Suunto Nautic S General Discussion

Really nice design, I like it a lot

@Tomas5
What do you mean, much less features?

It is lighter by 18g and has diving depth +20m. and 50% cheaper, same size and dimensions.
All it lacks is mobile notifications, media controls and physical heart rate / oxygen sensors and maybe some GPS special features.

And I think some of the features are not listed correctly, might be even closer. But basically, missing 24/7 monitoring and sports apps directly from wrist, but could utilize HR bands and other external sensors.

If I had to choose, between them now, I would really think twice before getting Ocean (fitness tracking is a bit gimicky, only nice to have feature).

@prakalejas well by official suunto uk comparison tool, lot of features are missing, activity tracking, sleep tracking, only dive modes instead of 95+ sport modes, no OHR and blood oxygen, no sleep tracking. Altimeter features seems missing. But maybe is just suunto comparison tool broken?

And by reading product page it looks like this are nice dive watch, but ocean looks like dive + sport watch in one, or am i mistaken? Anyway i am not diver so i was just curiouse about product but i am no target group.

@Tomas5 On the technical drawing it looks like it has OHR… this watch is a mystery. Really looking forward to the first reviews

@Tomas5 correct

Ocean = Dive + Sports
Nautic S = Dive Only

Does this completely kill sales and development of the D5?

When my Ocean died I went back to 9PP and D5. I’d forgotten how good the 9PP really is but the d5 felt awful to use.

I can’t see any scenario where a D5 competes with this new model.

the nylon strap looks great but is a strange choice for a dive watch. i love my garmin ultrafit but i hate getting it wet because it takes ages to dry, and feels uncomfortable if you wear it beforehand.

that said, suunto list it is a ‘textile’ strap rather then nylon so maybe they’ve solved this problem, somehow.

@pavel.samokha …and the cheaper Nautic S supports sidemount…which stuffs those of us who already bought an Ocean…and your silence suggests that how it will stay.

@GS-111 you really need to read what I wrote above

The ‘hope’ for ‘eventually’ and ‘mostly’ is very vague and not an official statement for suunto (although I hope that it will be the case as you probably internal information)

But - judging from the super slow and neglected ocean release cycle (compared to vertical for example)
Im not really optimistic in terms of timeline

My expectation as a customer would be that those features would be available on Ocean as soon as the Nautic S is officialy released and sold (as it means that those parts in the software are already implemented and tested)

Does anyone know something about the customizable displays of the Nautic S ? This is exactly what I’m waiting for on the Ocean.

This is the community forum, if you want official information it should be asked via other channels.

Dive and outdoor devices have different testing and different release cycles for obvious reasons
