Olympus 7 x 35 DPS-I A good pair of binoculars for nature observation (animals). Clear vision, fringing low (not annoying). Also in the evening still usable. Focussing goes quickly, also because of "only" 7-fold magnification is not necessarily accurately. Similarly no problems with the wobble, which is possible even at a 8x. Through the large field, objects can be quickly find (and tracking). Thus, it is ideal for Naturbeobachtug "go". For pure distance vision there is, of course, better binoculars, but this begint even at 3 meters.
Conclusion: If that weight of 690g with lid and caps (without bag) is not to "much", gets a pretty good pair of binoculars on the go - especially for nature observation. The pack size with length = 19cm x 7cm x Width = height = 13cm (in the pocket) are still "backpack friendly".
