Suunto Ocean general discussion
-
@Ben-Woodard when you go in to an activity, check the activity settings before starting the activity. There is a display setting there and within that is buried the said AoD setting. This has to be set one time for each activity.
-
@altcmd Nope. The Ocean doesn’t have that in the current firmware. Under each activity type there are only.
- Battery Mode,
- Navigation,
- Map,
- SuuntoPlus,
- Intensity Zones,
- Target,
- GPS,
- Wrist HR,
- Sensors,
- intervals,
- Autolap,
- Voice feedback
- Media Controls,
- Autopause,
- feeling.
No Display item on the Ocean in 2.36.18 which is the latest when I’m writing this…
-
@Ben-Woodard maybe some tester here with an Ocean and Race S can confirm if there is a difference between the watch firmwares. Sorry I don’t have an Ocean to cross-check this.

Hello,
(I’m French, sorry for the translation).I am going to replace my Scubapro Galileo luna with a computer watch.
Since the SUUNTO OCEAN has the compass function, is it possible to lock a heading (bloquer un un cap en français) by pressing a button or does the compass function not allow this function for the moment ?
And what other functions are visible at the same time as the compass function ?
thank you for your replies
-
If you really need a compass, it is not time to buy an Ocean. Wait for the next update to make your choice.
-
@RIKO14 Bearings lock and options for a full compass arch have been added in the latest update.

See images below.
I hope this helps.

Hi, I have the opportunity to buy a new Ocean with full warranty for a very good price. But I’m a little worried about the display burning out. I sometimes use maps with navigation all day - 12 hour bike ride (a couple of times a year) Isn’t there a risk of burning the arrow with my location, which is static? Or a zoom number?
I have a Vertical, which I am very happy with. So there’s also the question of whether this upgrade makes sense.🔺Vertical All Black
ex:
Ambit2 Black
Ambit3 Peak Sapphire
Spartan Ultra Stealth Titanium
S9B All Black

@Pavlas For Cycling you should be aware of the differences AMOLED vs MIP. Being an AMOLED Watch the Suunto will not display Values and Maps in Full Brightness all the time. You have to use Lift to wake or push a button to read. The good news is: This should prevent the screen to burn in.
-
@Pavlas what is a very good price?
-
@Pavlas I own both and normally I would be the one advocating for the preservation of MIP tech…
But, Suunto’s UI simply wants to live in AMOLED world—text crisp, colors vibrant, and gradients dynamic. It makes for a more luxurious experience and as @VoiGAS mentioned burn-in shouldn’t be of critical concern.
Congratulations on the upgrade.

@Jonathan-C @VoiGAS
Thanks for the feedback. I’m still comparing both watches. It is true that the maps on the amoled display are amazing. And I thought the Vertical had great maps too. The amoled display is very addictive. -
I am looking at this watch and saw the list of issues with a lot of the functions back in November. Are there still problems with the GPS, Altitude, heart rate, no fly, sleep, and step accuracy?
-
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.
