Optics and personal preference seem to be the foremost, but here is a list of issues you should consider. However I know that one mans opinion is often not enough, and people will continue looking for more and more information before they finally decide to buy.
Birdwatchers use binoculars to find those fast flying rare birds as they hum through the sky. Magnification specifications of 8x42 or 10x42 are perfect for a variety of outdoor optics requirements. Boaters and those that enjoy the water will want the waterproof or fog proof models.
In those days monoculars were used in sports and as a defensive device during wars. When night-vision binoculars first came on the market they were very expensive status symbols.
There are fine and intricate layers of chemical coatings on the surfaces of binoculars lens. Binoculars with a magnification power greater than 10 will be difficult to hold steady. You may not be planning on getting them wet, but things happen; you might trip and drop them in a mud puddle, take them out on a foggy day, or you might get caught in a freak rain shower.
There is nothing like owning your own telescope, and being able to direct it through the sky to uncover a sea of beauty. You want to look for lightweight, tough, comfortable ones with clarity.
