Hooway 7x50 HD Waterproof Military Marine Binoculars w/Internal Rangefinder & Compass for,Bird Watching,Boating and More(Black)

Visited a friend in Maine who shared his Binoculars with me. I loved them. When I got home I ordered my own and have enjoyed their clarity and ease of focus ever sense. I got the yellow.

Very nice, worth the price. The first one came in the original box but someone had returned it and it was missing pieces. Returned it for a replacement and the second one the box was not opened looked brand new but was missing pieces. So we returned it. The binoculars are wonderful but we were frustrated with the missing parts issues. We are waiting on the 3rd set hopefully it will have all the parts

I bought these for marine use (sailing), but also occasional bird watching. They are excellent for the price and I'd recommend them to others for the good quality range finding, built-in lit compass, waterproof construction, and overall packaging (lens covers, neck strap, also full binocular case.I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of two things: the biggest pain is the fact that focusing is done individually on each eye piece. This is a pain when you are adjusting for closer or further objects which require a re-focus. Won't get a pair of binoculars like this again, assuming there are waterproof options which integrate "both eye" focusing via a central knob, and "offset" focusing for one of the eyes for eye-to-eye differences. The second reason is that there is an air bubble in the compass which obstructs visibility of the compass angle.

I did not know that self-focusing binoculars existed until I went on a sail. I am smitten with the binoculars, and these are affordable. Marketing-wise, binocular companies might provide their product free or at a discount to day-sailing tour companies, because sailing guests living in big-view places will be wowed.

The binoculars are clear and have good value for the money. They are on a large size and a little heavy. They look and feel like a pair of Steiner binoculars.The package comes with 1x binoculars, 1x hi viz yellow strap, 1x case, 2x spare batteries, and a lens cloth. The binoculars have a detachable eyepieces cap and 2 attached front lens caps. The front pivot had a cap which when you remove shows the socket for mounting to a tripod.The lens are focus-free. This means that you won’t have a focus ring in the middle of the binoculars. You need to adjust individual lens to match your eyesight by looking at a distant object and focus the eye pieces one at a time until the object is in focus. Make a note on where your setting are. This can come handy later. This means sharing the binoculars can be a little tricky - especially with someone who is not familiar with how it works.The lens is bright. I can see clearly during the day time as well as at night (not night vision). The lens are clear in the middle but become a little fuzzy on the edge.The binoculars also come with built in compass and rangefinder scales. Both of them are very legible They can be lighted up at night. The compass is stable and usable - I didn’t test its accuracy.I got the with 20% coupon so with sales tax, it costs me almost $100 in 2023. IMHO. It is a good value. Rugged enough to share with others on a trip - as long as you know hot to adjust it for others. The focus free is a nice feature. Its size and weight is on a little large and heavy side. But you get a nice bright big lens in return.

Only used them one time on the pontoon and they are just what we wanted. Added factor if they get wet or fall in the lake the are waterproof and they float.

I liked the product and enjoyed it but within less than a year, one of the lens has black liquid or crack in it and it blocks the view. I would like to contact the seller but can't find any information.

Great all around. No blurring or chromatic aberration, great depth of field for close up and far away objects. The MIL dots are good, but the calculator on the lens ring really makes them super useful. Integrated compass and red light is accurate and easily visible. Everything is comfortable to hold and seems really well built. I've no doubt about the waterproof or floating ratings (although I haven't tested them...).Only gripe is that the MIL dots and compass are only on one lens, so as you bend the binocs to fit your eye width, the crosshairs rotate off horizontal, but you get used to it pretty quick.
