HOOWAY Waterproof 7x50 Marine Binoculars, Binoculars with w/Internal Rangefinder & Compass for Navigation,Boating(Black)

Tried this one and compared to the german without the compass. I didn't see any difference that justify the extra money. Maybe on the long run as for sure the other one seems more sturdy. Do not rely however on the compas which seems a bit approximate, sometimes off by 5 deg...

I use it for boating

Had my eyes on these binoculars for a long time. Firstly they feel well made but slightly heavier than I expected, but not too bad. I like the carry case that they come with. Easy to use, Individual lens focus, which I wanted as I have better sight in my left eye than the right one, so this made for perfect vision. Excellent bright, clear images, great for birds, boats, sport etc. Excellent value. Love that they float if dropped in the water and that you can estimate the distance from an object if it's size is known. Compass is a nice addition and seems accurate. They came with a spare set of batteries for the compass light if required. I would recommend these binoculars, best I've had to date.

I would buy again

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

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.
