Water temperature - how long will it take for correct temperature
-
Yes, looks like around 10 seconds to get the correct temperature reading (the entire swim was only 7 mins 57 seconds).
-
@Alejandro My bad, sorry!
I thought 00:7’57 was the position of the cursor on the graph. -
@sebchastang No worries.
-
@Alejandro … ok, so 10 seconds is correct
-
Time is expressed as hours:minutes:seconds. The whole swim was around 40 minutes and the marker is at 7 minutes and 57 seconds.
-
@tuxella … thanks for clarifying … do you know if this changed with the Suunto Ocean?
-
@sebchastang Seems you were correct after all! LOL
-
@Alejandro I am totally confused now
Could anybody from Suunto answer my question if there is a second temperature sensor in the glass?
Thanks -
@Gosem
Hi, could really nobody answer the sensor question?Many thanks
-
Sorry mistake, I thought you asked for time…
-
I’ve used a Suunto EON steel extensively for many years and the temp reading is stable within seconds as soon as you descend. If that is the only thing holding you back, then I think its safe to say that the temp recording on all Suunto dive computers is relatively “instant”. Hope this helps.
-
@Alejandro Now is the question if this super fast temperature pick up can be expected of the Ocean as well.
-
Yes I understand the question and, in the absence of a response from a SCUBA diver using the SO, I gave my answer based on my experience with an EON steel. Here’s another suggestion: buy it from Suunto direct and send it back for a full refund if it doesn’t meet your needs. Again, I hope this helps.
-
@Alejandro Apologies. I was excited by how fast it peaks up temperature based on your experience. So yes. Your experience definitely helps. My question was meant more like: would be so cool if the Ocean had the same capabilities.

As divers we learn that water is more stable than air in terms of temperature – not to mention that you will lose body heat about four times faster in the water than on dry land. In other words, it’s not that difficult for modern equipment to record fast, accurate temperature under the surface of the water. Hence I’m saying to the other guy just buy it and go diving… Then maybe he can tell us!
