Suunto Ocean update 2.51.28
-
Hello,
I wish he had reviewed the planning, which is really basic. In multi-gas mode, the planning only manages the active gas, which is unusable. But there are a few improvements nonetheless. -

Does someone know how that Tide Widget looks like? I’d love to see and wish it for all the other models
Here is a photo.

@Reino-von-Wielligh same issue with my watch.

@Milos-Dimic Watchfaces working for me now…

Thanks Suunto
Freediving mode still not customized.
Suunto Heart Rate belt doesn’t work with freediving mode, but works with scuba diving mode.
No log in freediving, only can see total dives. -
@Maximfreediver
I’m also one of the users who has been waiting for real progress in freediving features on Suunto Ocean — especially for DYN, DYNB, STA and other pool disciplines.Many of us were hoping that the recent updates would finally bring improvements to freediving training, because Ocean has great hardware potential. I really hope Suunto continues developing this part of the watch, as the freediving community is growing and needs proper tools.

Hi All
It seems that the watch face issue has now been solved. I was able to install various faces now.
Thank you @dimitrios-kanellopoulos for reporting this to Suunto.
Kind Regards

@Stefan1 We do miss this update regarding freediving — I bought it as a freediving watch, since that’s also how it was advertised, and it will soon be 2 years since I got it and it hasn’t improved much…
Now we’ll have to wait another 6/10 months for the next update and hope for the best.

Hi everyone,
It seems that this update turned out to be more substantial and stable than the previous one. That’s definitely a good thing. However, it also seems that there are still some basic things that should already have been addressed. A few examples: the alarm function is outdated. The swimming drill function is still missing. For a dive watch, it is perfectly reasonable — and not an exaggeration at all — to expect it to be among the best when it comes to classic water sports features.
Even the Ambit 3 already had a basic but well-functioning swim drill feature. As for the diving side, there are clearly more advanced users involved, so I won’t pretend to know better there, but it is obvious that satisfaction is still not complete.
As a user, here is my humble suggestion: release the above-mentioned and other reasonable updates raised by users within a shorter timeframe, ideally together with any necessary bug fixes related to new features. It seems there has finally been meaningful progress toward better precision and accuracy. As users, it’s important to acknowledge that — it improves overall satisfaction.
At the same time, this progress can easily be undermined if the feature gap starts widening again and the backlog keeps growing. The Ocean has still not fully regained the flagship position it deserves — but its price suggested the premium category. Right now, it rather seems to be catching up. With more regular and scheduled updates, I hope that can change.
I think every user understands and accepts a more cautious update process due to safety validation requirements. In fact, it is reassuring to see that the manufacturer takes diving features seriously. However, this cannot become a reason for the watch to age prematurely, especially since the hardware clearly still has a lot of untapped potential.
So please — and I believe I can say this on behalf of many users — keep this new momentum going, Suunto team! We truly appreciate it. But please do not repeat the previous mistake of leaving this excellent model without proper attention for too long, despite its huge unrealized potential.
Because there is still a gap — the disadvantage has only been reduced.
Thanks in advance, and we are rooting for the Suunto team (says an enthusiastic user who still believes in this brand).

Hi everyone,
I placed my Suunto Ocean on the charging dock earlier today, and since then, it has been completely stuck on a screen that says: “The device is being restored to a safe state”.
Since I’ve been using the exact same wall outlet, cable, and adapter setup for the past two years without any issues, I think I can rule out a hardware or power supply fault. My guess is that this might be related to today’s software update.
Has anyone else encountered this issue or managed to find a workaround?
Note: I’ve already tried a soft reset, but unfortunately, it didn’t change anything or clear the screen.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice!!
