Sports reviews of Suunto M-2D Compass

Customer Review: Best for the money
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

Contrary to what another reviewer wrote - this compass is liquid filled. The little metal screwdriver is for the adjustable magnetic declination scale. This is about the best compass in this price range due to the features above. It would be ideal if it were 1/2" longer, but at this price point there is nothing that can touch it, for quality and features. The only thing it would not excel at is very serious map work - it is ideal for the orienteer, hiking, scouting, and survival.

Description of Suunto M-2D Compass

A high quality compact compass designed with user-friendly features for general use. The M-Series represent durable, reliable, high quality navigational aids, which perform flawlessly in even the most demanding of conditions. Models feature a large liquid filled capsule and adjustable declination correction scale. Another convenient feature of the models in this series is the serrated bezel ring, which is easy to turn even in cold conditions while wearing gloves. Due to their easy-to-read luminous markings and magnifying lenses, the compasses of the M-Series are also ideally suited to navigating in conditions of poor visibility.
Hailing from Suunto's M-Series of professional compasses, the M-2D is a compact, high-quality navigational aid that performs flawlessly even in the most demanding conditions. The user-friendly compass features a large, liquid-filled capsule and an adjustable declination correction scale that guarantees a high level of accuracy. Another convenient feature is the serrated bezel ring, which is easy to turn even in cold conditions while wearing gloves. And thanks to the easy-to-read luminous markings and magnifying lens (with four-fold magnification), the M-2D is ideally suited to navigating in poor visibility.

The M-2D employs Suunto's two-zone system to help adventurers find their way anywhere in the northern hemisphere. Previously, most compasses functioned well in only one of five geographic zones. That's because the compasses were balanced differently based on the zone's inclination, i.e., the vertical intensity and direction of the Earth's magnetic field. However, as people began to travel more, it became clear that globe-hoppers needed compasses with a greater geographical range. Suunto's two-zone system, by contrast, considers only the northern and southern hemispheres. In practice, this means that a Suunto compass designed for the northern hemisphere--as the M-2D is--will still work for a fair distance into the southern hemisphere and vice-versa. Suunto is one of only two compass manufacturers to offer two-zone compasses.

The M-2D measures 2.4 by 3.5 inches and weighs a mere 1.2 ounces. It's also backed by a lifetime warranty.
