Any update on new firmware release?
-
I sort of hope a delay in release of Nautic S means when it ships, many of its changes will make it to the updated Ocean, but it’s a very long shot at this point.
Usually a deafening silence about a product on one hand and the release of products that effectively are taking over (AMOLED Vertical 2 and Nautic S) on the other, means that yeah… Ocean is like that old grandpa at a family dinner, with everyone guessing if they still gonna see him next year.

Search the forum, it was written recently that Ocean is not dead.
But saying when something will be out, the answer is the usual one… -
Another update from Garmin https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/outdoor-recreation/f/fenix-8-series/431439/fenix-8-fenix-8-pro-microled-system-software-21-25
Their stuff is continuously supported, even multisport watches with diving functions - like Fenix 8.
Sad that Suunto, European brand is unable to keep the pace US brands, and is unable to write the firmware using partioned scheduling, asymmetric multi-processing,etc. for multi core applications…
nowadays software is what brings the most value

Suunto’s software is built with a strong focus on reliability, battery efficiency, and safety-critical performance, especially on diving products. Just like other global brands in this space, architectural decisions are driven by long-term stability and real-world use — not geography or marketing comparisons.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Sorry to say it, but if Reliability and Battery efficiency would be the focus for Multisport watches we wouldn’t have the current problems with Crashes, not working Bluetooth sensors and Battery drain.
For Dive products this might be. Had two Zoops, both died with depth sensor problems. So it wasn’t software… -
@VoiGAS not really sure why the chat here AGAIN, please keep this scoped before we pollute all threads with the same discussion.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos The question was why the Firmware is late and YOU started to argue. I doubted it and I think free exchange of opinions is what a forum is for. Also I think my post had no aggressive speech or similar in it. And my claims are well supported by user reports.
So I have no idea why you are saying MY post is off topic.
But this should end here - you accused me and I think I had all the right to defend myself -
Can we have confirmation that the ocean is now abandoned ?.
The recent release of the classic vertical watchface for the whole range and the fact it’s not available for ocean does reinforce the thought that suunto have killed any development.
-
@mcardlejon I would say it is abandoned, it feels like that. It seems like the watch came 5 years ago and not 2 years ago.
Shame… -

Is there any chance to get for the Ocean, an update similar to 2.50.28 released to other watches?
It’s a valid question considering how many features the other models just received. Usually, firmware for the diving line takes a bit longer to clear testing because of the safety-critical nature of the dive algorithms, even if the multisport features are already prepared.

we are cooking something
