Suunto Ocean general discussion

Just curious… is there any legislation around dive watches for manufacturers? Or is it just like building outdoor/sports watches?

@surfboomerang Dive devices pass special testing, and there are special standards for it, like EN 13319:2000.

Does anybody know how to create new activity with custom fields on Ocean, this was always inside App but i can not find it there now?

I am so tempted by the Suunto Ocean. It is so beautiful. On the other hand the upcoming firmware update for Race and Vertical are also super intriguing. Now: Difficult question: When can we expect a similar software update for the Ocean? Someone already mentioned definitely later then Race and Vertical and less frequent.

isazi

@Patrick-Löffler-0 we can expect the Ocean getting some (all?) of the Race features, but not sure when. A quarterly release cycle for this watch is probably not happening.

@isazi Thanks for your fast answer. Still. Such a great looking watch!

Will the new tides watchface complication be an Ocean exclusive or with that be coming to other watches in the update? It looks very well designed!

isazi

@deserthike20 I do not have that, maybe it’s a future feature.

I’ve noticed in pics that the Ocean looks pretty big and thick on some wrists. Understandably the pics are usually over a wetsuit…

The specs show its actually thinner than the vertical and only 1 mm bigger. With a regular strap how does it fit in real life compared to the Vertical? Does it fit much larger?

@vlado

I had the same issue and it was resolved by updating the Suunto app!

Iggge

God dammit! Suunto makes soo good looking sport watches, and Ocean is even more good looking than the Vertical.

isazi

@Iggge I agree, first time I saw the Ocean I was in love with the design, such a beautiful watch

@isazi do you know if it has blood oxygen measurements as the Race, SV? I couldn’t find it on the web. Thanks.

Yes it does and I agree with @isazi that the watch is stunning.

EzioAuditore

@Brad_Olwin thanks a lot. Well I guess I’ll be getting one for my summer dives it will pair nicely with the rest: everyday Race, mountains Vertical, waters Ocean
Talk about supporting Suunto

Brad_Olwin

@EzioAuditore Good to hear. I’ve done extensive exercise testing with the ocean and it matches with Race and Vertical well. I did find using a Velcro band for running gave much better OHR. I have not done dive testing.

EzioAuditore

@Brad_Olwin cool thanks a lot. I always use belt when running. OHR works fine for hike, bike and yoga/core/pilates.

@isazi Ordered mine since I’ll be spending quality time near sea this year but pool dive training too for more serious diving not only freestyle… One question: The led on the right side is showing what exactly? I couldn’t find anything in the manual or was reading it too fast and didn’t see it. Tank pod connectivity? Does it change colour? Thanks.

isazi

@EzioAuditore on my watch it is not a led, it is a, how do you call that, paint that you see in the dark? To find your watch in the darkness. This is what I know about that (I may be wrong, I never used the watch underwater).
