      Yes, you are both right!!

      Just look at the compass on my 6 year old Suunto Eon. It is miles better than what the Ocean offers:

      You are right, @Brad_Olwin , they need to make the dive screen customizable.

      Yes, @sacrevache, I saw this YouTube video showing what you are descibing.

      I was holding back on this computer, but after seeing what Suunto has come up with after so many months of the anticipated compass, I got so tired of waiting that I ordered a Shearwater Peregrine Tx today and will not look at Suunto for a while. This has been such a let down and such a shame since the Ocean is so beautiful and has a great display and great feautres.

      I hope Suunto will see this and do better!

        This is hilarious after I found out that it is a digital camera.

          I still hope that Suunto will revert this situation in future firmwares. The hardware is great (screen and battery are amazing), the software includes a lot of good features, but still needs a lot of polishing and improvements.

          Just an example. Considering Suunto expertise with RGBM algorithm, there should be an option for the user to choose: Suunto BĂŒhlmann, pure BĂŒhlmann, or Suunto RGBM.

          Why did they abandon RGBM?
          Why did they choose that beautiful, but poor screen layout?

          Probably diving activity is not the main focus. I don’t know

            @Brad_Olwin found, thanks. As for application Suunto, i want to step in each certain dive, but i can’t. I only see table and graphic.

            Hope that you add it in next updates

              Hi everyone,

              I see the update as available in the Suunto app and it says, it could take some time to download. However there‘s no progress and I gave it the whole night to complete the download, but nothing. Pressing the ‚Update Now‘ button doesnt do anything


              As I am currently on diving holiday, I would love to get the update! Any idea what I can do to force or expedite the download/installation?

              Thanks Frank

                @diogao13 Indeed. So many questions and very few answers. Suunto lost and oppurtunity to make a great product from launch!

                  @Frank-Scholer,

                  • check your watch is connected with the app via Bluetooth
                  • in the app, check that your watch is connected to wi-fi
                  • start the update in the app to transfer the file to the watch (the update is a hotfix, the download takes less than a minute)
                  • go to update settings in the watch and starts the 2nd step of the update procedure

                    issue for divers using tank pod. Here there is a thread about it:

                    It would be nice to remove some information on the “trash bin” in the bottom, even without customization.
                    I mean: there is no point of having air pressure, SAC rate AND Gaz time when I don’t have a Tank pod!

                      @Simon-Mongeau, exactly.

                      Having more info on the screen, it could automatically present only the remaining infos on the switch window.

                        Hi, there is a problem with measuring distance in open water swimming. I just bought Suunto Ocean, I have been using Spartan Ultra for 6 years, mainly ocean swimming over 4000 times. I compared Suunto Ocean with two other computers, how they handle ocean swimming and the results are surprising https://youtu.be/WLeTcv6Fqxw?si=b0ZBoaW8zeVbFK_l , Ocean was the worst
 Ocean has a software problem. I tried 7 times, the results are always wrong.

                          @Arturro There is a answer to the question: “Measured distance in swimming is wrong”. Summary of Suunto Ocean tests, after the update 2.36.18. Tests for 9 days and at the end a summary of the discrepancies in Excel.

                              @Egika I can’t tell you how delighted I would be if this arrived before 0600 Pacific Honolulu time, on the 21st. The ‘big’ firmware update arrived for my Vertical literally as I was about 5km of the start of a nice, long hike in Scotland, so I’m available for a repeat of that.

                                @EzioAuditore What keeps me out of buying the Ocean (Vertical Amoled and without wheel), are exactly the same things you say:

                                • Climb Guidance
                                • Zonesense

                                With the development already done and after the waiting period of further testing, I understand that those things will probably be pushed on 2024 Q4.

                                Then the yet pending bug fixes I posted for the rest of the watches (no need to duplicate posts):

                                  @dreamer_ Sure but as I stated in other posts and since I own the 3 latest releases of Suunto watches. The Ocean has been the most reliable so far (except of the missing race/lactate predictions - this though I think is due to the fact I never run without a belt). One should note that I mostly use the Ocean mostly for ground activities and very little for water 🙂

                                  Suunto watches: Ocean (Sand), Race (Titanium Charcoal), Vertical (Titanium Solar Sand), 9 Baro (Ambassador Edition), Spartan Ultra (Copper Edition), Ambit 2, S6
                                  Suunto Wing

                                    @EzioAuditore I can confirm about reliability. Race prediction works on my Ocean but as per Suunto is a bit too optimistic especially with the longer distances.

                                    I suspect it doesn’t include the Lactate Threshold algorithm licensed to the Race which looks like the only watch to have it—if anyone knows.

                                    Current: Ocean, Vertical Titanium Solar
                                    Past: 9 Baro, Spartan Ultra, Ambit3 Peak Sapphire

                                      Bonjour,
                                      (je suis français, désolé pour la traduction).

                                      Je vais remplacer ma Scubapro Galileo luna par une montre ordinateur.

                                      La SUUNTO OCEAN disposant de la fonction boussole, est-il possible de bloquer un cap (bloquer un cap en français) en appuyant sur un bouton ou la fonction boussole ne permet pas cette fonction pour le moment ?

                                      Et quelles autres fonctions sont visibles en mĂȘme temps que la fonction boussole ?

                                      Merci pour vos réponses

                                          On voit les degrés et la flÚche qui indique la direction.

                                            maybe asking in English will improve the probability of answers
