Bushnell Marine 7x50 Binocular Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought these for triangulating my position on charts while sailing. I was a little worried that the internal compass would be hard to read as my 40+ year old eyes need reading glasses to read newspapers, computer screens etcetera. I have had no problem whatsoever. The compass is large and easy to read. The compass has an internal light which is a great added feature. I did an overnight sail in March and would have had a very difficult time guessing where I was without this feature. I never use the reticle for judging distance. I suppose I could get the instructions out to do the math but it hardly seems worth it because the compass allows me to locate my position very easily.

Nikon OceanPro 7x50 Waterproof Binoculars with Compass Review

(More customer reviews)This is a really great product. The clarity is incredible and does not degrade in low light.
The product differences between CF and IF is really hard to find. IF is individual focus. CF is great is the primary uses does not require corrective lenses. The IF is good for those who wear corrective lenses. The eyeglasses denoted on the Nikon site is indicative of soft compactable eyepieces. These allow a person who is wearing corrective eye glasses to get their eyes to the appropriate focal point.
Something smart that is not noted in the documentation. The low light compass illumination is red to lessen the white wash of a white light in the eye piece. - Really smart!
Great lenses, the compass is quite stable, the low light illumination is clever, the outside material is easy to grip in slipper situations, the padded (and floating) neck strap is very comfortable.
The height and width scales are clear and easy to use. The needed values required to gauge accurate heights and width make it very unlikely that that feature will ever be used. That being said, the scales are clear and available.
Here is the bad. The documentation is rock bottom bad. An insert instructing the customer to "go find some website that has better documentation than we do" would be more truthful. The documentation is polylinguistic but done with very poor methodology. They do not cover all the functionality referenced in forums and blogs. The pictures are not product specific so the customer is left with the idea that parts are missing from thier box. The documentation is just awful. That is the only reason I did not give this product a 5 out of 5 stars.
If the documentation at [...] or those included in the box were remotely usable I would have rated the product better. Product alone, 5 out of 5.
