Highlights
Quality
Seems to be of good quality durable.
Good build quality and like the 'key-chain', helps in keeping it for getting lost.
On a recent hike where it rained the paper temperature scale inside the thermometer case got wet and the compass fogged.
Btw - it reads made in taiwan.
Price
Recommend to have on jacket or backpack for its the cheapest option on amazon and don’t weigh anything and of good size.
Shipping
A few days later this item arrived.
Competitiveness
The thermometer is accurate to within about 2 degrees fahrenheit as far as i can tell by comparison to home thermometers.
The compass is more or less accurate when compared with the compass of my iphone 4.
