Binoculars deals: The best discounts and savings 2024

We've rounded up the best binoculars deals the market has to offer, across a range of reputable retailers so you can spot your next pair at a discount.

Now is a great time to try and bag a bargain as you can find some of the best binoculars on the market with a discount. Binoculars deals are worth considering as although they don't offer the same viewing power as the best telescopes, they can offer stunning views at a typically lower price point. Binoculars are often a cost-effective alternative to telescopes, even though there are some great telescope deals available.

There's some handy buying advice in this guide, which you can find below the binoculars deals on offer, but generally speaking, binoculars with 8x or 10x magnifications will offer sufficient views without feeling too bulky. We also recommend A Bak-4 prims design and multi-coated optics for high-quality optics. Where new deals are available, we add them below and we'll remove any expired offers as we keep this page updated year-round. We've tried to include something suitable for everyone, regardless of experience, viewing needs and budget.

If you don't find something suitable below, or there's a specific manufacturer you know or trust, it could be worth scrolling through our Bushnell binoculars deals, Nikon binoculars deals, Leica binoculars deals, Zeiss binoculars deals and Vortex binoculars deals guides. But, for the best binoculars deals on the market, read on below.

6x, 7x and lower magnifications

Generally speaking, this section of binoculars is aimed at kids, because of the low magnification, but that's not to dismiss them. There are plenty of options to keep budding stargazers and bird watchers happy that won't tire out little arms with heavy optics. We recommend looking for a minimum of 30mm when it comes to the objective lens but anything above that should still let plenty of light in for clear night sky views. 

There are a few pairs we've included in this section: the Celestron Cometron 7x50, which is actually our top pick for kids, alongside the super-rugged National Geographic 6x21 Children's binos and the Vixen SG 2.1x42. This latter pair are designed for wide-field observation and offer an incredible stereoscopic depth. Below, you'll find the best offers on all of these, depending on availability in your area.

8x binoculars

Most people will tell you that 10x50 is the ideal magnification-to-aperture ratio for stargazing binoculars. While this is generally a good rule to follow, we actually think that some of the best binoculars for stargazing fall into the 8x42 category. These are the Celestron TrailSeeker 8x42 binoculars – in our list of best binoculars – which have a wider field of view than 10x50 models and also boast a crisp, clear view of objects. 

Also below - depending on availability - you'll see the Opticron Adventurer T WP 8x42, Nikon Prostaff 3S 8x42 and Celestron Nature DX 8x32. All of these models are ideal for kids who are interested in stargazing and would prefer a slightly higher magnification than those found in the models above.

On a further note, the Nikon Prostaff P3 8x42 features in our guide for the best binoculars as the best for beginners. You can find out why we rate them that highly in our review of them 

10x binoculars

This section is for models with 10x magnifications, and you're likely to find most of the top options for astronomy here. The reason for that is they're powerful enough for you to view night sky targets but compact enough to carry around with ease. If you're looking for a cost-effective alternative to a top telescope, this is where you'll find it. 

If they're available in your local area, you should see the best prices for the following models below: the Canon 10x42L IS WP and Olympus 10x25 WP II (both excellent for budding young astronomers) along with the Opticron Adventurer II WP 10x50, the Vortex 10x50 Crossfire HD, the Nikon 10x50 Aculon A211 and the Celestron UpClose G2 10x50.

12x binoculars

At this size, the binoculars are almost akin to a small portable telescope, as the 12x magnification lets you focus on deep sky objects like the Andromeda Galaxy. You might want to start thinking about using a tripod if you're opting for models in this category, as they're heavier and less compact than their counterparts with lower magnification - so it's much trickier to hold these binoculars steady.

Depending on stock availability, this section is where you'll find the best available prices for the Nikon Action EX 12x50, Celestron Skymaster 12x60 and the Celestron Celestron Nature DX 12x56

15x binoculars

At this size, there's no maybe about it: you're going to need a tripod. You'll also probably have to pay out a little more for the higher magnification - but it's well worth it if you're a serious stargazer, as binoculars of this type will reveal everything from the detailed surface of the moon to the brightest deep sky objects. 

There are a couple of our favorites below for you to check out, both of which are worth the purchase and you can't go wrong with them. The excellent and highly recommended Celestron SkyMaster 15x70 and the Meade Instruments 15x70 Astro.

25x binoculars

The final models in our round-up of binoculars deals offer 25x magnification. It's not quite the same as those offered by the best telescopes around, but it's still very impressive. With this magnification, you'll just about be able to perceive Jupiter’s atmospheric belts in the field of view. Check out our Celestron SkyMaster 25x100 review for a more in-depth look. 

We've included just one model in this category below, the Celestron SkyMaster 25x100. These aren't a beginner's model at all, as expected they're big, they also aren't cheap however the optics you get are top-quality and you get crystal clear views of your night sky targets.
