Bushnell H2O Binoculars

"Perfect size, great field of view, excellent viewing angles, and clear, vibrant colors. I'm very happy with it. The weight is acceptable, and while it looks rugged, I'm certainly not willing to test its limits!"

I spent a long time selecting binoculars based on their technical characteristics. This unit had everything I wanted and was very reasonably priced. I was a little worried about having only 2 reviews, but I took a chance. And I did not regret my choice! Without going into technical details, these binoculars met all my expectations! It shows clear views both during the day and at night. There are only three little drawbacks. First, I wish the included bag was made of a thicker, more practical material, like canvas. Secondly, it is a little heavy. For adult hands this is not a problem, but my daughter is a teenager and she claimed ownership of the device, but after 15 minutes of use her hands get a little tired, for her a 7x35 would be a better choice. Third, the large caps do not fit tight enough to stay in place, they fall off before I can get the binoculars in it's case. But despite this, using this device, you will be physically and visually satisfied with its quality and capabilities.

Great binoculars. Have own several for over 50 years. These are extremely bright with crisp focus. Yes, the adjustment for eye spacing is stiff. I like that I don't have to reset it every time I pick them up. Also the comments about shading on the edges. . .all binoculars do this if they are not adjusted properly. I suspect possibly first time users?

I haven't had these for very long so I can't speak to the longevity of them but I got them because they're fog and waterproof and were within budget. I also liked the lifetime warranty that's offered so I feel better about traveling with them or letting others borrow them when I inevitably upgrade later on. So far I haven't noticed any chromatic abberation (when the colors distort around the field of vision and or around the objects in the frame) and it focuses well. It seems to not focus closer by and focuses better farther away. Overall, I'm fairly impressed. I got into birding and nature observing recently and needed a good beginner binocular. I was told by my local birding group that this is a good brand so I read up on them and liked their policies and the prices were really good for what they offered especially when compared to celestron and Nikon binos that I tried that are in the $150 range. The neck strap it came with is basic but better than a couple other stock ones I've seen from other brands. I'm definitely going to get a more comfortable one or a harness to use with these because they are pretty heavy. I have joint pain and mobility issues and even after 5 minutes my wrists were getting pretty angry. It's not enough for me to want to send them back but they're definitely going to be used for quick looks. The weight does feel good in that I don't feel like they are cheap or will break easily if left in my car or accidentally dropped. I took off the one star for the weight which is more on me than the company, they do have the weight listed in the description and some reviews said they were heavy and some said they were not. I knew I was taking a chance with that. But like I said it took a good 5 minutes before my wrists were hurting and in the field I can easily just not hold them that long. The bag they come in is pretty flimsy. It's not as thin as the one my big celestron binos came in but it definitely won't take a beating. If you want to travel around with these in an airport or somewhere they might get banged around in i suggest investing in a more padded bag made of canvas, duck, denim, or twill. I've seen some good ones here on Amazon. If you want to make your own i suggest the above fabrics, a layer of quilt batting, and a layer of insulation batting such as insul-bright to protect it from temperatures. (At least that's what i would do, I'm sure there are tutorials online with other ideas). Like others said, the end caps aren't connected at all and fall off easily. I wish they were connected because they will easily become lost. Over all, I think these are great beginner binos for casual birding/observing. Definitely a pair i would travel with.

Got both the Porro prism and the Roof prism versions of these binoculars for an Alaska cruise. The Porro version is a good bit bulkier but has a brighter view. So if the extra bulk doesn't bother you, then the Porro ones give the clearest/brightest view. But if you want some smaller and more convenient and don't mind it being slightly dimmer then go for the Roof prism version.

On time. Good value

These are very bulky, heavy and difficult to handle!! .. I do have bilateral disabled hands so am generally weaker than normal and am female yet am very functional ; however these are way too difficult for me to maneuver ! Very disappointed!!

These are actually really nice. really clear to look at birds with. A bit heavy but I like that. They are not cheap and flimsy like some

Something is off with the lenses in these binoculars, after focusing there is always a slight double vision effect. I attempted a return through Amazon but they suggested I contact the manufacturer directly. I attempted that several times with no response.

Sehr gut 👍 Weiter empfehlen

No sé si tendrán algún defecto de fabricación o son así originalmente, pero para la noche son un festival de reflejos que no he visto en ningún modelo de prisma porro, ya sean de 8X25 (ojo al dato), 12X50 (teóricamente inferiores) o 8X42 (misma medida). Con esto quiero decir que no me lo invento; he comparado los tres a tiempo real. Y como los compré para el cielo nocturno principalmente, los voy a devolver. Bien en lo demás. Muy buen tacto en todas las partes móviles, correas para el prismático, también correas para su bolsa (detalle genial), bastante buena visión siempre que sea de día, y un precio genial teniendo en cuenta que son totalmente a prueba de agua. Tampoco los veo grandes ni pesados. Me dolió tener que devolverlos, pero ya lo dije; los reflejos de las luces puntuales arruinan la visión nocturna, y eso no tiene perdón cuando dispones de una pupila de salida de 5.25. Su "fully multicoated" es un pufo. Aunque no me sirven, les doy 3 estrellas por su relación precio-construcción y el detalle de la bolsa con correas.
