Suunto Ocean general discussion

Hello all,
Thank you for latest update. I really like Oceans.
Maybe request for next update.
Maybe add volume option for notification.
Will be possible add fast switch for vibration only? Sometime beeping noise can be annoying.
Is in plan Spotify integration + Bluetooth headphones?
And last request upgrade diving watchface. There is place for more information.
In separate threat is nice idea. -
@kenellis I just bought two (one for my wife and one for me) and even after the December update, the steps do not measure well. You have to move very markedly the arms to detect steps … even in walking mode, in 3km I counted 900 steps and should be at least three times… We are looking forward to an update to fix it because the watch is amazing and it is perfect to be able to do activities and monitor our daily life with our dive watch.

Hello I have detected that if I use the “weights” mode then it stops counting steps… and in the “walking” mode the step count fails too, it does not count many steps. we are talking about saying that 3km are 1000 steps…everything is correct and I have restarted several times and tried it on two different oceans (my wife’s and mine). Are you working on fixing that? It has to be a thing of the last update…greetings

Received my Suunto Ocean saturday, and dove once with it. Feels and looks great!
Does the airplane symbol and the blue ring disappear at fixed time after the last dive, or does it depend on how much gas you accumulated during the dive? My ring went blue after 12 hours, the plane green and checked after 24 hours, but the blue ring only disappeared after 72 hours.Small additional question: what is the meaning of the green led next to the watche’s button, on the right side?

One of the main data for freediver is last dive time. It is nessessary to calculate your surface time. Now we have to move to other screens to see it. Please in next update add it in bottom data field.
-
And, one more thing. Maybe somebody wrote about it, but. It would be nice if underwater computer switches autoumatically in last diving mode when it is submurged. Now I have to switch freediving each time I go to the water. If I forget to do it , I have to cancel scuba diving mode, it takes time while I have to work with my students already.
As for application. I want to analize each dive and see the data of each: speed, dive time, surface time, temperature and etc.

I know that steps and step counter is not crucial in a sports watch and step counter in Ocean from the last update is much better but that screen Steps for the last 7 days is completely wrong. Is that really that hard to calculate and give correct information
-
Guys I do have one strange bug. For example time of sunset in my location is 8:30 PM. While freediving in freedive mode it shows that time of sunset is different and much much different like 1:30 PM. GPS works and shows location correctly while i’m in water .
What can be wrong ?
-
I believe that is the time remaining to sunset. So in your example you would have 1 hour 30 minutes till the sun set.

@deserthike20 may be !

@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?
