4Great for the price
By Teena
So I'm not sure where the digital clock and radio are on these - I think that is for another model of Barska floating binoculars. But I didn't buy them for a clock or a radio, so no matter...
These binoculars are fine for the price, but they are low-end, so don't expect fabulous optics. I use them for kayaking and for just tossing onto my pack for a hike without worry about trashing a good set of binculars. They do float and they bring things a lot closer and they were very inexpensive. I watched an eagle flying high above a mountain and I could tell what kind of eagle it was by the color of its feathers(a golden eagle). Only one thing I could ask and that is to have them in a yellow or some other bright color so I can find them in my backpack and so I can see them better if I happen to lose them in the river.
Again, a good set of binoculars, they float and they allow me to get close up views of wildlife, and very good price. Just what I wanted.
Update 4/12/11 - Apparently the "fully waterproof" and "lifetime guarantee" are not exactly what you would think. I keep these clipped to the deck of my kayak and on a recent week-long trip the binoculars got water inside one of the lenses. I sent an e-mail to Barska and they said if I send the binoculars back with $20 they would repair or replace them. I guess if I had spent a lot of money on them, I would appreciate the replacement for such a low cost, but they were only $30 to begin with. Still deciding...

4Inexpensive but great
By Murph
I purchased these for my son, who was hired as a shellfish warden in New England. They are a low cost answer for the day to day need on the water, and yes they do float.
