Pool/Openwater Swimming Suggestions

@Reino-von-Wielligh sorry, what I mean is that I have an Ocean with a newer firmware and wanted to check if drills are there or not, but have no idea how that works, so cannot test. If you know how it works I will test it. If not there, I will report that the feature should get to the Ocean.
Because of hardware limitations, and the fact that the Ocean has all the diving features, there are some other features that are not going to make it there. But I hope drills are not one of them.

@isazi Thank you very much, if you can please see the drill mode as in the Q2 video release by Suunto and test it for me. It is a must feature and this can’t be a hardware limitation issue for swim drill mode.
If it is there and you can see it, please let me know, that at least I know it should be coming.
I swim about 60km a week and would love to use this feature, and would even help with the testing on the Ocean if possible, at all.

@isazi if it is implemented like in Race and other newer watches, just scroll down in a indoor swimming sport mode and you should find the “drill option”

@Reino-von-Wielligh I checked (thanks @sergiob also for the pointer) and currently in the latest test firmware the Ocean does not have the swim drills functions. I sent a message to someone at Suunto saying that this is a feature that the Ocean should have. I will let you know if I get a reply, or if this function appears in testing at some point.

@isazi Thank you very much, I appreciate it. It’s a fairly easy implementation, I think this was purely missed with the last update, which is a pity, and hopefully they will include it now, since it’s not in the current test firmware as on your watch. I hope the next firmware update is around the corner. Also thank to @sergiob for pointing out where this should be in the menu. I can only hope to see it in the Ocean soon.

Hi @isazi I am just following up if you heard anything from Suunto OR if this has made it to the testing Ocean branch perhaps?
-
Hi @isazi do we have any feedback from Suunto yet on this perhaps?
-
@Reino-von-Wielligh there was a request for missing features in the Ocean from the feature set of the other watches, and I mentioned what you reported, that drills are not there and they should be. If it shows up in the testing firmware I will let you know.

@isazi I hope you are well, its been a month since I last checked in and I am not sure if this is good news as this has been missing from the test firmware since our first contact 7 weeks back ? Please confirm if this feature has showed up on the Ocean test firmware yet?

@Reino-von-Wielligh I do not see the swim drills in the Ocean software
