SUUNTO M-9 Wrist Compass

This is a great wrist compass. This doesn't really compare with standard sighting compasses, button compasses, or baseplate compasses. The closest comparison would probably be a diving compass, but not as bulky. The resolution/precision of the compass is five degrees. As noted with other reviews, if you use the sighting function on the compass, you can easily interpolate to within a degree or so. As far as accuracy, I haven't tested it against known landmarks, but it is consistently within a few degrees of my MC-2, which suggests to me that it is pretty accurate. The size is great and it's pretty stylish. As others said, the strap that comes with the compass is pretty ugly and uncomfortable. I went ahead and replaced the strap right away and now it's how it should have been. For hiking, this pairs up great with a solid baseplate or mirror compass.
