Bushnell Night Watch with Built-in Infrared Monocular Review
The Bushnell NightWatch is a very interesting and helpful device. It has many functions that make it an excellent option for nighttime use. The night watch comes in two versions, the first with a light source and the second without.
LED
The Night Watch is an LED light bulb that measures approximately two inches long by one-and-a-half inches wide. It weighs about five-and-a-quarter grams. You can use it as a flashlight or a clock.
Battery-Operated
The Night Watch is battery-operated and comes with an adjustable flashlight. It has a switch on the front to turn the light on/off and buttons on the back to adjust the intensity and distance of the beam.
Infrared Illuminator
The Night Watch has an infrared illuminator that lets you see things up to 100 feet away at night. It’s perfect for taking photos and videos during the day and night. Its range is 30 meters, meaning you can see things up to 300 feet away at night.
How Do You Use a Night Watch Monocular?
Built-in Infrared Illuminator
Bushnell NightWatch monocular comes with a built-in infrared illuminator and is ideal for use in low-light conditions. The NightWatch has an adjustable focus lens system that allows you to adjust the field of view from 5° to 40°. It also features a wide-angle eyepiece, which makes it easy to see objects at great distances.
The NightWatch has a large objective lens (50mm) that provides excellent image quality and brightness.
Package
This is an excellent-looking and easy-to-use design that Bushnell uses with this monocular nighttime vision device.
It is not surprising since Bushnell makes it that it’s built more like a binocular that is missing half of it as opposed to some of the other more tubular night vision products we tested.
It includes a pleather case for transporting it easily and safely and it also includes a comfortable lanyard for securing it around your neck too. This device also comes completely ready to be tripod mounted.
Battery
It comes with everything you need to get started right out of the box. All you have to do is plug it into an outlet and put two AAA-type batteries inside. The owner’s manual for this product is very detailed and easy to follow, so you’ll be using it in a no-fuss fashion after installing the necessary batteries.
Why This Model Night Vision?
You don’t usually see much better-enhanced image products than those made by Bushell and this monocular night vision product didn’t do anything to harm that reputation.
It has first-gen infrared optics that rival those of more advanced later-gen IR generations at a small portion of the cost of devices using those.
Bushnell was thinking of almost every aspect of this product from its advanced infrared illuminators to its comfortable and easy-to-operate design. It is a product that exhibits high quality.
Optics
Like many other reasonably priced night vision products this Bushnell monocular night vision device uses first-generation infrared. I did immediately notice that it was the highest quality first-generation infrared we have ever seen on a device.
It has an infrared illuminator that helps you see even the darkest of objects during the day. When you push the button to illuminate an item using its increased infrared beam, it returns a very clear picture of that item.
You can see almost anything clearly at night using an IR illuminator. It’s especially useful for hunters and mariners.
Vision Enhancements
With its 24mm lens, it has a very wide field of vision; up to 105 feet when viewing from almost 1,000 yards away. That way, you won’t miss any games that cross your paths because of “tunnels” caused by having one eye closed.
It has two times magnification. That means you can get closer to objects without sacrificing your field of vision or image clarity.
It has a lot of good features for nighttime viewing, including high-quality optics.
Helpful Features
Sturdy
This monocular night-sighting device is made from a very sturdy plastic material that is very durable and resistant to scratches and dents.
Grip
It has a very large rubberized grippy surface so you can easily and comfortably grip this device in any kind of weather condition.
Waterproof
It is waterproof which is great because bad weather often means good hunting at nighttime.
Design
It is also an excellent monocular night vision device that is ergonomically designed so that when you’re using it you can easily adjust the controls or focus the lenses that you require for optimal nighttime viewing.
Anchor
It has an extra strong anchor built into it so that you can easily attach the lanyards that come with it.
Tripod
If you’re a hunting enthusiast who enjoys taking down a game from a treestand, having the ability to mount it on a tripod is a big plus.
