"All around excellent! I submitted a custom design with my order on a Friday night. Seller responded promptly, and the compass was shipped across the ocean to my door by the following Thursday.
Reading past reviews, I was admittedly a bit worried about the quality of the compass (my understanding is that the seller does the engraving, but does not manufacture the compass), but it met all of my expectations for general functionality- opens/closes without issue, clearly and consistently shows north etc. As others have said, the needle takes awhile to settle, but if I wanted a compass for navigation when my life depends on it, I would go with something light and utilitarian, instead of heavy and ornamental, anyway.
I was looking for a sentimental gift for my partner who is an avid hiker, and for that, it was perfect."
