Actually I had purchased the predecessor to this model approximately 24 years ago. They were repaired under warranty once at about 10 years, when I made the mistake of leaving them in my boat with a black tarp cover, in the New Orleans summer sun for 3 months. Everything in the boat was baked, and the binnoculars developed a fog inside.
Then in 2005 Katrina flooded my St. Bernard home with 12' of water for 3 weeks. The Bushnells had seeped storm surge seawater and dissolved gypsum sheetrock inside. This time Bushnell simply replaced the old warriors with a new modern set.
I think I have put these optics through 2 rather unreasonable trials and Bushnell has stood by them, no questions asked! I am very impressed with a company waranty like that and intend to show my loyalty to Bushnell in return. Good stuff from good people.

I don't know how it could be better. One of our sailing sons said it was the best he's used. I wish I could say something technical and impressive but can only be anecdotal. My Commander, USNR, Rtd. husband was delighted with this birthday present. The price was pretty good, too.

I bought these for my (future) sailboat but in the meantime have used them for nature hikes and such. They produce pretty bright and sharp images. I'm sure there's better binoculars on the market but for the price (a close-out item when I bought them) I'd have to pay much, much more to get something superior to them.
