- Large 42 mm objective lenses with 10x magnification deliver a vast field of view; 10x magnification brings objects 10 times closer than they actually are
- At 1,000 yards, the binoculars deliver a very wide 362 ft. field of view so you can see more of the scene in greater detail, making it easier to locate your subject
- Dielectric, high-reflective, multilayer prism coating ensures superior transmittance uniformity across the visible range, resulting in brighter images and more natural colors
- Nikon ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass virtually eliminates common distortion, chromatic aberrations and color fringing for clear, high-resolution views in nearly any lighting
- Roof prisms have a phase-corrected coating applied to the prism surfaces for higher resolutions
- Oil- and water-repellent coating applied to both the objective and eyepiece lenses makes it easy to wipe away moisture, fingerprints and smudges
- Large, smooth-spinning central focus knob allows simple, precise focus adjustment down to 8.2 ft.
- Comfortable high-eye point design leaves sufficient space between your brow and the eyecups for a clear field of view, even when you're wearing glasses
- Convenient turn-and-slide operation makes it easy to get the durable rubber eyecups right where you want them for maximum comfort and field of view
- Enhanced rubber-armored body provides nonslip grip and protection from bumps and bruises
- Binoculars are nitrogen-filled and O-ring–sealed for fog-free performance

Binoculars for Pleasure and/or Safety
3 years ago
I am more than satisfied with my purchase of these binoculars. They are an excellent addition to my hiking and backpacking equipment. The clarity and magnification are just what I needed to observe the scenery and/or provide me with a look ahead on a wilderness trail. I carry them for both pleasure and safety. For example, I prefer to observe a bear from distance and alter my course relative to map and compass. I highly recommend them.

Worth twice the price

At this price point I couldn't be happier with the optics, fit, and finish. A couple days ago I was out with some bird-watching friends and we compared our favorite 10x40s and 10x50s. The Monarchs had the most impressive optics by far.

Great quality mid-range optics

Great quality optics for birdwatching at a moderate price! We’ve owned an earlier version for 10+ years with great success! Rugged and bright; very close to the level of binocs in the $1000-1200 range!

Wow... These are REALLY nice!

I'm not a binocular expert. I have a very old cheap Bushnell 10x25 binocular and wanted something better. These are much better... but they should be based on the price. I considered the Nocs brand but landed on these because, based on the data I was able to find, I felt these were worth the additional $200. I probably would have bought something less expensive except for the REI 20% Member Discount Sale. Even tough these are 10x (like the Bushnells) they are slightly more magnified. I suspect these are 10x and that the Bushnells are not quite 10x. The larger objective (42 vs 25) makes these much easier to find your target. They are larger and weigh more but they are still compact and light enough to carry on a short hike. But most of the time I will be using these on the front porch to watch the wildlife. The fit/finish/quality is excellent. The neck strap is comfortable and I appreciate the protection that the caps and case will provide. However when I take them on a hike I will use a padded 6x6 Maxpedition pouch (perfect fit) because I like to carry stuff on a belt and I don't trust the belt loop on the Nikon case. These are also easy to use with my glasses. I always took my glasses of to use the Bushnells and I don't need to with these. These actually seem to work better with a little space to your eyes.

I was told these were light-gathering lenses and I wasn’t disappointed. Having used Nikon cameras for almost 50 years, my expectations are high. So far they are met

Nice but noticeable CA
3 years ago
I wasn't able to perform a side-by-side comparison before purchasing these binoculars and when I received them, I immediately tested them out. Taking them out of the box, I could tell the build quality was very nice. Optically, the first thing I noticed was very apparent chromatic aberration which was very distracting. Besides CA, the image was clear and crisp. I'm undecided if I'll keep these or look elsewhere. I hear the Vortex Viper's are a better alternative.

Amazing binoculars!

Been using them for a few months now and love them. The image is crisp, the colors pop and the magnification is perfect for Birding. I made the mistake of going with 8 x 42 for my first pair of Binoculars after people had said 10x is too hard to hold steady or too difficult to locate birds close up but I haven't noticed any of those problems with the 10x. With the 8x, I just couldnt see the small details of birds which would lead to miss identifying them at times and there's no chance of seeing anything useful if your at a Reservoir and the birds are far out on the water with the 8x. The size and weight for a 10x is great. They are compact and hold very well in your hands. Focus wheel is super smooth and easy to fine tune with far away subjects. The compact size is great for putting in your pack without taking up a lot of space. They are a bit heavier than the ProStaff line or M5s but that's ok because you're getting better quality images with the extra glass that's inside. I wear glasses and had troubles with other brands and the eye relief but no issues with these.

Great value for high quality binoculars

The Nikon Monarch M7 binoculars are a great value. I chose the M7 over the M5 for a wider field of view and more sophisticated coating of the prisms. The 10x42 binoculars are quite bright, very clear and satisfy my needs. I'm sure that you get more if you either go further up the line with Nikon, or move to one of the German optical brands but I believe that the gains are small relative to the cost and these are great for my needs.
