Had these for about 2 months. Same deal, Price. Refurbished but it arrive "like new".
I use it often when I hike and go mountain biking.
These are the first pair of binoculars i owned myself.
Build quality is great. Dropped it a few times and thought it would be damaged but it stood strong.
Comes with a case that has a belt strap and lens covers (i dont use them anymore because i lost one during a cycling session, but the carrying case does the job well protecting them)
Magnification of lens is enough to check out wild life from a distance and gaze at the moon at night!
Fyi. These are manufactured in china now, not anymore 🇯🇵. Not an issue with me tho
Honestly, great for the price! And does the job well. No complaints
Wouldn't a 10x50 be extremely jerky when used hand held?
Both have the same 10x magnification, so they both magnify any handholding motion the same amount. The 10x50 lets in more light, and, maybe by also being heavier, may actually be more stable when hand-holding and viewing.
But there are other factors to consider other than magnification and light-gathering ability, such as quality of the lens and therefore the imaging quality, as well as compactness and weight, which may be a significant factor depending on how you plan to use the binoculars. The 10x50 weighs about three times as much as the 10x25 Nikon.
Bought these at this price a few months back despite having a few different brands. These are garbage and collect dust on a shelf. Optics are not clear nor stable. PIA to look through.

I might add that the "50" in 10x50 is also going to mean a larger field of view. A 10x25 binoc is going to be harder to hold on a moving target, like wildlife, flock of geese or a car race but would be fine for "what's that street sign say in the distance?" Match up what you plan to use them for to avoid a frustrating experience.

My suggestion is to get these 10x25 if you're looking for smaller, lighter and waterproof, otherwise the SkyGenius deal is the way to go.
