Sun Company TempaComp

Easy to use and works exactly as expected. Not strong, but didn’t expect it to be. Compass moves easily and is the best ball compass I’ve used. Thermometer seems to work fine as well, and matched other thermometers for accuracy. Product handles submersion in fresh water just fine. I personally wouldn’t use it for map reading, and it isn’t super intuitive unless you tell the user how it works. Bought several as gifts, all work equally well. It now lives on my bag.

I bought two of these and as nice as it looks and works I am worried that the ball compass will be knocked, pulled or yanked out if something hits it. When examining the carabiner touching the ball compass too hard made it move as if it would come lose if hit hard enough. Yes I realized anything can break but felt that the compass was better secured then it actually is. Having said that I have had this device for some time without incident.

Compass seems to work okay, although it's not immediately clear how to read it, which requires you to ignore the larger, external letters and focus on the smaller internal ones. The thermometer is wildly inaccurate. It is currently reporting a temperature of approximately 90 degrees Fahrenheit in my 70 degree apartment on a 66 degree day. I purchased to replace a carabiner I use to hold my keys; the one I have is climbing-grade and works very well, hooking into one of my belt loops easily. This construct, on the other hand, mounts the ball compass on the same side that the latch opens, meaning you can't actually fit anything more than a few millimeters wide into the opening. As such, I cannot get it onto my belt loop. I had a pretty low expectations, and yet I am still thoroughly disappointed.

It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and clips right onto your bag or gear, so you don’t even have to think about it. I like that it adds that “prepared but effortless”

I'm glad to have it and it's better than nothing. I've found that it's been reading around 45° off from what my phone or GPS are showing me (which have tracked with maps as well). –(Notice that there are different ways of reading it -overhead and from the side). So, knowing what to adjust for, it's still helpful, I would prefer it reads true from the beginning of course. Temperature readings I haven't verified as much, but I've just been using it as general reference.

This is really a unique item and I love mine. I don't carry it in my purse because I don't want it to get messed up but I found that I use it quite often and keep it in my car because I do not have a compass there.

I use it attached to a Kayak. It works really well. Some things to note about magnetic compasses like this. It’s designed to be viewed from behind or on top of. There is a picture in a review with it pointed in the right direction, but the guy didn’t know how to view it. You also have to be careful when you use a compass in a car or on a keyring. In a car you have to figure out where the car won’t interfere with it. If you use it on a keyring, you have to take it off the keyring if you have steel or magnets on the keyring, or use keys and rings made out of aluminum, titanium, or plastic. That won’t interfere with it. I have sadly made all these mistakes in the past with various compasses.

ハイキング中にアプリを使ってトレイルを見つけます。 しかし、アプリを使っても白雪姫のハイキング中に、私はほとんど迷子になりました。 別のハイカーは、コンパスを使って道を見つけるのを手伝いました。 それで、すぐに手に入れたかった。 液体が凍るのではないかと心配していました。 しかし、-20°C でテストするために冷凍庫に入れても、コンパスは引き続き機能します。 フリーズしません。 少し大きめですが、ビルドの品質は良好なようです。 私はCコンパスを電話用コンパスと、よりプロフェッショナルなコンパスと比較しました。 方向を正しく示します。 温度もデジタル温度計に比べて正しかった。

Clips onto my manbag so I never get lost. I also took it on a cruise ship when we went to Norway, and it proved it's worth! The captain made an announcement one day, "Ladies and Gentlemen, we are having issues with the ship's navigation system, the magnetic compass is not functioning. Does anyone by chance own a compass they could bring to the bridge so we can navigate safely?" Obviously, I took this compass to the captain, and he was very grateful. I'm sure I saved hundreds of lives that day. NB: one of the above facts is true.

I bought this product for check temperature during my hikings. It's accurate, but quite small, hard to see the scale. All over it's a good product especially if someone use the compass as well.

Not very good as my compass points south not north. Wouldn't recommend this product.

I did not like the product and requested to return it but no answer from the seller
