Freedive suggestions
-
Also related to freediving, I would be very happy to see to sub sport modes (in addition to depth):
- Freediving - Dynamic (combination of pool swimming and freediving features, without GPS)
- Freediving - Static (mostly timekeeping features)
These are also competition disciplines within freediving. I would be happy to help with specification.

Hello everybody,
It’s been 15 days since I bought the Suunto Ocean, I don’t do much scuba diving, so for me that’s enough.
But… I sold my freediving watch, the Cressi nepto, because I thought it would work for me. The truth is that it is not well thought out, the information is not well displayed.
Does anyone know if there is an intention for Suunto to improve or will it stay that way? I can wait for them to improve it, but if they don’t plan to do it, I will sell it. Now it’s not a freediving watch, it’s a snorkeling watch.

Suunto needs to send a good message to those who bought an Ocean and potential buyers. Otherwise, I believe it will flop.
Waiting for the system update…

Hi!! Thanks for the answer. I suppose also that they will improve (is not very difficult) and I will wait, but I’m a little afraid that they only think in this watch like scuba divers watch…

Additional requests:
Watch:- Ability to change alarms during activity
- More info on surface screen (there is no data at all from last dive!)
- Ability to disable autostart in scuba mode
- or autostart is same as last mode (freedive, scube, snorkeling, swimming, open water swimming, mermaiding)
- or ability to choose mode for autostart
- Ability to lock to center in navigation
App: - Why can’t I expand the analysis view? And select shown measures?
- Incremental time from start for each dive

Hello, I have installed the new Q4 version. It’s a shame that Suunto has not paid attention to this forum.
I did a depth apnea session, and there are no real changes. The only change is the surface alarm, but it’s not right; I don’t want to have to set the alarm manually. I want it to calculate automatically based on the time and depth of the apnea.
The people who work with the watch don’t know anything about freediving…It’s really a shame, I really like the watch, but I can’t wait 3 months for them to possibly make a watch with the basic functionalities of an apnea watch. This is not an apnea watch; it’s a snorkeling watch.
I’m considering returning the watch…

This post is already quite old, but I’d like to refresh it because the topic is still very relevant. I also believe that adding two sub-sport modes for freediving would be very useful:
Dynamic – perfect for DYN training in the pool, where GPS is not needed and the key factors are time and distance. This is also reflected in the freediving competition calendar (freedivingranking.com), where DYN is one of the main disciplines – and events such as the Suunto Freedive Games were officially organized by Suunto.
Static – ideal for STA, where the most important aspect is time measurement and the ability to mark attempts.
Ability to customize sport modes via the Suunto app – especially important for freediving, since currently this mode cannot be edited.
This would make the logbook much clearer and allow easier analysis of progress in the different freediving disciplines.

@Stefan1 Agreed, and sure i want more detailed data, for example to look at particular dive in suunto app. Now we can’t enter each dive in suunto app.
