I have been using Suunto SK 7 compasses for 12 years, left my last one on a dive holiday, the SK 8 continues the high quality expected of Suunto instruments, very happy with this purchase.

The Suunto SK-8 is a high-quality liquid filled compass that has set a new standard for dive compasses. The device features 2-3 times larger tilt potential than in conventional diving compasses and provides easy-to-read numerals.
Improved Calibration improves the coverage so the card is suitable for use in the northern hemisphere and much of the southern hemisphere too.
Exceptional Tilt Potential of +/-30°, which is 2-3 times larger than in conventional diving compasses. The firm-grip bezel with a ratchet at every fifth degree is especially designed to prevent sand and dirt contamination, thus allowing smooth turning in all conditions.
Extra Long Wrist Strap can be worn over wetsuits or thicker drysuits with a secure watch buckle.

Usual Suunto quality. Seem robust but quite expensive for a compass. Quality costs though.

An excellent compass by Suunto. We have 4 in our diving family as so easy to use and very clear. All of ours are mounted on the suunto compass retractor which makes then much easier to use than on the wrist. side viewing window makes following a bearing very easy and dial luminesces with very little light. A little pricey perhaps, but excellent quality and built to take quite a battering and still perform. I would replace mine with same if lost and not look further.

Great job! Easy to use and good value. I wouldn’t bother with the pouch which accompanies it at an extra £13.

A really good robust product that is easy to read. Even with my dodgy eyesight. I also bought the retractor that goes with it and it works really well.
