I'm a born and bred city boy and the only compass I was familiar with was the kind that helped me draw circles.Honestly, in all my 65 years I've never had the need to use a compass. Living in Manhattan, all you have to remember is that North is uptown and East and West are divided by Fifth Avenue. Let me tell you, it's a lot easier to navigate around Manhattan than Miami or Salt Lake City where everything seems designed to confuse the heck out of the tourists.Anyway, I thought that it would be nice to own and learn to read a compass while not spending a lot of money in the process. Prices of these things are all over the map (no pun intended) but, unless you plan on going deep into the wilderness and putting your life on the line, good enough is simply good enough.I have to admit that it took me a few minutes to figure out how a compass works, but the instructions that Silva packs with the compass are pretty simple. Even declination is made clear enough for anyone with a little intelligence and a willingness to learn. Maybe I'm old-school, but I found it easier than learning to use a GPS device.As I said, if you're into survival games or in the military, you probably want something sturdier or with some special features. This model is all plastic but does seem fairly sturdy. In any case, I would suggest taking advantage of the lanyard hole as dropping it probably isn't in your best interest. It's made in Indonesia if that matters to you, but North is North in Indonesia too.If you just want to learn how to read a compass or are involved in the Boy Scouts (or even feng shui as one reviewer is), an inexpensive Silva Polaris will serve the purpose.

Its a simple compass, but it seems to work fine. The action is smooth, and it seems well built. The dial turns very smoothly on mine. I just needed a cheap one so I can orient myself when I get off a bus in a new city, or to make sure I'm driving the right way after I've been on the road for a while (my car doesn't have a compass in it, and I don't always have GPS). I just stick this in my backpack, and it hasnt let me down. This one seems to have the best reviews on amazon, and I have to say its a good compass. Good buy, unless you're some kind of cartographer or surveyor.

This little compass really has everything a beginner to intermediate user needs. My oldest one has held up well for 6 years of use and is small, lightweight, and easy to use.I would like if it also included a magnifier for emergency fire-starting, but this is not a deal-breaker for me. I have four of these little guys in various kits, and they have all worked well for me.I give this compass a 4 star rating for overall functionality and value. I would rate it 5 stars if it had a Magnifier.
