Suunto Nautic S General Discussion

[Patrick D]

@Nandodiver Nope

[Nandodiver]

The Nautic S is now available to buy

[VoiGAS]

Interesting. There is a new 3D image on the website now. No OHR Sensor, so its not just stripped Software

[VoiGAS]

@Patrick-D But comparsion view on Suunto website says ‘Yes’ for ‘Helium’. For Nautic S, but not for Ocean. Also the Nautic S can operate to 80m and Ocean only 60m. Thats strange, I guess to comparsion view needs an update for both watches

[Nandodiver]

@VoiGAS
The Nautic S intends to be the best recreational dive computer without all the multisports and its 250€ cheaper than Ocean.

The Nautic S competes with Mares sirius, dive ratio, Mission 3, descent G2, Teric, Galileo G3
The Ocean competes with fenix 8 & apple watch ultra 2
The MK3 competes in league on is own, also in much higher price

In my opinion the Nautic S is excellent dive computer for recreational dive with Air integrated at super price.

[Nandodiver]

After checking the manual of the suunto nautic S, i just ordered one

I like the looks and functions of the Ocean, but i dont need all the multisports.

@Nandodiver Comparison on Suunto home page doesn’t seem correct. E.g. Ocean nowadays has surface time notify.

[Nandodiver]

@marbjo you might be right about surface time…

Also ive found in other groups someone mention the diferences between Ocean and Nautic S

***Thanks for your feedback! The Ocean and Nautic S have different features due to hardware differences. We’re always improving via firmware updates, but some advanced Nautic S functions may not come to the Ocean.
Keep your device updated, and feel free to share any feature requests!

The Nautic S supports dual transmitter for sidemount diving and be able to display simultaneously the pressure in each of two tanks.

The Suunto Ocean currently does not support simultaneous display of two tank pressures for sidemount diving. It can connect to multiple Tank PODs, but only the active gas’s pressure is shown. Unlike the Nautic S, dual‑tank display is not available on Ocean, and there’s no official confirmation it will be added in the future.***

Just received the Suunto S

First impressions
The watch itself looks awesome, very bright and clean, really well built, the strap could be better.
Perfect size for my wrist
The Menus are all new for me… still learning where is what

Transferring maps right now.
i will do Side-by-side comparison this weekend between nautic & nautic s underwater.

@Nandodiver Nice! Are there any features you can use on land? I guess Altimeter and Compass will work, how about maps and navigation?

Suunto Nautic Vs Suunto Nautic S

Overall both dive computers are really well built, the Nautic S seems a bit “invisible” compared with more robust Nautic.

In terms of visibility both are very good, the best among different models i bought over the years.

They both match all the diving settings of each other, safety stop, depth, temperature, etc etc

[VoiGAS]

@Nandodiver Very interesting! So there is no difference in functionality, just the screen? Do you know if the Nautic S can handle Trimix? RGBM model is not available on both, right?

[Nandodiver]

@VoiGAS no Trimix for Nautic S

No RGBM on both

[Nandodiver]

Its seems the Nautic S gps is more accurate than the Nautic regarding 3D MAP

ive used the Nautic S on left arm and the Nautic on right arm

The dive profile 3D on the Nautic S translates the dive we did.
There was some illegal fishing traps/rope in Marine park and we went to “investigate” and return to the same place using the same rope from fishing traps

The Nautic GPS route deviate a lot more than it supposed to…
Something that the software team should investigate…

@nandodiver hi. i have two questions. does Suunto nautic s support 3D dive map sharing like in suunto Ocean? lastly, would you prefer it to the Garmin Descent G2? thanks

[Nandodiver]

@Algebra Heres 2 screenshots of sharing 3D maps

i would prefer the Suunto S to G2 just because as option to use air transmitter.
The G2 has option to more gases CCR, trimix.

I think depends what type of diving you do… if you dive up to 60m the Suunto S is more than enough.
if you do sidemount, Nautic S for sure…

[Algebra]

@Nandodiver i’m a 3-star CMAS diver. for training purposes, we dive to a maximum depth of 42 meters. they said that due to Suunto issues, their sensors were unreliable, but I really liked the Nautic S, especially its visible screen and design. thank you very much.

[Nandodiver]

Last weekend did a dive with multiple gases (Air + 50% Nitrox)

I notice that in the Nautic the dive planner gives you option plan the dive with or without Deco with multiple gases, the Nautic S planner is limited to one gas… is just the basic depth limitations of air or nittrox… not really a planner in Nautic S
