Spec of Tesco own-brand binoculars?

Here in the UK Tesco sell some super-cheap own-brand binoculars for
about £10. I know they're fairly crap but that's ok.

I think they have a magnification of 12x.

Does anyone know the other figure which I believe is the objective lens
diameter?

If they are of the small pocket variety, chances are they are 12x25.

They could be anything. The Praktica 10x25 might be a better bet at the
same price.

Having said that you might consider spending nearly twice as much and
buy the Silva 8x21 version. 10x mag can be difficult to hold steady in
such a small case - the difference at 8x is small but they are much
easier to hold.

Looking at the pictures it also looks to me as if the 8x21 will open
much wider than the 10x25, which makes all the difference in user
comfort.
