H2O 12x42mm Binoculars, Waterproof and Fogproof Binoculars for Boating, Hiking, and Camping

I tend to stress out about details and I did WAY too much research to still be so confused before I bought these. A friend had suggested this brand but I was torn between several different magnifications and outer lense sizes. Another friend finally joked - "These are binoculars, not the Hubble telescope- make a decision already!" So I did, and these were perfect!. Easy to use, very well made, large enough field of view to find things quickly and high enough magnification to really see detail while at the same time being low enough magnification to not have much trouble holding them still enough not to experience shaking. I just love these! Also, I initially had concerns about them being too bulky or heavy to want to cart around. These are full sized binoculars but not terribly heavy and the neck strap is comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to carry these on a long extended hike. I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase. (Hint - you can attach the eyepiece cover to the neck strap. That way it will hang loose and out of your way but still be attached and you won’t have to worry about losing it. )

Very good binoculars for the price point. Great for watching birds and other wildlife.

I just got these binoculars a couple of days ago. I'm very impressed with the solid feel, light weight and smaller size for the cost. The optical quality is good. (I'm photogrpaher who has paid big busks on lenses, I appreciate good optics.) The focusing is internal, no sliding lens barrel on the outside. The waterproofing and nitrogen charging should help them hold up in the tropical environment I live in. (dust and fungus growth inside lenses happens too quickly here.) I really like the way the eyecups operate for eyeglass wearers. I did find that the diopter adjustment is very stiff, too stiff. I thought the case could be a little larger and better padded as well but for the price, not a big deal. One thing to note is that the listing didn't mention a case. There IS a case included.

Just received them and we liked them so much that I just ordered a 2nd one for my husband. Great for the price. Not heavy and a pretty clear image.

Absolutely love these binoculars. I use them every time I go to a play or the opera. I love them. They’re amazing.

Bushnell H2O 10x42 Binoculars are well built and easily adjustable for excellent viewing. A great value especially if purchased on sale!

Very clear and crisp images. Bright and natural looking, too. Comfortable and lightweight. I recommend for birdwatching and enjoying nature on a walk. Great for camping. Easy to focus.

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.
