Product Description
Clipper L Micro Compass

Amazon.com Product Description
Hailing from Suunto's Micro series, the Clipper L micro compass attaches conveniently to a watch band or hand strap, making it an invaluable navigational tool for on-the-go users. More importantly, the Clipper's liquid-filled capsule, jewel bearing, and rotating dial are accurate and precise whether you're navigating on city streets or country roads. The compass even comes with a luminous bezel for low-light conditions. Plus, the compass--which measures a mere 1.2 by 0.94 inches (W x L)--takes up virtually no space in your pocket. So go small without sacrificing accuracy with the Clipper L.

5 out of 5 stars Superb   September 15, 2007

This fits nicely on my watchband. I have bought several of the Chinese "all in one" survival aids - compass, whistle, LED light, etc.. - and the compasses NEVER work. This is a VERY accurate 1" diameter compass. No, it is not a lensatic compass for orienteering, but it WILL tell you where north, south, east, and west are.....

The Suunto Clipper with luminous bezel is exceptional for what it is.

It is not intended as a primary navigational tool, but a backup and a way to check other tools. It is small enough to go mostly unnoticed on a watchstrap in the woods, but has luminous bezel and markings, and a rotating bezel. It is marked every 10 degrees and has clicks on the bezel every 7 1/2 degrees. With most of the features of a full sized compass and accuracy comparable or better than many larger compasses, this is an outstanding watchstrap compass. It is durable, still performing well after riding in a pocket full of keys and change and being beaten about on ones wrist.

Overall: the best of its type! If you want a better compass, you'll have to get a bigger compass.

5 out of 5 stars It works well but...   August 19, 2008

I bought it to add it to my watch band but it doesn't fit. My watch band is titanium and is somewhat thick. So I can't blame Suunto.

Amazon didn't take it back. On the other hand, it will be a great present since (a) it works very well, (b) it also has its own band (a velcro thingie), and (c) it's well made and looks very nice.

NOTE. This is the first time ever that Amazon didn't allow returning an item. Their excuse was hilarious: it contains a flammable liquid.

Some responses:
I see some people complaining about the fit on a watchband - the opening is 22mm x 4mm, and it WILL NOT FIT if your watch falls outside these bounds. So no more complaining!

What do you mean "only works if you hold it flat" - IT'S A COMPASS, SILLY! THEY ALL WORK THAT WAY!

Works fine for me mountain biking, running, hiking, and traveling.

My only complaint is that there's no convenient way to attach to a keychain, so I drilled a hole through the plastic clip part next to the directional arrow and it works great.

Works well and seem to be of good quality. If this is what you need I recommend it without reservations.
