The Bushnell H2O is a compact 10x25 binocular in a dark blue finish. It has multi-coated lenses and textured rubber grips, and it is waterproof. The body is 4.1 inches long and the whole binocular weighs 10.7 oz, which makes it a small pair to carry.

Our take

The H2O is listed as waterproof and has textured rubber grips, in a 10x25 body only 4.1 inches long that weighs 10.7 oz. A small waterproof pair like this is simple to stow near the helm.

From our buying guide

Steiner calls 7x the marine standard. Higher magnification narrows the field of view and makes the image more sensitive to hand shake.

Check before you buy:

  • The water rating comes with its depth and time, since ratings vary widely between makers.
  • The maker says what floats, the body or only a strap, since some make no flotation claim at all.
  • A stabilised pair has a water rating you're happy with, since not every one carries a waterproof rating.
