I bought some binoculars on Amazon for my Ornithology class at $15. Yesterday I went bird watching with the binoculars and found out they are terrible. I could see a thing with them, they had no focus, and I didn't even saw a bird with them. I was better off using only my eyes. I ended up writing to the company asking them for a refund. This was a novelty for me, because this is the first time I request a refund. Luckily, I had no problems returning the binoculars. I bought them because they were the cheapest ones, compact, and light weighted. Also, it had the magnification I was looking for and the description said that they were for birding. I didn't let this bad experience discouraged me, so I keep looking on Amazon for better binoculars. I had a few on my Ornithology wish list on Amazon at $35, but they had mix reviews or none, and they didn't have any warranty. I figure it wasn't convincing enough, especially considering how bad the first binoculars were. It was decided, I wasn't going consider the binoculars on my Ornithology wish list as an option. Suddenly, without making any effort, some binoculars appeared on the suggestions below. I clicked the image and read the description and concluded that they were just what I was looking for, expect that they were retailed for $50, which is a lot more than $15. I keep reading the description until a got to the last sentence and it turns out that these binoculars have a 18 months warranty (that is a year and a half!). Also, it had seven reviews and they were all five stars. All the customers were satisfied with their orders, and some of them even repurchased. I have to admit, even though $50 is a hard it for my pocket, I prefer to $15 more on a product with warranty and a five star rating than in one that have none of these. In addition, the binoculars original price is $65, so technically it's a good deal considering that the price has been reduced and it comes with a nice warranty. I purchased the binoculars yesterday, right after I tested the first one, and I can wait to have them in my hands. I'll see how the work and I will let you know in another post. Wish me luck!
