I took these with me on my cruise and they were WONDERFUL. I was able to see all the fine details of the Bald Eagle's feathers! I missed having them with me when we had an opportunity to see whales. My mom had brought with her several other pairs...these were the best by far.

I just unboxed my Hooway 7x50 waterproof, fog proof military marine binoculars and so far I like what I see. The distance feature seems confusing uses too much math for formulas for my liking. I also removed the illumination batteries from the binoculars as I doing want them leaking and messing up the unit. I placed them in a small plastic baggie and put them in the case so if they leak they won't ruin the binoculars. I like the eye glass feature for people wearing glasses as well the ability to individually adjust each eye's focus values. They seem very well made and solid. Also comes with a decent case, strap for case, strap for binoculars and a small instruction manual. I had yet to try and see if they float in water as advertised. I will be using these on our new 38' motor yacht as we cruise southwest FL and the keys. I like the cross hair feature in the viewing glass too. Would probably buy these again.

It is a good quality useful tool, and I am keeping it. But I quickly realized that for actual marine use, I would like to have something that has image stabilization. In high waves it is not easy to look at objects far away.

Be Honest...:
We use on our boat. Stays rather steady even with the movement of water. Binoculars have been water splashed many times without any issues.
For the price, usefulness and sturdy feel in hand, we would definitely buy again.

Good for the price. Not Great. Noticeable aberration on the outer third of the field of view, on both sides. This isn’t so bad on land, but in an open scape like on the water, it’s kind of a pain.
The compass is not really in the ballpark with out ship’s compass. Within 10 degrees I’d be happy, this is within 50 degrees. I’ll be returning and getting something more professional.

Very good for non stabilizing work well in a marine environment day and night.

John Hayford:
Good for the price but as others have reported no way are they "Fog Proof". They eye pieces steam up quickly at first so you have to leave a gap to allow some ventilation. I hope this is not a problem out at sea.
The batteries were the wrong size and did not make touch with the contacts. Pushing them to one side made contact but the switch was faulty and the light flickered so had to return the first pair.
No comment on the range finder as not a requirement for me.
Pros
Really good daytime vision ideal for sailing.
Good at night too.
Cons
The Compass is not easy to see unless eyes positioned slightly low.
Quickly fog up
Bit heavy

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...
