My main problem with this compass which is why i knocked off a star it that the face came scratched a little through one of the degree markings it is not so bad that i cannot make it out but when you buy a new thing you kinda want it to be pristine then after that all scratches and dings are from your own adventures the problem is how the compass is packaged by silva there is no plastic covering the face of the compass it is simply mounted in cardboard
