Review: Fully functional for navigation! - I had so many compasses by now, I stopped counting. Yes, I never go outdoors without one. Yes, I rarely use them. So why do I always carry one - learned the hard way. Many years ago I got so lost among rolling hills deep in a Canadian forrest that if I did not have my latest Silva with me (which I put in the poket as a joke) I would likely not be writing this now. With this purchase I got the Sun Company MiniComp II and the SUUNTO Clipper Compass. Why? A momentary lapse of reason. They look so cute and the price allowed me to satisfy my curiosity I love them both, so I will keep them. Quality is top! Both are liquid filled (important). Can they be used for actual navigation - absolutely! They look like toys but are not. They are accurate and have everything needed to navigate. I am fluent in operating a compass and the tiny size is, in my case, an advantage. If you never operated a compass these might confuse you (depends). I do like the Sun a bit better. The bezel is easier to rotate. The longer base makes it very intuitive to use, like a Compass Bonsai :) I really love the free floating design. There is no needle to bang against on long hikes or motorcycle rides. It is a serious tool that takes itself not too seriously. The SUUNTO is very nice too! But the bezel is unnecessarily tight. The lack of “body” makes it a bit less intuitive. However it can be clipped to a wrist band, where the Sun cannot do this. It is a serious tool that takes itself too seriously. Yes, there is a needle, but it is in liquid, so from a functional and longevity stand point - needle or free floating - we are splitting hairs here. So - bottom line, I can now carry both discretely, have fun, and the kids will not roll their eyes … Ah … the compass … again :) Review: Keeps me from accidentally walking to Canada - Verified Purchase | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Let’s be honest: I am a full-grown, large human being. When this package arrived, I thought desertcart had accidentally shipped me a toy from a LEGO explorer set. This thing is *tiny*. It’s about the size of a postage stamp and weighs less than a single potato chip. I half expected a tiny plastic Indiana Jones to come with it. But don't let its cute, "I belong on a keychain for ants" appearance fool you. This little clipper is a absolute tank. I clipped it to my watch band, and it immediately went to work. It doesn't need batteries, it doesn't need a software update, and it doesn't care that I have zero cell service. While my expensive smart watch is busy telling me I haven't stood up enough today, this tiny piece of plastic is calmly pointing out that I am currently walking in the exact opposite direction of my truck. The Pros: Weightless:You will forget it’s there until you actually need it to survive. The Clip: It grips onto a watch strap or backpack webbing like a caffeinated crab. It’s not falling off. Luminescent:It glows in the dark just enough for you to see exactly how lost you are at 2:00 AM. The Cons: It is so small that if you drop it in the autumn leaves, you aren't finding the compass—you're going to need a second, slightly larger compass to locate the first compass. If you have a habit of wandering off the trail because a cool rock caught your eye, just buy it. It clips out of the way, does one job, and does it perfectly. 10/10, would avoid wandering aimlessly into the wilderness again. ## Features - Micro Compass: This super compact compass easily attaches to your sleeve, watch strap, backpack strap, or map edge so you can free up your hands; It's also great for underwater navigation - Balanced For Northern Hemisphere: This liquid filled jewel bearing compass has luminescent markings so it's operable in low light; The direction is on a rotating bezel in 10 degree increments - Stay On Course: Made in Finland, Suunto mechanical compasses help you safely and accurately navigate the great outdoors; Great for Alpine skiing, hiking, trekking, mountain biking, trail running and more - Pioneering Exploration: Combining advanced engineering and thoughtful design with ultra durable materials, our adventure ready compasses are fast, stable, and simple to use; No batteries required - Authentic Heritage: Founded in 1936, Suunto brings over 80 years of high quality heritage craftsmanship, relentless accuracy, and pioneering innovation to our watches, compasses, and dive products ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000BSDU4Y | | Additional Features | Portable, Waterproof | | Best Sellers Rank | #12,379 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #14 in Compasses (Sports & Outdoors) | | Brand | SUUNTO | | Brand Name | SUUNTO | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 4,893 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00045235900367, 06417084041029 | | Included Components | compass | | Item Dimensions L x W | 1.18"L x 0.94"W | | Item Highlight | Northern Hemisphere, Supercompact for Underwater Navigation&Hiking&Adventure, Cardinal Directions in Luminous Prints on Card | | Item Type Name | compass | | Item Weight | 1.12 ounces | | Manufacturer | Suunto | | Manufacturer Part Number | 9001681 | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | SS004102011 | | Mounting Type | Clip Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 1.18"L x 0.94"W | | Special Feature | Portable, Waterproof | | UPC | 097914398958 045235900367 045235510351 799916932153 | | Unit Count | 1 count | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SUUNTO - **Item Weight:** 1.12 ounces - **Material:** Plastic - **Product Dimensions:** 1.18"L x 0.94"W - **Special Feature:** Portable, Waterproof ## Images ![Clipper - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71m-tOEEPfL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## 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) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fully functional for navigation! *by M***I on November 15, 2025* I had so many compasses by now, I stopped counting.

I learned on a simple transparent orienteering compass, using the Silva 1-2-3 method, used by scouts, and orienteering competitors alike back in the day. You lay the compass down on your map, pictured is getting the bearing, say you are in LA, looking to go to Las Vegas as the crow flys. In this example, its 48 degrees, NE that I got from the map - (I'm ignoring the slight magnetic offset from true north just to keep this simple). To navigate simple hold the orienteering compass in your hand and put the red dial on "N" and look at the "read bearing" arrow to a far away point on the horizon, or a tree/rock if you are on a lake or something. follow that, repeat and if you were going the long distance from LA to Las Vegas, you'd be headed in the right direction as the crow flys. That's what a bezel is for. The thing is, this is not a transparent compass easy to lay down on a map, it's very small, so even if it was, it would be tough to get a accurate angle/bearing. After I've used for year, the compass falls out of the bezel many times - so I just gorilla glue it into the bezel, making it unmovable, and the compass never falls out. I think the bezel is a toy. So, why do I even have it? If I was doing the drive from LA to las vegas, it's not as the crow flys, I just want to know to go NE on a road to get there. Even with GPS, if I plan a new route, until the car moves, it's very handy to know quickly which way is north so I know which way to turn every now and then. It is accurate in that its worked on a commercial flight (as a passenger). it's a great simple backup to a gps, or real compass, but, forget the bezel, it's a gimmick imo. It does glow in the dark and orients fast and accurately, I love having it for what it simply does well. Glueing the bezel down makes it reliable.... ## Frequently Bought Together - SUUNTO Multifunctional Compass, Northern Hemisphere, Compact Waterproof Navigation Comapss for Hiking & Adventure - SUUNTO Multifunctional Compass, Northern Hemisphere, Compact Waterproof Navigation Comapss for Hiking & Adventure - SealLine Waterproof Map Case --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://faroe.desertcart.com/products/29366951-clipper](https://faroe.desertcart.com/products/29366951-clipper) --- *Product available on Desertcart Faroe Islands* *Store origin: FO* *Last updated: 2026-09-13*
