your bearing path. The disadvantage of this wrist compass is that you can't line up any orienting lines with a map due to its non-transparent bottom. The fact that the compass is mounted on your wrist also contributes to this problem. But it seems to be more accurate than a regular compass if you already know your bearing. This is because you sight it at eye level. For example, you might take a bearing from a map and then transfer it to the watch. Another advantage is that it leaves your hands free. I found this compass was useful primarily for orienting myself toward North so I could then orient my orienteering map properly. It was quick and reliable -- I was able to get oriented before my team could with their Silva-style, transparent base compasses they had around their neck or wrapped around their wrists with the lanyard attached to the compass. This wrist compass was also useful if someone on the team had already taken a bearing that I trusted. I could then simply raise my wrist to eye-level, and then move my body until the bearing they had taken appeared in the index window on the edge of the wrist compass, in my line of sight. Then I could find a landscape object and head for it. One part of the compass still makes no sense to me. The clear plastic window that holds the fluid and the guts of the compass can be rotated -- there is a very thin orienting arrow on its face that you can turn to different positions. But it's independent of the needle and the disk upon which the degrees are located. It basically serves no purpose, based on my current understanding of orienteering. And I do know how to use a regular Silva-style, transparent base compass. In spite of the advantages, the product could be improved a few ways. First, the compass portion is rather small. I am a small person and I think there is room on my wrist surface area to support a bigger compass so you can see it better. I have to wear glasses to see the bearings too, which is a bit annoying. Finally, the bearings you read in the index window are only numbers. It would have been better if they put N at 0 degrees, E at 90 degrees, S at 180 degress and W at 270 degrees so you don't have to convert N, E, S and W to degrees when looking for these directions. This is relatively minor, and probably due to the fact the compass is so small. I did pick up the degree-direction relationship pretty fast as you are simply take quarters of the 360% circumference of the circle to find these directions. The compass provides those markings, along with SE, NE etcetera, but you lose the fine, numbered bearing markings. PIck your druthers :) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MUVOS5V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 One thing, don't be fooled by the white dots where you take your sighting on the face of the compass housing. I thought they were luminous but they aren't luminous. The dots are there to improve your ability to see where the compass is pointing after you read the bearing in the index window in normal light. However, I still think it's a great wrist compass. It's great for taking a fast bearing of North, for example, without whipping out your compass from around your neck or backpack. I also met with an experienced orienteer recently, and he told me he rarely takes a bearing -- he uses the map and contour lines in order to find various controls on orienteering courses. So, if his experience is typical of other experienced orienteers, you should be able to get by with this wrist compass in the majority of situations where you don't have to get a bearing off the map. I love orienteering, so carrying more than one compass isn't a big deal for me anyway; I like the compass acquisition process and the fun of owning multiple compasses. However, I would love to see them keep improving and developing this wrist compass by making it bigger and easier to read.
