 Terrible service December 31, 2008
No manual or instructions are included. The light is broken on mine. I called and emailed customer service. They don't reply. Don't buy unless you want to get stuck with expensive junk.
 Good waterproof binoculars December 29, 2008
There are many binoculars on the market in various price ranges and it can be challenge to pick a pair that's right for you. Despite my research beforehand, in hindsite these are not the best choice for me. I know now I would have preferred a pair that has autofocus or at least one that adjusts both lenses simultaneously in the middle. Having to adjust each lens individually as a I pan around, is a real pain. Second I'd forgo the compass, I don't need one and it blocks part of my view on the right side.
Also image stabilization is a nice but expensive feature, and so is image capture, if you wish to shoot pictures of what you see. These are things all worth looking into depending on your needs.
This unit is well constructed, comes with a nice case and strap, feels like sturdy rubber, looks good and the overall vision with it is good Its selling point is it's relatively low price and high magnification and the fact that its both waterproof and it floats. This would be an excellent binocular to take on a boat, or to the beach or to a swimming pool, or snorkeling, etc.
My biggest complaint is that the compass only works in the light, its useless at night, but it always blocks some of the view on the right side. The other big negative is having to adjust each lens separately. This is the design in many binoculars and some people prefer it this way, but its annoying if you are panning around alot checking different distances.
Overall this is a good attractive binocular that should work well with water related uses.
A+ binoculars, no so much on the compass. November 25, 2008

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.

I've been using 7x35 binoculars for several years. I found that during the dusky part of the evening when the temperatures cooled down and the birds flocked to my feeders, they were hard to see. So I did some research on a new set of binoculars.
Compared to the 7x35 the light quality is perfect. After focusing the Barska, I centered on my bird bath and actually ducked my head to avoid the water being splashed by the Grackle 40 feet away.
Lets just say, I'm very pleased with this purchase.
