Suunto Ocean general discussion
-
@Ben-Woodard I think with this features I would also buy the Ocean
. Maybe some of them will arrive with newer software. AOD, altitude for diving and tide info should not be a big problem to implement and would be really helpful -
@Ben-Woodard have you checked if you have AoD turned off in your Display settings? I have noticed that if it is turned off, the display also turns off during activities but with it on, the display stays on.
-
@altcmd yes Iāve tried it with the Always on Display. The same problem. This is my biggest annoyance with the watch.
It is most annoying when Iām cycling but also when Iām doing stretches or SuuntoPlus workouts where an activity is timed and I donāt want to change position but still watch the display count down.
I understand that Suunto knows about the problem. I hope they fix it in the next firmware release.
It is taking a while to update the firmware to support ZoneSense on the watch but sometimes it does show up in the app. That is another in thing I am looking forward to in the next firmware release but since it is a dive computer firmware releases need more testing and come more slowly.
-
@Ben-Woodard double check the AoD settings as they are activity specific. In each activity, you have to adjust the settings for AoD. Not sure if Ocean has some disparity with Race and Race S but the AoD setting in sports profile is independent of the general AoD watch setting.
-
@altcmd Where would these sport specific AoD settings be?
There is the general AoD in the watch which is under Settings - General - Display. There the AoD is just a simple (on/off) with nothing associating it with a sport.For a sport specific mode I would expect it either in the menu when you start the sport modeās exercise options. I would think that it would be under āBattery Modeā or maybe under a new separate item like āDisplayā but I donāt see it anywhere just: Battery Mode, Navigation, Map, SuuntoPlus, Intensity Zones, Target, GPS, Wrist HR, Sensors, intervals, Autolap, Voice feedback Media Controls, Autopause, feeling. Or it would be a checkbox when you make a custom sport mode.
BTW I think that they should move Structured Workouts out of SuuntoPlus with the apps and then make a Workout menu with:
Intensity Zones (on/off)
Target [meaning simple target]
Intervals [meaning simple intervals]
Structured workouts [with a list of sport appropriate structured workouts that you have created] -
@Ben-Woodard when you go in to an activity, check the activity settings before starting the activity. There is a display setting there and within that is buried the said AoD setting. This has to be set one time for each activity.
-
@altcmd Nope. The Ocean doesnāt have that in the current firmware. Under each activity type there are only.
- Battery Mode,
- Navigation,
- Map,
- SuuntoPlus,
- Intensity Zones,
- Target,
- GPS,
- Wrist HR,
- Sensors,
- intervals,
- Autolap,
- Voice feedback
- Media Controls,
- Autopause,
- feeling.
No Display item on the Ocean in 2.36.18 which is the latest when Iām writing thisā¦
-
@Ben-Woodard maybe some tester here with an Ocean and Race S can confirm if there is a difference between the watch firmwares. Sorry I donāt have an Ocean to cross-check this.

Hello,
(Iām French, sorry for the translation).I am going to replace my Scubapro Galileo luna with a computer watch.
Since the SUUNTO OCEAN has the compass function, is it possible to lock a heading (bloquer un un cap en franƧais) by pressing a button or does the compass function not allow this function for the moment ?
And what other functions are visible at the same time as the compass function ?
thank you for your replies

If you really need a compass, it is not time to buy an Ocean. Wait for the next update to make your choice.
