My wife bought me my first pair of Nikon monarch binoculars a couple of months ago, I was in love with them in minutes. I love going birdwatching, and needed a good pair of binoculars as my old ones just didn’t cut it any more. These binoculars feel really nice, they’re very well-balanced and weigh less than 700 g with the strap on. I’ve already managed to drop them a couple of times and they are not damaged yet.
Three weeks after I got my binoculars I took them with me to Kenya for a safari. I recall standing on a hill looking towards the sun down into a valley. When I looked through my Nikon monarch’s eye could see each house in the village clearly and even some of the people’s faces, without the binoculars though I could see nearly nothing. This proved to me that the quality of the optics in the Nikon monarch binoculars is excellent.
My father-in-law borrowed them on his latest birdwatching trip, he has been birdwatching for over 30 years he reckons these are the best pair he has every used. For the price you pay, the quality of these binoculars is fantastic. A top range model of Nikon binoculars would cost you over $2000, but how would you feel if your broke them or lost them? With these monarchs you would not be too bothered if anything serious happened to them.
You should keep in mind that technology is moving extremely fast, and the 2000 optics now will be down to $500 within a couple of years
I also used my Nikon Monarch Binoculars to view the lunar eclipse last week and had a great view of the moon in shadow. Within our group we had three different pairs of very good quality binoculars to watch the eclipse and the view from my Nikons was by far the best! I had to share them out among everyone for the duration of the eclipse.
The majority of Nikon binoculars are waterproof as standard, they also excellent for proof lenses, and of the best piece of equipment you can get for their price. The monarch range have an extended eye relief option which is great for anybody who will be using them for extended periods of time, or wears glasses while looking through them.
I have to finish by saying that I don’t anticipate ever switching to another model of binoculars. These have passed my tests, again and again, with flying colors. Highly recommended
