Suunto Ocean general discussion
-
What 22mm extension strap you bought that doesnt fit well? For D4i (OEM) or some 3rd party manufactured? (Aliexpress etc).
Can you take picture of that extension conected to original SO strap?
Thanks in advance

@dreammaster @diogao13 why don’t you open a separate thread to discuss straps?
-
@isazi, can you move these last conversations to a new thread?
-
Anyone knows when will the 2.35.34 update come to Ocean?

Bought Suunto Ocean & Pod to replace an ageing Suunto D4i & SPG as a wristwatch sized dive computer and pressure gauge.
I don’t want the sports, GPS and health tracking stuff and so turned off everything like that I could find in the menus. It took about 30 minutes to load a few of the maps and I haven’t bothered to look at them since. I set the dual time for my home zone and on flying I used the “airplane mode”. On landing and connecting to my iPhone again the time zones changed as expected.
For diving I changed the safety stop to 4 mins (conservative from the usual 3) and the start of dive depth to 1m (from the default 1.2m) and added a 100 BAR pressure alarm (a 50 alarm is preloaded and quite rightly can’t be deleted).
I have now completed 21 dives on different Nitrox mixes. It takes just seconds to change the EAN value after checking the gas before a dive. The Pod connected every time and stayed connected without fail. At the end of dive the watch synced the dive log to my iPhone when they were close together again.
The battery lasted all week on a 19 dive liveaboard. The AMOLED screen is easy to read in poor viz and at night. The core information is just what you need to see and the choice of Tank Pressure or “other stuff”, easy to navigate with single button presses while diving. The alarms work well underwater and did not seem to bother other divers, and the safety stop count down and changes from NDL to Deco time and back again are seamless.
As a dive computer for Air/Nitrox on single tanks or manifold twins for divers who don’t use a compass (whether they carry it or not) it is excellent. So that is well over 90% of all dives and divers. It is not suitable for side mount (independent twins), trimix or CCR and does not claim to be – and it is about half the price of computers that are.

Guys , I have a question. I’m running with Ocean and it measures cadence like i’m on a bicycle, it must be in steps per minute, but its in evolutions per minute …
Trying to find how to turn it.
Anyone knows ? -
@Maximfreediver running cadence is always the full period from right foot to right foot.
Has always been like this in all Suunto watches.
I think there is no “must be like this or that”. The value shown is the period, not half of it. -
@Egika I see. I used Garmin , they do it in steps per minute
-
@Maximfreediver Usually just multiply by 2 if you need the step cadence Suunto has always been showing the full rotation/revolution (2 steps).

@Maximfreediver yes, different philosophies.
