Review: Fantastic wearable compass - Great product. Convenient wrist wear and super light weight. Very luminous card. Easily works well with a map. The Velcro strap might want to be reconsiderd. I've replaced the Velcro strap with a Nato strap.
Review: A great compass for camping, trekking, and wilderness survival. - This is a fantastic little compass! Wear it on your wrist, with the handy velcro strip. It's of durable, water-resistant plastic, and lightweight. Using this compass to get your bearings is easy, and a snap! View the compass card from the top, and your "route-of-march" using the incorporated window. It's small, and unobtrusive. The card floats in a damping fluid. For a magnetic based compass this one is a good bet for the price!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can I use it for recreational scuba diving?**
A: It's designed to be waterproof, but not to be immersed at depth.  Trying to see the compass dial at depth would be difficult if not impossible.  I'd get a dedicated scuba compass for that kind of environment.

**Q: Is it possible to replace the wristband with a NATO wristband ? How wide is the wristbrand ? Thanks.**
A: Yes, I have it with a NATO strap.  Must be 20mm width.

**Q: I just want this for just general cardinal direction at a quick glance. Is this good enough, or is it overkill for that purpose?**
A: What is overkill?  I have owned SEVERAL button compasses that slip on your watch band, some boasting highly respected name brands.  All of them were unreliable.  For only thirty dollars, the Suunto M-9 is stable, easy to read, and VERY reliable.  The Velcro band may look and feel cheesy, but actually lasts approximately two years of daily active 24/7 use before it must be replaced with a more substantial band.  This is the least expensive quality wrist compass on the market.  While not intended as a dive compass, mine has been below 90 ft MANY times with no problem.

**Q: Is this compass made in Finland?**
A: The compass I purchased indicates Finland in raised letters found on the strap guide. Very useful piece of equipment.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a fantastic wrist compass, but the quality control failed.
*by A***A on November 21, 2025*

In a week, I have the most important ultra-trail race of the year on my calendar, 110 kilometers (70 miles). I wanted to supplement the GPS navigation on my Garmin watch with non-electronic ground navigation, so I would be using two compasses and two waypoints. I did detailed research and chose the best wrist compasses I could find: the Suunto M-9. When the package arrived, I was very happy, but as soon as I opened the padded cardboard bag from Amazon, I discovered that something was wrong. I didn't even have to open the individual compass boxes; it was clear that one worked freely and the other was stuck, not moving at all, only a couple of degrees at most. I hope this was an error by Suunto's Quality Control Department, firstly, and then an unfortunate second error by the seller in packing and shipping it without noticing the defect. Fortunately, the second Suunto M-9 compass works very well. I must say, it impressed me from the first moment: The packaging is very nice; upon opening the box, you can tell it's a quality product from a solid, reputable company. The compass and mount are made of plastic, very lightweight, excellent for trail runners who want to minimize the weight they carry. Regarding its performance, it's adequate. I was able to test it against another pair of compasses from a different brand, as you can see in the photos, and it's quite accurate. It's clear that a wrist compass isn't a precision tool; if you need a more precise compass, there are other options—larger, heavier, and requiring manual operation, not with the ease and simplicity of a wrist compass. I'm satisfied with the accuracy of the Suunto M-9; it was exactly what I was looking for. While not bulky, the Suunto M-9 compass is large enough to be clearly visible and avoid confusing the user. I took a picture of the compass on my wrist next to my enormous 51mm Garmin Enduro 3 watch, just as I'll be using them during the ultratrail race. This photo shows that even though the compass and watch are very close together, the compass's functionality isn't affected; the north reading remains accurate. As you can see in the photos, I haven't used the original Velcro straps. Instead, I bought some BARTON NATO-style straps from Amazon. They are a standard 10 inches long and 18mm wide, made of very soft canvas—a good option if you don't want to use the Velcro strap. I bought this 18mm wide canvas strap because I wanted to use two compasses on my wrist for land navigation: a Suunto M-9 on the outside of my wrist, like a watch, and a second compass at a 90-degree angle to the first, aligned with my thumb. The purpose of these two compasses was to facilitate navigation on the ground. The larger Suunto M-9 would always provide the primary navigation, but if I had to run with trekking poles, it would be much easier to use the smaller compass aligned with my thumb for navigation, without having to raise my arm to check my wrist. I'm explaining all this so you don't do it; it's a bad idea. The Suunto compass has a stronger magnetism and interferes with the smaller compass when they are close together, within 10 centimeters. The reflective material on the Suunto M-9 isn't good. I tried to take the best picture, but the compass itself isn't very clear; it's blurry and confusing. You should consider whether this is an important feature for you. This isn't a problem for a trail runner, since ultrarunners wear a headlamp at night, which illuminates the direction they're looking. I hope this review helps other future buyers. The compass deserves a five-star rating, and the Suunto brand deserves the same rating as well. However, I had to point out the mistake made with my order, so I'm giving it four stars.
