Suunto Nautic S General Discussion

@VoiGAS said in Suunto Nautic S General Discussion:

@Nandodiver Nice! Are there any features you can use on land? I guess Altimeter and Compass will work, how about maps and navigation?

On land

Compass
TIDE
Weather & location
Sunset & sunrise, Moon phases
Iphone notifications

Suunto Nautic Vs Suunto Nautic S

Overall both dive computers are really well built, the Nautic S seems a bit “invisible” compared with more robust Nautic.

In terms of visibility both are very good, the best among different models i bought over the years.

They both match all the diving settings of each other, safety stop, depth, temperature, etc etc

[VoiGAS]

@Nandodiver Very interesting! So there is no difference in functionality, just the screen? Do you know if the Nautic S can handle Trimix? RGBM model is not available on both, right?

[Nandodiver]

@VoiGAS no Trimix for Nautic S

No RGBM on both

Its seems the Nautic S gps is more accurate than the Nautic regarding 3D MAP

ive used the Nautic S on left arm and the Nautic on right arm

The dive profile 3D on the Nautic S translates the dive we did.
There was some illegal fishing traps/rope in Marine park and we went to “investigate” and return to the same place using the same rope from fishing traps

The Nautic GPS route deviate a lot more than it supposed to…
Something that the software team should investigate…

@nandodiver hi. i have two questions. does Suunto nautic s support 3D dive map sharing like in suunto Ocean? lastly, would you prefer it to the Garmin Descent G2? thanks

[Nandodiver]

@Algebra Heres 2 screenshots of sharing 3D maps

i would prefer the Suunto S to G2 just because as option to use air transmitter.
The G2 has option to more gases CCR, trimix.

I think depends what type of diving you do… if you dive up to 60m the Suunto S is more than enough.
if you do sidemount, Nautic S for sure…

@Nandodiver i’m a 3-star CMAS diver. for training purposes, we dive to a maximum depth of 42 meters. they said that due to Suunto issues, their sensors were unreliable, but I really liked the Nautic S, especially its visible screen and design. thank you very much.

[Nandodiver]

Last weekend did a dive with multiple gases (Air + 50% Nitrox)

I notice that in the Nautic the dive planner gives you option plan the dive with or without Deco with multiple gases, the Nautic S planner is limited to one gas… is just the basic depth limitations of air or nittrox… not really a planner in Nautic S

I take very good care of my belongings and only wore the Nautic S for one day around the office and it already has a scratch on the bezel. I have no idea how it got there - I didn’t bang or scratch it as far as I know. I wonder what it will look like after a day on a boat and a few dives… Very disappointing for a sports watch to have such fragile bezel coating.
