    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:less than 1 day

    Pros:
    This compass seems rugged and relatively precise compared to the low price you pay for it. It has a good feel to it, and for less than $5, it's a good deal!
    Cons:
    This compass is a bit slow on settling, so not good for people who are in a hurry ;)

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Looks nice, high resolution, in theory one can read a quite exact bearing and use it i.e. together with a map to find a position fix or to avoid collision with another ship on the sea.
    Cons:
    I find it a bit difficult to read the bearing, and it also seems to take quite long time for it to stabilize - one ought to do ...
