5 Stars Binocular
I broke in these binocular at Yosemite Park. These binoculars worked perfectly. Did not have any complaints about the binoculars.

5 Stars a closer look
THIS PRODUCT IS EXACTLY AS ADVERTISED. IN SNOW WHILE ON THE SLOPES THERE WAS NO FOG OR WATER. EVERYTHING WAS CLEAR. THIS IS A VERY GOOD PRODUCT.

5 Stars Great Binoculars
For the money these are fantastic binoculars! This is our first time to buy binoculars so I really have no way to compare them to anything fancier or pricier. So I guess I’d have to say they are great beginners.

We just returned from a beach vacation and I can say we are completely, 100% satisfied with these. I would recommend them to friends!

5 Stars Excellent for viewing
Crisp and clear views regardless of close up or not. Absolutely the best for wildlife viewing; it is as if they are right in front of you! Easy adjustment, easy to hold; PERFECT case, protective covers are a brilliant design. Tremendous value for the exceptional quality of these binocs!

5 Stars Binoculars
I have used these binoculars for about 2 years now. I use it for hunting. The optics are ok. What is impressive is that this pair of binoculars are tough and water-proof. I have dropped them in a creek on one occasion and they have not failed. Now that’s what I call good quality.

4 Stars Good glasses to have in the canoe
My goal was to have an relatively inexpensive pair of binoculars to have with me in my canoe whenever I paddle. This pair has filled that need admirably. For my purpose the waterproof feature was necessary. The small lens lets in plenty if light during the day so that has not been a problem; I suppose there is a point towards getting dark that these would not work well but a better larger lens pair would, but certainly not at this price. I would like a slightly larger field of vision, and perhaps more weight would make holding them steady easier, but as noted for my use these are fine; mainly getting a better look at birds in the distance. Small and light makes them easy to keep around.

5 Stars Excellent Value Priced Binocular
Did some reasearch on binoculars, got too much information, needed a basic model to look far down the street and at sights around town. Was a good model to choose. Solid and good optics. Not too expensive. Waterproof design was a plus for me since I live in Florida and we have very humid summers. No complaints. Might be too low power for real serious viewing.

3 Stars OK binoculars but not a winner
I”ve got 50 year’s experience with good binoculars and wanted a knock-around, inexpensive pair that was waterproof, fit in my pocket like these clamshells, and had good optics (obviously). I’ve generally used Nikon and Bushnells, so I started with those. While these H2O binocs are usable, and actually better than similarly priced Nikons, they are heavy and the optics are not as good as what I finally decided on – Vortex Typhoons – which are a GREAT binocular for the money. I was amazed at the quality of the Vortex over the Nikons and Bushnells.

5 Stars On the Spot
What a pleasant surprise. For years, I’ve watched other guys lug around these bulky, 5 to 10-pound spotting scopes in suitcases so they can see if their bullets hit the bullseye at 100yds. After reading a few positive reviews, I opted to give this pint-size scope a try. It is a definite winner! It focuses easily and is as clear as any scope I’ve ever used. It is a straight view as opposed to the scopes with eye pieces that angle upward toward the eye. This product is a rare combination of bargain price and quality. The tripod is also good quality. This scope comes with a nylon carrying case that fits nicely into the side pocket, end up, of my SMALL range bag – and it only takes up half of the pocket at that. I hang my ear protectors over the portion sticking up. This way you don’t have to start unzipping and digging into your bag for ear protectors (MANDATORY) before entering an indoor range. It weighs less than one box of some ammunition or a brick of .22LR.

4 Stars Alpen 20×50 Waterproof Mini-Spotting Scope
Delivery time was earlier than expected and packaging was excellant. I can clearly see target hits out to 100 yards using .22 and .17 cal ammo. Optics are great. It comes with a very nice carrying case and cleaning cloth. The only downside was the tripod, which seems a little flimsy. All in all, I am extermely pleased with this purchase.

5 Stars Very satisfied
I bought this scope to check my shooting in the pistol yard at 25 meters using standard ISSF targets. Even the little holes made with a .22 bullet are visible with this nice scope. Previously I used a 10x monocular but it was not a big help. I am really happy with this purchase.

5 Stars This seems to be the best for the money.
I bought this spotting scope to be used at the shooting range. You can spend more, but not buy better.

5 Stars A very good compact monocular
Alpen 20×50 Waterproof Mini-Spotting Scope is a very good compact and very affordable monocular. The objective lens is big enough so it still usable under a low light condition such as in a cloudy day. It has fully coated optics with porro prism which is a plus for me. The 20x magnification may be troublesome for someone who does not have a steady hand. But it has tripod mount connector, so you can simply attached it to the tripod that comes with it or other tripod/monopod. I use it sometimes to see the sky on a clear night mounted on my full size tripod. The free tripod that comes with it is very weak, so I mostly use it for my PNS digital camera.

4 Stars Exactly What I Wanted
These binoculars are exactly what I needed and exactly what I expected after reading about them and researching on line. Excellent quality (a bit heavy but well made). I am using these for bird watching as well as on my boat (which was the main reason I needed waterproof). So far, so good.

1 Star Great if you want to see double
Received as a gift. Unfortunately no matter how I adjust the binoculars, I can not get the left and right images to align. One image is up and left and one down and right. I own 2 other pair of binoculars that don’t have this problem. Images are bright and clear, but seeing two of everything makes these binoculars useless.

3 Stars Not bad, Just don’t breath
Nice clarity, compact, and focus is easy to get adjusted. I’m sure they’re waterproof as advertised because I’ve been out in the rain with them and they still work. However, they are NOT fogproof as advertised. I was siting in a tree stand deer hunting on a cool damp morning and lifted the binocs to my face to look around. I got about 3 seconds of good viewing before they completely fogged over to the point I couldn’t see anything through them. I might try treating the lenses with rain-x or something and hope for the best. The #1 reason I bought these was the claim Bushnell made about fogproof. To say the least I’m a bit disapointed.

5 Stars My wife can see!!
Very nice binoculars at a great price. My wife has always had difficulty with seeing birds on our nature walks. These binoculars deliver a crystal clear view and are easy to adjust. Very quality construction. They feel like they will last for years.

5 Stars Compact and perfect for outdoors and any but the most demanding birding
I can understand some field biologist saying they need Swarovski binoculars and none of those should even be reading this review. For all else, I can easily recommend this product. I had used porro prism binocs earlier but these roof prism ones are so much more convenient and lighter to carry during hours of treks. And I personally tested the waterproofing claims of this product when I dropped them into shallow waters during a kayaking trip – I wiped all the water off and it was good to go in moments.

There are a couple of issues though – these lenses fogged easily enough during early morning cold temperatures. Dont know if there are any better fog-free options there but that feature isnt its best strength. Also, the neck cord Bushnell packs it with looks really cheap – I would bet my binocs will definitely outlast it. And thats a concern when all that is holding the binocs from falling down is this band.

Overall, a very good deal – I bought the 10×42 H2O when they came down to about $48 in Sep 08. So, it was a brilliant deal I got. But I’d buy it again if something happened to my current one and I had to pay $85 for new ones.
