Leaking housing and illegible declination
It’s tough to review this as a poor product, as most of the features work great. However, the oil leaked out of the housing after very light use and caused all the declination measurements to smear and become illegible. Um - That’s a failure. If I can’t take my compass to 10,000 feet without it leaking and causing the declination measurements to fail, then this compass is useless. It is easy to accidentally adjust the declination, so it’s critical to be able to check the settings.
