Bushnell's warranty is utterly useless. If the binoculars go out of collamination they'll tell you they won't honor their warranty because you must have dropped it and Bushnell is really good at denying warranty that's why they got an F rating according to the BBB for screwing over way too many of their own customers over warranty denials which seems to be an ongoing thing for them over the past decade. Nikon doesn't seem too far from Bushnell either not wanting to offer a realistic warranty and screwed a lot of their own loyal riflescope customers no longer honoring their lifetime warranty. Celestron or Vanguard makes you pay them a fee to process any warranty claims as of 2 years ago it was $15 and might have gone up by now. I'd recommend buying from brands who only have a hassle free NO BS no questions asked Lifetime or forever warranty no fees the pay with your warranty claim and think you're buying disposable throw away consumables whenever knowingly buying items without a real lifetime warranty attached to them.
