I absolutely agree with your title!!! For a watch starting at $250 you would expect at least "decent" quality and not something that will come apart in your hands when you try to rotate the bezel…I really like all the features those watches offer and I was looking at the Light Black but decided it was not worth the $350 Suunto is asking. I instead purchased an $89 Origo (barometer, altimeter and compass) on sale (that’s how much I’m willing to pay for a Chinese made watch) and it has performed extremely well for the money paid.

	Compass Compasses are sensitive, absolutely crucial instruments to precision navigation. The earth's magnetic field, inclination, and your longitude and latitude all influence the horizontal plane of a compass needle. As a result, compasses are balanced for different geographical zones. Suunto Compasses overcome this limitation to traditional compasses by using a simple 'Two Zone System'. With a Suunto Compass, the only 'balancing zones' are the northern and southern hemispheres. In addition to this innovation, certain Suunto Compasses come equipped with useful features like luminous needles and marks, centimeter/inch scales, magnifying glasses, clinometers, sighting notches, and more.
