What kind of activities is it suitable for?

It is great for Alpine skiing, hiking, trekking, mountain biking, trail running, and more.

Are the markings visible in low light?

Yes, the compass has luminescent markings for low light operability.

Are the luminescent markers self-luminating (tritium), or do they need to be exposed to light for them to be luminous in the dark?

The markers are luminous paint, and they glow faintly in the dark. You can enhance the glow by shining a bright light onto the markers for several seconds. To use this compass in complete darkness, you will need to acquire a ray of light from somewhere.

What does OS (one size) mean? Can it work in the northern and southern hemisphere?

OS means Ordnance Survey. The Clipper Model # SS004102011 is for the northern hemisphere, and Model # SS004102012 is for the southern hemisphere. Hence it cannot work in the opposite hemisphere.

Can this compass be used for diving? Is there a depth resistance rating for it?

This compass has been used for diving, and it survived 15+ dives between 40 and 80 ft and works great clipped to the lower strap of a wrist-mounted computer. There is no depth resistance rating available on the description.

Is this model made in China?

No, this model is manufactured in Finland by Suunto.

Can you tell by looking at the compass (not the packaging) if it is set up for the northern hemisphere or southern hemisphere?

No, you cannot tell by looking at the compass. However, this compass only works in the Northern Hemisphere; you must purchase a Southern Hemisphere or Equatorial compass for other regions.

Are the 6.3x3.9x0.3 dimensions listed for the compass correct? If so, how does it fit comfortably on a wristband?

The compass fits on a separate nylon velcro strap made for it, not on the watch band. Hence, the dimensions do not affect how it fits on the wristband.

What type of liquid is used in this compass?

There is no information on the type of liquid used in this compass, but it is known that the liquid does not freeze.

What size webbing or band does this compass fit best on? 3/4"? 1"?

The largest webbing or band that this compass can fit on is 3/4", or 19 mm. An inch-sized band may be too big and may knock off the compass if a sudden impact occurs.

Will this compass fit on a G-Shock Mudmaster band?

It appears that only a 22 mm wide and thin strap could fit on a G-Shock Mudmaster band.

What is the diameter in mm of the actual compass face, not the case?

The diameter of the compass face is 17mm. Adding in the surrounding rotating bezel ring, it becomes 24mm in diameter.

SUUNTO Compasses Editorial Review

The SUUNTO Clipper Compass is small and compact, making it perfect for attaching to straps, sleeves, or map edges. While it is not self-luminating, the compass markers can be enhanced by shining a bright light onto them. The Compass is designed for the Northern Hemisphere, with a separate model available for the Southern Hemisphere. It is not suitable for diving. The compass is manufactured in Finland and comes with a high-quality construction. However, it does not fit on a watch band and has a small compass face diameter. Overall, it is a convenient compass for low-impact activities and emergency use.

Pros

Small and compact design
High-quality construction
Glow-in-the-dark markers

Cons

Not self-luminating
Not suitable for diving
Does not fit on a watch band
Small compass face diameter
