My pair of Nikon monarch binoculars were bought for me about four months ago by my wife, and straightaway I fell in love with them. I wanted a good pair to use for birdwatching. I’ve spent quite a bit of time researching different models to make sure my wife bought me the ones I really wanted. These binoculars have a really nice feel, they weighed only 699 g, and are extremely well-balanced. I’ve dropped them several times without damaging them.

Not long after I got them I took them with me for a Safari to Kenya, Africa. The first time I used them was in the evening - I was standing on a small hill looking into a valley with the sun going down. Without the binoculars I couldn’t see the small villages or the people, however, when I looked through the Monarch’s I could see all the mud houses in the villages and even make out the faces on the people. The optic quality of the Nikon Monarch Binoculars is really good.

My father in-law, has been bird watching for 30 years and he thinks they are the best thing since sliced bread. I have been invited along with him much more since I bought them. The quality is fantastic for the price you pay . You could easily spend over $2,000 on a pair of top class Nikons but if you broke them or lose them it would really break you. With my Monarchs I wouldn’t loose too much sleep if anything happened to them.

Another other thing is that the way technology is moving the $2,000 optics will be $500 within about 5 years.

There was lunar eclipse last week, and I had a chance to try out my Nikon monarch’s at night. There was a group of us who went out off the city to get a good view of the eclipse, between us all there were three different pairs of good-quality binoculars. My monarchs were by far the best! This was unfortunate for me as it meant I had to share them with the rest of the group for the entire night.

There are several options that are standard on the Monarch binoculars such as being totally waterproof and also having fog prevention on the lenses. These qualities will give you the best piece of equipment possible. These particular binoculars will give you an extended eye relief option that will help you to reduce the amount of strain on the eyes and this is essential for those who intend on using them for a long time, or for those who need to wear a pair of glasses while using them.

The Nikon monarch binoculars are past all my tests with flying colours over and over, I don’t think I’ll ever be switching to a different model - just upgrading these! Highly recommend!
