Well worth the money! I’ve just got a pair of Vortex Razor HD on sale $949. and this Athlon Cronus is as clear as the Vortex Razor Hd and around Maybe 2oz heavier. I didn’t know just how good the Athlon Cronus binoculars were until I compared them to more expensive binoculars.
save yourself some money put it towards a good scope instead . I just wanted a pair of vortex UHD but the weight was heavy so went with Razor HD but trust me the Athlon Cronus is a great pair of hunting binoculars.

Feels great in the hands ,lightweight rubber coating is very nice. I would recommend spending a little extra and bumping up to the next level or two. Not as clear as I was hoping for. Don’t get me wrong. I have a higher tier of Nikon binoculars that I love that are actually first run of monarchs that came out. These ProStaff binoculars are also loosening up. You have to readjust the setting for your eyes on the hinge.

Perfect size for easy storage and long enough for my bigger chokes.

For what you get especially if you grab these on sale with promo code + OP free shipping you would be hard-pressed to find another binocular brand at this price.
Now that said from my research on the Internet which is forms and reviews /videos made my decision to try Athlon. Now after comparing these Athlon Cronus 10x42 they have beat out my older Nikon monarchs 8x42 (not ED glass) in glass clarity and the edge to edge sharpness /clarity . My review is only a few day of just messing around the farm and hunting land not used during hunts yet. Time will tell! I’ve had my Nikons for years I’m sure the quality has improved on the newer Nikon models. My Nikon’s will still be in my hunting backpack because of larger field of view less weight and size being 8x42 and just a better softer feel. I feel that in cold weather The Athlon will definitely have a cold feel due to the build material and definitely heavier weight but will not be hanging on my neck purchase decision was for use in box stand and wildlife viewing from home only. Maybe later Athlon Cronus will offer a 8x42 and a lightweight model .
