BARSKA Deep Sea Marine Binoculars – 7x50 Waterproof Floating Binoculars with Internal Compass & Rangefinder for Boating, Sailing, Fishing, Hunting

These are great. The eye pieces focus individually which is great if for anyone with less then perfect vision. I was worried that would be annoying because I thought I'd constantly have to adjust them both, but the depth of field is so large that I never had to touch them. The batteries install easily to illuminate the compass for nighttime use. My wife had fun testing our the floating/water proof claim. Everything worked great. We used these for a sea kayaking tour and whale watching tour in case you were wondering.

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.

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.

Manual distance calculator relies on you knowing the size of the object you are viewing. Too complicated for fast distance calculating.

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.

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.

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.

The best optics for the price. Range finder is not as expected but despite that the binoculars are worth the price. Good direction indicator within the view finder and with a light. Easy to focus, watch boats on the river and birds. Excellent and would recommend them to anyone. Just do not expect to be able to measure your golf distances. Good early night goggles as they seem to allow more light than many glasses costing much more. Perfect for boating, bird watching, or even touring.

Muy bien todo ok

such great value for money, great glasses

Used it for marine operation like seatrials. It’s worth the price. It comes with a bag and lens protector. I’m happy with the purchase. Delivery time was also fast and in good order.

Buen producto, aunque viene sin pilas, y ni en las instrucciones ni en la web dice qué pilas usa: necesita dos pilas de moneda LR 43. Good product, although it doesn't come with batteries, and the instructions or website don't specify which batteries it needs: It requires two 1.5V LR43 coin cells.
