Water temperature - how long will it take for correct temperature
-
Hi,
I was wondering how the Ocean is measuring the water temperature?
Is it similar to the Apple Watch Ultra with a second temperature sensor in the display? This would be much faster then with the normal sensor.
I am asking because if jump into a cold river or lake will it immediately show and log the correct temperature?
Would be grate and a reason to change from the fenix to the ocean … for me
Many thanks for answering my question. -
If this can help you, here is the temperature graph for an openwater swim in the sea which was 17°C
(The air was around 20°C)
Watch is a Suunto Vertical Titanium Solar, worn on the wrist.

@tuxella many thanks
… cool, that means around 10 seconds … that’s great
-
@Gosem you should rather read 7 to 8 minutes
-
@sebchastang … ah ok! Thanks
… but it is the Vertical, not the Ocean, perhaps the Ocean has other sensors
-
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
