Bushnell 7x50 Marine Binoculars - Fogproof & Waterproof Binoculars with Internal Rangefinder & Illuminated Compass for Boating, Sailing and Fishing

Exceptional item. My husband is obsessed with these binoculars. He is a hunter and the compass is essential. I would purchase this again.

Very impressed with these binos. Image quality is excellent, the compass is nicely damped and seems to work well even at fairly large angles above and below the horizontal. Unlike other binos the focusing is via each eye-piece, not a central knob. Only an issue if constantly sharing - which I will discourage crewmates from contemplating! Surprisingly and despite their heft, they do (barely) float - I tested this in a bucket of cold fresh water. They were mostly submerged, but they eyepieces were stubbornly above the water. So should be well above in salt-water. Looks like there's a filter thread for the objectives, something less than 52mm, but I haven't had time to explore properly yet. I like their performance and price-point - anything on a boat is eventually going to get wet, otherwise fail or be dropped. I think these will endure and if they fall overboard and can't be retrieved at this price I won't cry for too long.

These binoculars have been great compared to my much cheaper bushnell's. The clarity and focus is great. They haven't been exposed to water or been dropped so I can't say much about waterproof or shock resistance. The compass is is very fast at stabalizing and helpful in navigating along the shoreline if you need to take bearings to check against a map for reefs etc (for whatever reasons, reefs seem to be marked on maps, but not gps) The light works well. The range finder is fun, but mostly a gimick (IMHO) because its all done in meters and I can't think in meters instead of miles/feet. The only downsides to this product is that the compass is a little hard to read when looking through both eye pieces..much easier if you just look through the left one...and its made in china, so quality may be suspect.

You don't realize how much you miss your binoculars until you try to do some boating / sailing without them. These are well made, armored, waterproof, and have excellent light transmission. I have 2 sets now, one for the boat and one for on land. Seller performed as advertised, price reflects a good value. These are great sailing binoculars. Recommended!

Well priced marine binoculars with good field of vision, crisp optics and an attractive look. The built-in compass heading device is a huge help in taking bearings on various chartable objects. My only quibble (and it's a small one) is that it is always better if the lens caps come attached to the binoculars because they otherwise invariably get misplaced. All in all this is an excellent buy for boating and I'm a lot more comfortable using these than I am with my $1200 image stabilized Canon at this very attractive price.

I purchased 3 sets of these binoculars because I loved them so much BUT each broke and Bushnell refused to cover repair under the limited warranty. This is the last one I buy. Each binocular dropped accidentally once exactly 1 foot ( I measured it) from the cushion on my boat to the fiberglass bottom of my boat. Each set of binoculars broke with this minor impact. I purchased this set of binoculars because it said they were rugged which obviously they are not. Never again.

At first, I really liked these Bushnell binoculars. They feel solid, with nonslip coating, the compass seems high quality, optics are excellent. But immediately, the light switch was broken. There were no useful instructions about inserting the batteries (minor) and the battery contact was scratched as if by a pocket knife. The cheap plastic battery cap is almost impossible to install correctly and is easily damaged. It seems to be missing a negative battery contact, also. These binoculars seem to be used. They were shipped in just a plastic bag with no padding at all!!!! The thin packaging was very old-looking. I really wanted to like these, but the light system is cheap and shoddy. I thought about sending them for repair, but I see that other people have received bad service from Bushnell, so I will return them. UPDATE: I bought a second pair of these Marine 7 x 50 binoculars directly from Bushnell. They work perfectly! I am convinced that the first pair that I received from the company that sells through Amazon were used and damaged and the company must have known this, and falsely represented them as new. This company should be banned from selling on Amazon!!! SIDE NOTE: The batteries should be positive side up. The battery cap is cheap and still easily damaged, and difficult to install without damaging it. The compass light is red, so you will know for sure if it is working. So far, I really like these.

Great product. Fast shipping and the best price in the market.

Bought for a navy graduate and they were very well received. Great product, perfect for nautical use.

Not as per description having a reticle is not a range finding binocular

Binocolo specialistico marino. Nato marino con bussola integrata e non sporgente stabile e precisa immersa nel fluido. In mano si tiene molto bene e non ha sporgenze. Altri modelli hanno la bussola molto sporgente tale da risultare, alle volte, scomoda. Binocolo che soddisfa pienamente... ad un prezzo accettabile. UNICO APPUNTO: MI E' ARRIVATA LA SUA SCATOLA ORIGINALE IFILATA DENTRO UNA BUSTA DI CARTA. INCREDIBILE !. UNO STRUMENTO OTTICO SENZA UN'ADEGUATO IMBALLAGGIO !. FORTUNATAMENTE E' ARRIVATO PERFETTO. RINGRAZIO LA LOGISTICA ED IL TRASPORTATORE CON LE MANI DI VELLUTO. Altri oggetti, assolutamente non delicati, sono arrivati dentro scatole enormi piene di imballaggio. Che strano.
