That would be the best way instead of using metal. That way you can limit the possibility of the compass being off due to the metal hardware being so close.The compass would imprrove withou the metal surrounding but you could also use plastic but thats my opinion
I didnt like how difficult it was to change the battery.Yeah, the compass works without the metal.
But overall, this thing is a royal piece of ****. Do not buy![]()
How did water get in?Exactly, the battery was terrible. And I'm pretty sure the thing is dead now that the water has been in there for a few days.
