Suunto Ocean general discussion

Hello everyone, I have been using SO for four days. Switching from S9 - I still don’t know why
I change every 5 years, I started my adventure with Suunto with Ambit2.
Coming back to SO, a lot has already been written but:- remember when getting on the bike and attaching the watch to the handlebar - the screen must always be ON
- the charger has a very short cable and compared to the previous ones, the magnet is symbolic (there is no way you can hang the watch on the cable)
- no information about the value pack in the box, you have to read notifications from the application
- it’s heavy, no matter what strap. You can feel it in your hand much more than S9
- I miss a lot of information about the hours of total regeneration after training - such a large ring that was in S9
- they could add more screens to scroll with the middle button or the ability to arrange the order of widgets for the bottom menu
- more watchface, of course
- mobile notifications make no sense: icon - a large inscription that someone is calling and at the bottom in the smallest font who is calling
On the other hand, it’s a fucking beautiful watch. The holidays are coming soon and I will test it in many activities.
-
@Filip-S The order of the widgets is configurable via the app. Just drag and drop. And also enable/disable them.
-
@EzioAuditore Thx! Yes it works in APP!
-
@Filip-S Thanks, And also @isazi and @Brad_Olwin In real life it is even more beautiful than in the pictures. The screen is somehow more vibrant than in my Race. Is that just me or do you experience that as well. My local dealer had one black one. Now he is out of stock.

Let’s discuss the new device here
https://www.suunto.com/Products/dive-computers-and-instruments/suunto-ocean/suunto-ocean-all-black/
Good evening guys. I purchased it the day after it came out. It was the product I was waiting for. A single watch for sporting life and diving. With the pro club I am waiting for the probe to arrive and with half the price of the mk3 I have a fantastic product.

Had the Ocean for about a week now and must say, it is a beautiful watch and I’m really enjoying it. Very impressed with it so far. I haven’t been able to do any activities as I’m recovering from quite a major surgery at the moment, however the one thing I have been able to test is the sleep tracking. My sleep has been shockingly bad for the last couple of nights and the watch often reckons I’m asleep when I’m not. Last night for instance, it recorded that I fell asleep at 2am and slept until 8am with a couple of awake periods here and there when in actual fact I only fell asleep at around 4:45am. I was very restless and wide awake up until the point that I fell asleep and was also using the watch every now and then (I’m not 100% sure, but I think I was flicking through the menus at one of the points where it says I was sleeping - will pay more attention to that in the coming nights to see if it overlaps with an awake period or a sleep period). Hope this gets some improvement when the upcoming update gets released

Is it okay to take up diving just to buy a new watch?
-
@JonasLarsson Absolutely.

So,
i had my Ocean to it’s first Dive now. All worked pretty well. The display is really good readable.
It however did somehow not track my dive path as promised (maybe because it activated due to getting 1,5m deep instead of manually at the top before diving, need to try out next time.
What i find a bit unpratical is the views underwater, there is no way getting into the compass view wich is confusing as this was possible with the Suunto D5. Maybe that would be something for a later patch?
I can also not say much to the tank pot as i had to lend a reglator due to forgetting mine at home.Greetings

@svenbrnn the compass is coming in a future update, hopefully soon
-
@isazi nice to hear
-
Just noticed another thing. Coud it be that the calories calulation of the D5 and Ocean are vastly different?
My german health insurence accpts sports activity only at 200 kal/30min and my dives with the d5 were always around 700-1000kal/h diving. Hover the Ocean just tracked it with just about 100 which is really wired for me. -
@svenbrnn 700 - 1000 seems normal for a on hour run(!). But for Scuba I would say its to high. Maybe with very strong current. But 100kal per our is much to low. Should be around 400 regarding to Internet Sources and my own guessing…

Hi all,
i bought the ocean and the suunto tank pod together.
i made the connection, at the ocean display, i see the serial number of the tank pod.
how can i cahnge/edit it?
it possible with the other computers?
the ocean can connect to 5 tank pod’s, i need to remmber each serial number of them to whom they belong?Thx
-
@Filip-S - What do you mean by missing hours of total regeneration? I see from the comparison website it has some part of recovery metrics missing. Is this what you mean? If so, what parts are missing? Cheers Stuie

@diveman https://www.suunto.com/Support/Product-support/suunto_ocean/suunto_ocean/scuba-diving/wireless-tank-pressure-support-/#6.1
At the moment not possible to edit the names. This might be enabled with other FW updates and when multiple BT sensors of same type are allowed?! (just a speculation) -

I miss that screen that counted accumulated regeneration. You know, 48 hours of cycling, 8 hours of running, etc. Taking into account that there could be a break of e.g. 2 hours between activities. Which would give 48 - 2 + 8 on the screen. Just a quick tip for my old age not to overdo it.
I will add to my previous post a note about cycling. Setting the screen to always be on doesn’t solve the problem on a sunny day and wearing sunglasses. The screen does not disappear completely, but it fades/dim significantly, so although the numbers can be seen, navigation on the map is very difficult. Now I understand the comments from the SV people that the MIP screen works better.
Maybe they will fix it with an update with the option to choose without this screen dimming.

@Filip-S Thanks for the info.

Hi,
I dont want to be hard, but I see a lot of empty space in the screen during dive mode. It is like suunto focused on design or fashion watch, in which the diver should press buttons during the to see important information. Pressing buttons are not cool when diving.
A new layout screen in the dive mode that includes: current depth (included), max depth, dive time (included), NDL (included), tank pressure and temperature would be great.
I know that some information can be found in the switchwindow, but it not the best way to present them.
Considering the algorithm, it would be perfect an update to include GF99 and SurGF.
Best,
