Suunto Zoop dive computer uses the Reduced Gradient Bubble Model (RGBM) algorithm to calculate decompression, while Suunto Ocean is using Suunto’s Bühlmann 16 GF dive algorithm that is based on the Bühlmann ZHL-16C model. You must set GF factors in your Ocean to have a NDL close to Zoop. However I don’t believe will be possible to get the same results.

Are we there yet?

Hi again! So I present you my two new Suunto straps (waiting for Suunto to launch something officially compatible). They are rubber, thin and comfortable. [image: 20241108-121734.jpg] [image: 20241108-121734.jpg] [image: 20241104-190318.jpg] [image: 20241104-190137.jpg] [image: 20241104-190118.jpg] [image: 20241104-164623.jpg] [image: 20241104-164353.jpg] [image: 20241104-164340.jpg] [image: 20241104-164626.jpg] [image: 20241104-164653.jpg] As you can see, the short strap has the hole for the sensor to work, and the long strap is intended for diving use, so it has no hole and also has the 5 rings to properly secure the watch. What do you think? As additional security, in one of the rings would go a small line and a bunguee.

@jeanlee Yes, this applies to both freediving and scuba diving.

@Danny-poleg is there anyway to make it not display? I don’t remember there for the 1st month or so of wearing it.

@BrunoH, , ocean recharger has a good connection.

@frankfundel the surface time disappears after 72 hours

Any new experience? Is some able to explain? Thanks

@2b2bff This is not what you are writing about because it only takes a few hours for these permissions to disappear. Android revokes them in a completely different case, not using for several months. Moreover, from the Android system level these permissions are always active, it’s just that after some time SuuntoApp is unable to see/use them.

@jodyparisi I fully agree. We don’t need a workaround, we need a proper solution. Either possibility to disable autostart and/or choose mode for autostart and/or autostart in same mode as last used

@RobertF I think I’d prefer a knot rather than the metal components which, well, a knot can’t really fail, rust or snag on dry suits.

@Mff73 yeah didn’t see that thread. all sorted now

Guys, fully support titanium body for Ocean but also titanium bracelet option will be really great as well. For me it is the only advantage of Garmin Decent MK3 - they have both titanium body and bracelet but much expensive. Interesting that Suunto has titanium body for some other models like Vertical. For diving watch titanium will be even more suitable as titanium is more resistant to sea water compared to stainless steel. And being lighter is another advantage of course. Suunto team, please give as titanium Ocean with titanium bracelet!

It may make sense to add a Bluetooth compartible desktop software for log and activity transfers from the watch directly to computers, skipping the app and FIT files because the FIT files are slim and poor on some of the data (eg. tank pressure if a tank pod is connected). Maybe something similar to the DM5 protocol that you get out of older models via SuuntoLink.

@twekkel thank you, will do

@Samuel-Pirttikangas Thanks, I’ll be testing that out soon. There’s even 3 flavors of loop: Pace, Power and Speed!

@Datego I actually experienced the opposite. My Suunto Ocean has overrepresenting the steps. I have a Galaxy Watch 4 with me and when I wear them both on the same arm the difference between the two is massive. Suunto is counting thousands more steps and by the distance walked it is definitely incorrect

@isazi thanks I will advise support, it happens randomly (I am always paired to 2 sensors), but they would be able to see the recorded activity with all but the minimal data missing.

Thanks @Frank-Scholer, that does make sense. I’d say that’s a pretty significant error in the manual, this is the measure of air remaining after all! Agree with you re. the current arches not being helpful in general. Since I have to choose between compass heading and tank pressure display, I’m just trying to make use of the arch as a workaround to that limitation. The more I think about it, placing this cognitive load on the user during a dive seems quite problematic and a questionable design decision from a safety perspective. A graphical compass (with the heading numerical value also always displayed) would be a much better use of this space, with the tank pressure value only shown numerically (at the same time as heading!).
