Bought these as a gift for my son, as he had been using mine for around a year and wanted the same quality. These feel great in the hand and optically crisp and clear for the price range both close up and distance.

These binoculars are well made and perfect for long distance viewing

Simply stunning binoculars. Our most popular binoculars especially for bird watchers. The clarity and sharpness is amazing.

Light in weight and good definition of objects; Value for money; A quality product

No

I have had this product for several years and it is impressive. Besides the warranty this item exceeds my expectation for it' construction and build. It is a very solid binoculars and the roof prism is different from the Monarch 3. It does not have a yellowish hue from the silver roof prism.

First quality pair I've owned. Wife game them to me for Christmas in 2013. Took the place of a 50-year old no name brand with was pretty good, but the Nikon kicks them in the knees. Typical targets are 200 - 300 yards away and they do everything I'd want.

Very bright and sharp optics; Easy to focus; A true joy to use

Lens caps don't stay on as well as I'd like; Center pivot barely makes the eye pieces wide enough for me

I bought one pair of the Nikon 8x42 Monarch 5 binoculars a month ago and my wife and I loved them so much we were fighting over them so I just ordered a second pair from B&H! I've never owned binoculars this large before but it only took a few minutes to get completely used to the weight and size,...

The Nikon Monarch 5 10x42 binoculars are a great product.I bought a pair last year and my wife and I liked them so much we got ourselves another pair recently. We also convinced three of our friends to get a pair.

Close Focus; Compact; Lightweight; Quality Lenses; Strong Construction; Waterproof

Not great with glasses

I have been very pleased with my purchase. I used them last weekend at the inaugural Indianapolis Grand Prix Indy car race for the first time. Great clarity, can't wait for my annual fall fishing trip to Montana.

Close Focus; Lightweight; Multiple Uses; Quality Lenses; Works Well With Glasses

no cons

Have a lot of binoculars for different purposes but for clarity and contrast these are in a class of their own. I now use these in preference to my bigger, heavier and theoretically superior binoculars.

Easy to use; Compact; Build quality

Battery life
