I've got a birthday coming up and Mrs wants to buy me some Binoculars, budget around £100. Nothing to specialist, just general use out in hills, on the beach and normal perv type activity. I'm not after ultra compact but would prefer then to be relatively easy to carry in a pack and I tend to break things so robustness is good. Preferred option at the moment are Bushnell H2O 10 x 42 m. Should I be looking at anything else?
I have a monocular, really handy for the hills and I find it easier to hold stable than bins.
Feels a bit 'tactical' if you're into that sort of tossage

i've had these for a couple of years now and for the money they are excellent.
I bought a pair of Hawkes which have brilliant optical and build quality. Very impressed with value for money. Guide prices here https://www.ffordes.com/search?brand=398 -
Celestron Nature XD are good for the money.
