KB-14 Compass: Hand-bearing compass with high accuracy and usability

This compass replaces a same model tried and true Suunto compass that had a broken glass/plastic top. I bought a refurbished model for a much better price than new and so far I am very pleased.

My Suunto KB-14 compass arrived missing the magnetic declination tool required to calibrate the compass to my geographic location. All I wanted was the tool. Amazon had no option to contact a real person to explain what had situation. I did contact Suunto but they didn't have the tool in stock, nor could they tell me what type of screw head was on the declination adjustment so that I could order a third party replacement. Because both Amazon's and Suunto poor customer service I had no other option than to return the item. Then Amazon does its cute checkbox trick to try get me to return for store credit instead of a refund. I wasted 4 hours of my time between Amazon and Suunto's subpar customer service, and if billed for my time it would have been more that the cost of the compass.

Attention to detail stood out in every aspect of this incredible compass..... I love it.

I tried twice to puchase the KB-14/360R G from this seller. What was shipped twice was a discontinued KB-14/360Q G The KB-14/360Q G is a QUAD (or quadrants) version SUUNTO KB-14 compass. Each quadrant of this compass is broken down 0-90 or 90-0 degrees. Certain land plats will have degrees referenced by quadrants. (If your land plat has any direction printed that is higher than 90 degrees, then you do NOT need this compass). This is a specialty use compass for limited users.
