Hi all,

Last week I finally found a button compass that seems to work so well, I'm thinking about including this one in my PSK: it's the European Silva model 40 luminous watchband version.

I'll try and post a picture....

Its the one with the high case and the yellowish bezel (luminous).

I've tried others, also silva (the low case) and they are unreliable. Because the disc has very little room for tilting, you have to kep them very flat on your hand or the disc gets stuck. Which is difficult while walking. The model figured here is less prone to this sticking of the rotary disc.

Has anyone got experience with these compasses. How do they hold themselves over time?

Thanks!

Luca
