    @isazi Hi, I’d like to ask whether, during the multi-sensor test, you’ve come across the display of sensor battery status. I happen to know people who use both Race and Race2 models, and these functions work there. There used to be a similar feature with the Ambit 3 Peak as well — if I remember correctly, the earlier version of the current app also showed this. So I don’t think it would be too much to expect this function to appear on the Ocean as well. It’s actually a very useful feature — it’s good to know in advance if, for example, the heart rate sensor’s battery is running low, rather than discovering it right before or during a workout. Furthermore, I’d like to ask you, as a moderator, whether there’s any way to start a more direct, earlier communication with Suunto. I’ve always believed in finding solutions — listing problems or repeating negative opinions doesn’t help much. I think many would agree that sharing a roadmap and holding a discussion about feature priorities with user involvement would be valuable. I know there have been efforts in this direction, but they don’t seem to be very successful so far. I also understand that “silly” or technically uninformed demands shouldn’t drive development. However, as we can see here on the forum, there are plenty of logical requests, constructive suggestions, and valid criticisms worth considering. So my question is: could we initiate something like the following through this forum? • Official sharing of a roadmap, outlining general directions — not necessarily with fixed dates, but with a rough timeline. • Feedback on key user requests, such as dive function improvements, dive screen customization, multisport features like sensor status (which I’ve personally been advocating for), as well as watch face bugs, widget fixes, modernization, and further development. • Regular status updates on the progress of features and improvements. For instance, I really appreciated your post mentioning that you were testing functions users have been waiting for. It would be great to have all this not only through forum discussions and ad-hoc Q&A threads, but in an official, transparent, and publicly accessible format. I believe users have a lot of ideas — and some of them could genuinely be useful. How do you see it? Would there be a way to make room for such an initiative?

    @Ben-Woodard said in Suunto Ocean general discussion: My absolute biggest complaint is that the firmware shuts off the display during workouts to prevent burn in and to save power. To me this is false economy and really is inconvenient. The two places where this is extremely annoying is when I’m doing some sort of timed workout like streching I have an interval set for holding an exercise for 30s or a minute and the display cuts out and I don’t know how much time I have. The other place where this makes the watch practically useless is when I want to do bike ride and have the watch on the handlebars. The display cuts off I can’t just glance down to see how fast I’m going, what my HR is. This is just broken behaviour. The display shouldat least have the option to stay on when exercising. Oct 2025: Lookin’ @ a new Suunto Ocean – as an activity-tracking device & SCUBA dive computer: (Should record runs, bike rides etc. & sync data OK with Strava, seems to offer more detailed activity features I may delve into. Certainly would use it SCUBA diving of course.) One concern is bright, always-on-display during bike mode – I’ll likely want to mount it on the bike handlebar (via an attachment) & have it always-on so I can track & see the distance ridden easily. Web searches indicate this may not be so easy in bike mode, there may have been a firmware upgrade that improved it, but unsure. Does anyone have recent experience with this?

    @ogillot said in Suunto Ocean SW update 2.38.42 (2024 Q4): @Kevin-Major time to shift to Garmin, either G2 ou MK3i. There is an update coming and the update is in testing. Others have stated this here as well. It shouldn’t be a long time before the update arrives. Others have said this as well.

    @iamer Thank you, but no problem if you prefer pressing buttons. Personally, I prefer having a better computer.

    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…

    Hi all, using Suunto App on Andorid phone. App Version 6.2.2 on Android 15 Some dives are syncing, some dives are don’t. Already tried deinstalling, deleting bluetooth pairing, install again. Missing dives still don’t sync. Die a factory reset now and hope dives will sync again. Sad story: all logs are also deleted, that was different on my old D5.

    I need to use it more, but I suspect that the Suunto D5 dive planner is better than the Ocean dive planner, Suunto’s brand new dive computer.

    @Mauerwegler thank you for the advice. However Ocean has the particularity to be a dive watch with specific features : we want some features that don’t exist on the others…such as customizable dive screen to have TTS/AI/NDL/dive time/depth (and maybe compass) on the same display.

    The whole Suunto is a big disappointment for me. I’m having my D9tx serviced, and have been offered a replacement Suunto Ocean from the service centre as the D9tx are beyond repair. I accepted the offer, paid and now I’m waiting for my new watch to be shipped. Up to tree week. As I am leaving for a diving safari soon, I have written to Suunto support several times. They have always told me that they will resolve my request and I will receive an email within a few hours. It never came. Suunto has lied to me repeatedly through their support. According to me, they do not stock the Sunnto Ocean. Now that I have five days until my flight I don’t know what to do. Get a refund and switch to Garmin? Wait? How long? I can’t fly without a dive computer. If Suunto hadn’t lied to me, I could have borrowed a computer somewhere. But where am I gonna get one in five days? I don’t know how they can lie to me like that.

    Hi all, Just wanted to confirm (with gratitude!) that I was able to successfully export my .fit files from my Suunto Ocean via the Suunto app on my android phone, and then import them into the latest (PC) version of Subsurface. In Subsurface I selected the option to “import from dive computer”, chose FIT as the Vendor, then selected a google drive folder on my PC where I had downloaded the .fit files. I hit download on the import window, then selected all the dives logged. Hit OK and it worked! Now I have to add my notes and double check everything is correct, but it looks good so far, although the dives don’t seem to have GPS markers.

    I would recommend to install and connect suunto app on a another device for testing this issue. Maybe the expensive bad bug suunto isn’t the reason for this issue. Its not impossible that your current device is blocking there somehow… There are so much different devices, with different kind of software on the market, no company, no developer on this world is able to proof all this variances. Developers need feedback from custumer side if something not running good…
