BarskaDeep Sea Waterproof Floating Binocular w/ Internal Rangefinder & Compass, Blue, 7x50mm (AB10798)

Great for the price. I bought a good set of binoculars in 1969 and they worked great until last year when my boat sunk and they didn't survive. (Got water in the left lens) Actually the right side still works. But, anyway, about the Barska Marines, they are really clear and I like the features, floating, waterproof, rangefinder and lighted compass. They are great for one person only because of the individual focus adjustments, but for a hundred bucks you can buy everyone in the boat their own pair and have lots of spares in case one goes overboard and floats away. Of course they are not Swarovski's but at my age if they last ten years I will probably be done boating anyway and give them to the grandkids. Lots of features for the price, but if you are going to be a rough user you may want to invest in a pair that are a little bit more robust based on the other reviews.

This is the best darn $105 binocular I've ever bought for boating. Internal compass, shock proof, waterproof and IT FLOATS. Generic user manual sucks, so I followed hints to find other functions. Two watch-batteries were supplied but not installed. Small rubber cap w/CCW arrow & the word "remove" protected an o-ring sealed watch-battery socket. Momentary power-button actuated an internal red lamp, for viewing compass heading and "range-finder" at night. Detailed instructions were supplied for the "range finder", an optical reticle in the right lens, using horizontal and vertical scales with marks 5mils apart. Each mark equals an object of 5 meters(16.4ft) at 1000 meters(3280.8ft) distance. Using a cylindrical slide-rule around the front lens, any distance can be extrapolated if the size is known, and any size can be determined if the distance is known. Not a true rangefinder, but very cool anyway (nautical charts provide height of significant landmarks). Individual eye focusing is not my ideal, but okay as the depth of field is very, very good.

This is my first pair of binoculars! I bought it for field use - 100-300 meter out magnification. My requirements were a rangefinder ruler and a quality product overall.This pair met my expectations. There was a small issue however. I bought mine from Amazon, and got it at significant discount, but with non-functioning compass. Compass is just a simple swivel thing, but it would be nice to have it work.As I often look at open terrain through them, I find that 7 is not enough. This is, of course, not a compass defect, but a lesson I got a privilege of learning.I would prefer to have one focusing nob. There are two - one for each eye. Again, not a defect, just a style of binocular.Overall this is an excellent pair of binoculars.

Decent binoculars for the money. Just wish they had a version without the stupid range finder in the lens. It's worthless and distracting. Would be be 5 stars if they didn't have that crap in the lens.

Fantastic set of glasses for checking out the stars at night or in the morning. Got these glasses to try and view Comet ISON. That was a bust, but I did find out, these binoculars can really pull in more stars that you can imagine. Look up into the night sky and you may see a couple of hundred stars, (depending on where you are) but then look up through these glasses and you will see thousands. Unbelievable. Very happy I got them. Now for the other stuff. The binoculars do not come with the battery and the operating instructions are for a different set of binoculars. Not a big deal, more of an aggravation. Still, very happy with these binoculars.

The self-focusing feature takes some time to get used to; it was a little headache-y at first, but now it's second nature to use. I don't use it for diving--which is what it's designers had in mind--but the floating / waterproof feature is great for birding and other wildlife viewing around the beach, marsh, and river.I selected this product because I'm clumsy and would hesitate to take standard binocs around water, but these leave me with no fear of losing or destroying them. They've gone in the water twice (and bounced off the dock once) with no damage. Also, have a comfy fit with either glasses or contacts / no eye wear.

Saw another review with the exact same issue I just had, so wanted to add mine to the pile. These have been used on one trip in January of 2023 and were treated with care. Since then, the binoculars had been sitting in their case unused for months when I took them out again in preparation for a trip down the Amazon river. Upon pulling them out, the left eye piece came off in my hand and will not reattach. Upon further inspection, it seems that there is a glue used to secure it which has failed.I liked the binoculars up until this failure, and seeing as I'm not the only one with this issue, I've chosen to go with a reimbursement instead of a replacement.

I am very impressed with the Binoculars,they have exceeded all of my expectations!! I love the focus ability of both eyes instead of the traditional one eye focus, it Truly makes them a step above all the rest of the Binoculars I have owned or even looked at. And the price was reduced lower than what I thought it could be!! Also I didn't have to do any tracking on my product, Amazon gave me a heads up on where it was, and when I could expect to receive it. Thanks Amazon for great service, great prices, also great products!
