Disappointment
The optics on this toy leave much to be desired. It's a good argument for buying toys of this type in a store where you can try them out first.
Not worth the money for bigger kids.
I wish I could give this product good ratings. My kids were so excited to get them,and we took them camping. There is a really great wide stream near the campground that is a favorite exploring place and I thought these would be good for that. Well, the little light is a waste, it didn't illuminate enough to see anything, and when it got wet it quit working. The kids were careful to not murk up the water, and still you couldn't see. They wound up wearing their swim goggles and putting their faces in the water and that worked much better. As for the telescope part, you could get a decent kids pair of binoculars for about the price of this. Maybe my kids were too old (7 and 9) and we expected too much from this, it might be good for little kids to pretend with (telescope) and introduce to the underwater world with.
Save your money for the real thing
Great idea, poor execution. Very difficult to see a thing and keep it in focus, and the lighting function for underwater, which is why I bought it, doesn't really work unless you're in pretty clear water.
