Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

A great compass, nice design and it will operate without being perfectly level. My only complaint is the strap design . . . who came up with that idea?

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

I received this compass after reading really good reviews. I read that the strap was not great but doubted that it was that bad, however I would say that the strap should be improved and I am going to be using it with bungee straps. Really did not like the strap.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

The compass is really good, but not a big fan of the strap. In addition, it does not glow that much on the dark

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

The compass itself is very good. It tilts off center and is still accurate as promoted. However, the wrist band is a terrible design. I am currently looking for a way to replace the band.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

Replace the strap with bungee; then it's perfect.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

Great compass though I did throw away the band and use a DSS bungee mount instead.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

I purchased this compass to augment my dive computer. I have not put prescription lenses in my dive mask yet, and my dive computer compass is difficult to read. This compass is easy to read without my glasses. It also does read when tilted as far as 30 degrees, just as advertised. I used this compass to pass my Advanced Diver navigation a couple days after taking it out of the box. The ONLY thing I'm not crazy about is the way it closes around the wrist. It's easy enough at the surface, but at depth readjustment is slightly challenging at first.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

Overall a very well made compass. I do like the ability to tilt to 30 degrees.

The strap is another story. For the cost of this compass, I expected something better.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

Needed a compass for my PADI Navigation class. This one was recommended by my and instructor and works beautifully. I use it on every dive now.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

An excellent choice for either a primary or alternate compass

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

I have had the chance to dive with this compass several times now and find it to be everything I hoped. It is very forgiving underwater with a +/- 30 degree tilt and it is clear and easy to read.

My wife had been struggling with a console compass and asked to try mine. Once was all it took and now we own two of these.

I highly recommend this as an outstanding product, but I also recommend ditching the strap (which is just terrible) and moving to a boot plate with bungee cords. It works like a dream in that configuration.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

This truly is one of if not the best compasses out there. It is easy to find optional bungee mounts and the price isn't that much higher than lessor products in the same category.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

Great compass, The rotating compass dial can be tilted a little more than other compasses, it is clear and it is fluoresent for easy reading at low or no light conditions, but that makes it a little bit bulky. The wrist strap is not very confortable to use at first, and it has a little robber stoper that it is ment to be lost.

Let's hope Sunto improves the wrist strap on this model.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

Great tilt range. Easy to read. Comfortable

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

great range of motion with product

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

I love the compass, it is easy to read in all conditions and isn't "picky" about being exactly level.I absolutely HATE the band though... Instead of using a buckle, it uses a fiddly "poke through the holes" setup which is REALLY hard to do one handed, especially when diving in cold weather and the rubber gets hard... this is one of the last things you put on, so basically you are pretty well geared up when putting it on, and fiddling with a band for 5 minutes to get it on is about the LAST thing I want to be doing.I am past the time where I can return it, so I am going to keep it until I can find a better band and then sell it [...].

great compass but little bulky..

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

Large side window helps in maintaining a heading.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

Big and easy to read.....

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

Pretty good wrist mount compass. Does not take long at all (5-10 seconds, longer for more charge) to charge and illuminate. Bright when charged.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

The only thing I don't like is the strap. I'm thinking about replacing it with bungee as described in other reviews...

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

Reliable , easy to read , outstanding product

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

This free moving compass always showed North at many angles.
The bearing numbers were very easy to read through the side window of the compass.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

Probably the best compass available, but the strap has a tendency to unbuckle. Also, the little rubber stop at the end of the strap was missing after my second dive. I would recommend using a safety pin to double secure the strap.

I used this compass while cenote diving and it was really accurate and easy to read in low / no light.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

So much better than the rest of the competition! Easy to read and very consistent when you get in the habit of using it correctly. Great in low light and low visibility.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

This is definitely the BEST compass you can get. Easy to use and read. It has an excellent tilt rating. Many technical divers rely on this compass; so should you. The watch strap is good; but would suggest a bungee instrument mount deep sea supply.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

Here in the Northwest the vis can be poor and being able to navagate by compass is a must. The Sunto is the best I have used. It does not hang up, it works well at most angles and is easy to read. I dive a dry suit with dry gloves and find the compass easy to put on and adjust.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

This is the best wrist compass and a wrist compass is more accurate than a console as you can hold it in a repeatable position. When looking at a compass on a console it is difficult to impossible to hold it in the same orientation every time even the height that you mount the cylinder will affect the result as you have more or less hose so the console will sit at a slightly differant angle this means you will read a differing heading almost everytime. But with a wrist compass it you have the compass on your Left arm and take bearings when holding your right elbow you will be able to replicate the same possition every time.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

Nice compass. Count on replacing the strap. It's not usable.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

Best wrist compass on the market to date.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

Compass is easy to read, and easy to keep oriented. Makes navigating easier. The index marks help you keep the compass needle locked in thus making your line of travel true. Side window also a plus.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

The SK7 has all the features that I would look for on a wrist held compass. Nice bezel, good luber line, bright florescent dial, and the dial does not stick at angles.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

When you're looking for a wrist compass, this is the one.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

This is the compass that many tech divers use. Would consider changing the strap for an adjustable bungee for easy on/off. Bought two, but dive buddy did not want. Fast and easy return.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

I found it difficult to hold my wrist out steady and directly in front of me. I prefer the console held compass or better yet the computer.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

Great compass - easy to use and reliable. Good backup compass also.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

Great compass, don't waste your time or money looking elsewhere.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

The gauge is designed to be readable even at an angle, and that makes it handy even when you're not perfectly level. The bezel and strap are also extra large, which makes them easy to use over a drysuit or with heavy gloves on. My only criticism is with the strap locking mechanism. It is robust, but hard to fasten, even without gloves on. Overall though, I'm happy with this compass.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

This compass is accurate and reliable. Unlike other brands, it reads well even when not held perfectly Horizontal. Large clear numbers makes reading at depth quite easy.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

Excellent compass, don't take me wrong, although it is kinda bulky as wrist unit, one of my buddies has the compass clipped to the BCD and it is a better set up.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto SK7 Wrist Compass:

You can't beat the SK7, especially with the Deep Sea Supply mount.
