@Mff73 The Suunto Ocean dive computer uses different sampling rates for scuba and freediving modes to match the demands of each activity. In scuba mode, the device logs dive data at 10-second intervals, balancing data detail with battery efficiency for longer dives. In contrast, freediving mode records data every 1 second to accurately capture rapid depth changes and short dive durations. These rates apply to key metrics such as depth, time, temperature, and heart rate, and are stored in the logbook for later review. Currently, these sampling rates are fixed and not user-adjustable. Some other dive computers have adjustable and higher sampling rates.

@aquanaut I am used to Suunto dive watches like mosquito or D4i but I don’t know how the Ocean software is working. Nevertheless when you wear a D4 or D6 for casual days and you swim, it is uncommon to trigger a scuba dive even if automatic detection is selected. And if you want to free dive in a swimming pool or is open waters it is recommended to select the free dive mode to avoid triggering scuba and all the safety related to. And for a dive computer, safety is key. I am interested to get a Ocean in the future and I hope there is a feature that allows to deactivate scuba diving mode when you are just swimming, free diving.

@RobertF I think I’d prefer a knot rather than the metal components which, well, a knot can’t really fail, rust or snag on dry suits.

It seems that “legs only” drills are still not counted correctly as preselected. That’s a absolutely pointless as that is one of the main reason for using the swimdrills app…!

@dcnucsb Have you updated the Ocean to latest firmware? Stock watches carry old firmware on delivery.

@itskylem And did you try to search on this forum before posting?

@Egika yep, that’s why I pointed out that I can’t see the metrics of what’s being asked for, and said I could be wrong. Doesn’t change that I think it’s weird and I can’t imagine a use case, but can imagine better resources of time, within my paradigm.

@Martijn-van-Geloof All very useful information that unfortunately cannot be included in logs at present. There’s a big gap in where dive logging should be.

@Klaus-Myrseth Noticed another one talking freedive mode: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/12397/suggestions-for-freedive-mode-after-update-q4-2-38-42 Think consolidating these two would be nice.

@MacKaris if you did a dive, surface time and no fly time will be there, and only disappear after few days going back to the complication you selected. I believe this is the behavior for safety reasons.

@VoiGAS I really don’t know. I should have patented this suggestion first

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos @patrickmorrison did you get to confirm if it’s possible to export the track? I’m a marine biologist, and it would be very helpful to create certain maps

@DanieleSalatti Have the exact same issue here. It seems that no solution works so far. Used your suggestions as well - but no succes…

~UPDATE~ After about 4 days which I’m guessing it is after 100h of surface time, the complications finally changed to what they were suppose to be, and accepted to be customized. This will need more testing, but I’m guessing this means after a dive, a few of the watch faces are forced to show Surface Time for 100h.

@pwjohnson I have the same situation on the best watch face on this watch (the one shown on the picture). Has anyone found a solution?

@kevd62 But isn’t that the same situation like mixed gas? You have to switch from one gas tank to the other, even if both are the same mix.

@Brad_Olwin Thanks for the suggestion. I tried settings/tones/all off. That should hopefully do the trick.

@Samyon-Shahnovitch I still remember the good old days when the early firmware of Suunto 9 (and Spartans before that) had adjustable brightness in 5% increments. Then Suunto decided to change it to low/medium/high, making my S9 and now Vertical annoyingly bright during night use. And I can fully imagine that it might be even worse with an AMOLED screen. I wish they would revert this for all their watches.
