Tides
-
When is Suunto going to do a tides widget? Surely this isn’t too complicated and would benefit many thousands of users.
Please Suunto. Make my Race S complete.

true. Please please we need a Tide Watchface or Widget which can be selected not only by the Ocean Watch! -
Suunto please pull your finger out. My daughters Casio shows her the tides. Why can’t you?

this is being asked since a couple of years.
https://forum.suunto.com/search?term=tide&in=titlesSuunto Nautic has it and from a presentation I saw somewhere it looks like Ocean will get it too.

We only need a tide watch, nothing fancy, just put max and low tide and it calculated by self, like the old casios

I would like times for high and low water plus heights based on the nearest reference port and a tide graph. For example I know I can navigate a particular channel when the depth of water at Mallaig is 3.3m or more. The channel isn’t at Mallaig but that’s the reference port I use for this location and the depth at a particular time is more useful than the actual time of HW (or the time of HW locally because a neap tide may not reach the required height, even at HW) If I have times and depths of high and low water I can work it out manually from that but a graph makes life easier.
I’m a sea kayaker as well as a runner and this information would be helpful. However in a situation without phone coverage such as on a multi day trip I’m not sure if the software could load or store and display advance predictions and if there was coverage it might be more efficient to view it from actual tide tables or on a smart phone. Or simply write it down in advance on a bit of paper! There’s a lot more to it than just high and low water times but they are a starting point from which other calculations can be made using other data (which I’m pretty sure couldn’t be on a watch) and are useful locally for planning launch and recovery.
