3 out of 5 stars High Gear Compass   January 9, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Compass has everything I need, time, date, alarm, and compass. But, it's a bit difficult to use. I've gotten use to it and it serves all my needs.


2 out of 5 stars Works well unless you're under water   May 31, 2006

Bought mine sometime around Christmas and took it into the water for the first time on a trip to St Thomas last week. It died within 10 minutes of being in the water. It was never more than 5' down while I was snorkeling.
While I never tested the compass or thermometer against known "accurate" ones, it seemed to work well enough for my purposes. Just keep it dry.



3 out of 5 stars Good but not water resistant   March 25, 2006

Overall I loved my TrailDrop compass until I took it swimming (only a few feet below the surface) and two days later it died.

Positives:
- Great form factor: size and shape are perfect... I would consider this to be the primary reason to consider purchase
- Decent accuracy on compass... not for serious hiking but good enough to point the general direction

Negatives:
- Thermometer seems to be way off... also needs time to cool down after being in a pocket
- Not Water Resistant
- Color beings to wear away after several long hard trips
- Confusing interface (at first)



2 out of 5 stars Not easy to use, can't recommend....   February 25, 2006

Overall, not terribly happy with this units user interface and design. The spartan instructions require pressing buttons referred to in the manual as "SW1" SW2" etc, but they are not labeled as such on the device. You toggle through modes that are abreviated on the display with just 2 letters to tell you what they are ("TR" "CH" what??) Just an unfreindly interface all around. Look for a better unit.


1 out of 5 stars Terrible, too bad I can't rate it 'zero stars.'   December 8, 2005

Don't buy this compass if you need to know any direction. If you know about where the sun sets, you will be more accurate than this "compass." It is impossible to use in the field. A waste of money: inaccurate to the max, impossible to maintain it level, etc. Just junk. They should give them away.
