I have been using a Nikon Aculon binoculars since 2012 when I started birding watching. I wanted to upgrade my binoculars and I couldn't think of any other brand other than Nikon. So I chose this Monarch M7 8x42. I always carry a binocular and camera while birding which was a burden for my neck. So when I saw the harness offer in B&H for the binocular I wanted I immediately ordered and got the best one. The image quality and the colour is amazing. This monarch M7 has taken my birding to a next level. I am definitely happy about it. B&H service also was wonderful.

I went from Aculons 10x42 to Prostaff 3s 10x42 to these (M7 8x42) within two years and each upgrade has come with incremental performance that accurately reflects their respective price points.Right away you can tell these have what I would consider "pro glass". The prostaffs have a nice and bright image and its reasonably sharp but these blow the prostaffs out of the water. The image is great, vivid, super bright, extremely clear, and razor sharp. Chromatic abberation/diffraction is well controlled with the m7 because of the ED glass and this was the main reason for my upgrade from the prostaff.

Chromatic abberation/diffraction is well controlled with the m7 because of the ED glass and this was the main reason for my upgrade from the prostaff. The prostaff suffered heavily from this and would distract from the experience with any moderate contrast heavy sceneries.The rubber armor seams to be smooth and less 'grippy' than the prostaff. I dont know how I feel about that. I really liked the grippy soft texture from the Prostaffs so to me this feels like a downgrade. I presume its to make these easier to clean. I wont dock this as a minus in my review because thats a subjective feel. Dont get me wrong. These are incredibly well made and feel like a quality optical instrument still.The hinge to adjust the IPD is really stiff but smooth, and I like that a lot. Once I have them dialed in to my eyes, they stay there. Same thing with the diopter adjustment since it locks. I found it way too easy to change these with the prostaffs. One thing that I didnt really like is you cant adjust the diopter with the eyecups all the way recessed (as you would have them if you were to wear glasses, like I do). So the only way to adjust the diopter is to move the eyecup to the next open setting to be able to unlock the diopter dial and adjust like that. Very minor inconvenience and its only a one time thing so no big deal.Focusing is smooth and relatively fast. You dont have to turn the dial much to move from object to object.The strap sucks, but what optical device comes with a nice strap? None of my cameras came with a nice strap neither. I use the peak design strap lite for mine.The case is nice. It fits snug and feels like quality. I was thinking of investing in a nicer case but with these I think they will do for now until im feeling fancier.I want to go over the image again. The image is fantastic! Another thing is the field of view is over 8 degrees. It comes out to over 400ft wide at a distance of 1000ft. Sorry I dont memorize the specs but this really increases the enjoyment of the bins. Seeing so much of the scenery is fantastic for finding your object (be it a bird or elk).If you are starting out, there is nothing really wrong with getting the prostaffs to start off with. The cheap price is great if you are unsure that you are going to get into using binoculars or if they are going to be for very casual viewing. But, if you know you want to get into birding (for example) or you already have experience with bins and want to upgrade, I would highly recommend these. The next step after these are bins in the $1000 range. For mid range price, these are a great value.

I love the redesigned Monarch binoculars. They perform really well and look and feel great. I am giving these binoculars 4 stars due to the freakishly long strap. Even the padding is ridiculously long. If you are under six feet tall you should consider buying a different strap, otherwise you will have to adjust them so much that the excess ends flop off the sides and get in the way. Hard to understand why they changed the strap specs so dramatically for these otherwise wonderful binoculars.

Hard to understand why they changed the strap specs so dramatically for these otherwise wonderful binoculars.
The optics on the Nikon Monarch are clear, and I am pleased with the overall quality. What frustrates me is the cover for the eyepieces. They are rather solid plastic and the slightest bump knocks them off the eyepieces. I think the design is for easy removal, but the result is an annoying aspect on what otherwise is a fine binocular.
This is my second pair of Monarchs. I wore the first pair out--to the point the eyepieces were falling off and the lens coatings were starting to fail. This is an upgrade from my first pair--appreciate the wider field of view. The M7s let in plenty of light, the color is good and the focus sharp. I hope these last a little longer than the first pair, but I guess 15 years of hard use isn't too bad.
My wife and I have been birding together for 50 years and have been through many iterations of binoculars from cheap 7X35s from Sears to the decent 8X42s in the $200 -$300 range. These M7 Monarchs are a noticeable up-grade that will likely be the last we will need or want. We watch the birds around the lake behind our house from our breakfast-room out through the screen of our pool-cage. The light gathering capacity of the glasses makes the screening of the cage disappear. Our older $250 glasses do not compare. We love our 2022 Christmas presents to ourselves.
These are very nice binoculars, IF you don't wear eyeglasses. I had a chance to try them out and while they felt great in the hand, they were not a pleasure to use due to Eye Relief issues. They only offer 15 mm of eye relief which means they will black out when you use them with glasses. Otherwise, they are really nice binoculars. Love my Pentax binoculars that offer 22mm eye relief.
These are amazing - so light and compact! They fit easily into some extra space in my camera backpack. Optics and build quality are to Nikon standards. The smaller lenses will be fine for me - no lack of light on the water, where I will be using them most. Minimum focus distance is so short - should I look at bugs or something? Edge clarity might still need some dialing in...will tweak that over time.
I have an old pair of budget Bushnell 10x50 binoculars. My family and I recently got interested in birding, and it was time to upgrade our binoculars. These have exceeded expectations and are so much better than our old pair. I particularly like the wide field of view and a contrasty and colorful image that these produce. Focusing mechanism is also very nice, and these can focus much closer. I thought about getting M5 but was convinced by a wider field of view in M7. We took these out for a walk in the woods, and observed many birds. Now we want to go out and use these more! What a nice incentive to spend time outdoors.
These are just the right size for finding feathered friends.At about one-half the price, you get most of the specifications of Nikon's flagship optics. Objective lens covers remain in place solidly and are easier to pull down than to secure. More importantly, they will not get lost. Visually, even near objects (1.8 meters) are clear.The eyepiece covers always fit regardless of pupil-pupil adjustment. Important: make up a small webbing strap to secure them to the body. Their other lug is useless. The split lug could lose them.
