Just got the MC-2 Global. While working on the ins/outs of the thing (I'm proficient w/ a compass, some new stuff I'm learning though), I noticed the bezel was really loose. So loose, that when I turn it I'm not longer confident that I have the right bearing. When I say "loose" I mean the ring will shift to the left/right/up/down. It can be off at least a degree. And while a single degree or two shouldn't be cause for concern, I spent a lot of money and didn't figure this would be an issue.
Is there something I'm missing? Here's what I'm talking about.

No, a loose bezel is not normal. As was suggested, call and swap it out. I have a similar model. Everything is snug as a bug. I went back a couple days later and they had pulled all of them off the shelf. |

 Good move.
Although, that's a shame about Suunto |

Yeah I was really looking forward to using it, but spending $95 on a compass that didn't work right made me a bit bitter. I'll continue to use my Cammenga until it craps out, which will probably be soon. The Cammenga seems to take much better bearings when sighting in, or is at least much easier since I don't have to look at backwards numbers in a mirror. Why put a mirror there in the first place considering it doesn't really work right. Quoted:

Although, that's a shame about Suunto I'm used to map style compasses ...so it's a learning curve. |
