@Brad_Olwin should consider this watch over vertical or race if i am not doing diving? It is really beautiful but heavy watch
I would get either the Vertical or Race titanium instead, they are much lighter if you do no diving. The battery life on the Ocean and Race should be identical. I need the battery life of the Vertical, that is why I purchased a Vertical for my own use. I do like the Race a lot but want to have maps when I do longer races.

At the moment it doesnât have the new functionalities that the Race will have soon, but that will follow.
Vertical too?
-
@Tami999 Vertical is getting the update in a few weeks, same as Race and S9PP
-
Am I mistaken or does Ocean have a new font?
-
@cjanevate I did not notice that, but my eye for graphical things is not good
Edit: oh, the new watch face, all watches will get that (without the no fly complications)
-
@isazi Right, I assumed that the whole system was interested
-
Awesome. This watch was made for me.
Do any of the testers know if the OHR works at depth to record heart rate while SCUBA diving? -
@Alejandro interesting! Most testers here were only involved on testing the âabove groundâ part of the watch, but I can ask.
-
how about the availability of the watch? I.e.: It is out of stock everywhere
-
I was lucky enough to see the Ocean when I visited HQ recently!
-
@Zlati wait a little. The stock levels will be updated to the real values within a few days
-
@Alejandro okay, first answer I got: it works snorkeling for sure. I am waiting for some diver to reply.

Just an opinion - If you want AMOLED watch without crown, okay (or even happy) with relatively heavy and big watch, then Suunto Ocean is great. I believe it has the best look on the market.
I know people inside and outside Suunto who happily use Suunto Ocean as their main outdoor watch.But should keep in mind that Suunto Ocean software can be updated not as often as dedicated outdoor devices.
-
Just curious⊠is there any legislation around dive watches for manufacturers? Or is it just like building outdoor/sports watches?
-
@surfboomerang Dive devices pass special testing, and there are special standards for it, like EN 13319:2000.

-
Does anybody know how to create new activity with custom fields on Ocean, this was always inside App but i can not find it there now?
-
I am so tempted by the Suunto Ocean. It is so beautiful. On the other hand the upcoming firmware update for Race and Vertical are also super intriguing. Now: Difficult question: When can we expect a similar software update for the Ocean? Someone already mentioned definitely later then Race and Vertical and less frequent.
-
@Patrick-Löffler-0 we can expect the Ocean getting some (all?) of the Race features, but not sure when. A quarterly release cycle for this watch is probably not happening.
-
@isazi Thanks for your fast answer. Still. Such a great looking watch!
