## Description

Suunto attachable compasses form a natural part of outdoorgear, freeing up hands and easing the mind.

Review: Perfect Compact compass and durable !! - Great little compass. Bought because I wanted something small and good quality to improve my directional skills and just carry around. It’s perfect size to clip to a watch. Also super durable. I’ve already dropped it multiple times and accidentally ran it through the wash and it still works perfect.
Review: The Button Compass Most Are Looking For - Excellent button compass that is well built and accurate. I've attached it to a small paracord lanyard by way of a loop at the end of the lanyard and it fits my needs perfectly. The compass is accurate and can be used to transfer bearings taken from map to field and vice versa in an emergency situation. I've also attached a small compass rose/protractor to the lanyard to aid the accuracy. The Clipper is a nice backup to my Suunto A30 baseplate compass as well and a perfect everyday compass for general direction needs.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the luminescent markers self-luminating (tritium), or do they need to be exposed to light for them to be luminous in the dark?**
A: I believe the markers are luminous paint. There is luminosity only in the four cardinal directions on the interior of the compass, while the degree markings around the outer circumference are plain white paint. In order to be fully functional for luminous use, the compass would need luminous markers on the cardinal points and also on the degree markers. This would make such a compass very expensive indeed. There may be a small amount of tritium dust embedded in the paint but these are not solid tritium markers such as you would find on high grade rifle sights. The markers glow very faintly but you can enhance the glow by shining a bright light onto the markers for several seconds. If the compass fits your watchband, it will be functional but don't expect military grade performance. In pitch dark, you will need to acquire a ray of light from somewhere in order to use this compass. Moonlight should be sufficient to allow use of the compass but not sufficient to charge the luminous markers.

**Q: What os (one size) means? does it mean it can work in northern and southern hemisphere?**
A: The clipper model # SS004102011 is for the Northern hemisphere
The clipper Model # SS004102012 is for the Southern hemisphere
OS means Ordnance Survey as already explained

**Q: This can be used for diving?  I don't see a depth resistance rating on it's description.  Thanks.**
A: Mine has survived 15+ dives between 40 and 80 ft and works great clipped to the lower strap of my wrist-mounted computer just above where it meets the buckle.  I don't expect any problems with zero air visible inside.

**Q: is this model made in China**
A: The Suunto Clippers that I received were manufactured in Finland. One of the two reasons I purchased them (1 - Suunto reputation, 2- made in Finland)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Compass but Not Perfect
*by Z***R on November 27, 2024*

After getting stranded in a city where the phone navigation app could not connect to a cell or Wifi network due to all the tall buildings and narrow streets and provide step by step directions, I started looking for a "real" compass that would not drain the battery using the compass app on my iPhone. The Suunto Clipper is the third compass I've tried. Suunto is a great brand, making quality compasses for years. Pros - great price, well made, rotating bezel, and very accurate. Note: I always wear two watches, an Apple watch on one wrist, an analogue watch on the other. Analogue Cons - If worn with a watch clipped to the watch strap close to watch case (most logical location to use the compass): on all of my watches with 20mm straps, the metal, battery, or capacitor in the watch created Deviation, which refers to the error in a compass reading caused by local magnetic fields created by nearby metal objects or electrical currents, which can pull the compass needle off its true north alignment. While the amount of deviation was minimal to extreme, I am unable to use this compass with any of my watches. I tested this with five analogue watches, all with stainless steel or titanium cases. Straps also non magnetic. 1. Geneve battery powered "quartz", 2. Seiko kinetic, 3. Hamilton automatic, 4 & 5 Squale automatic. Also tried with Apple watch 7, the strap is too wide for a good/snug fit and also a lot of unacceptable deviation. This compass will likely work well clipped to clothing or gear straps. It will also perform well if worn on on a wrist on a separate strap away from your watch.
