Freediving data screen fix!!!!!!

Danny poleg

The problem
with freediving is the data display there is no possibility of one screen containing both the dive time and the surface time.
You have to switch from one screen to the other and this is not practical in freediving at our age. But interestingly it does exist in the D4

In my opinion this is a matter of a significant safety issue.
From conversations with friends I think this is the most needed improvement right now.

@Danny-poleg Totally agree. It has been highlighted a few times in other posts aswell.

@marbjo for sure. Let’s boost this discussion may be they’ll see it

@Danny-poleg I’m not the right person to tag, especially on dive, but I transmitted this message. I’ve been told that feedback is monitored, and the issue is acknowledged. I would expect this to be improved in the future updates, but as usual dive updates are taking time to be released.

@pavel.samokha First of all, thank you very much
I’m sure you know who to refer the issue to and I know it will be addressed

Hello everyone. I own a D3, a first D4 from 2008 (no longer works), and a D4f—which I use and find excellent. I recently treated myself with the Ocean, I tested it in the sea last week and was bitterly disappointed. The most fundamental and essential functions—surface interval and last dive time—are not displayed on the same screen. You have to press buttons in the middle of a dive just to access the information that is most critical for us spearfishermen, the duration of the last dive and the surface interval.
While the watch is excellent for other sports, I had assumed it would be perfect for diving as well and I am deeply disappointed.
Could you please let me know if there will be an update for freediving?
If the interface had been designed like the one on the D4, it would have been more than satisfactory. Instead, they’ve overcomplicated it with a bunch of data that’s irrelevant to us, while the essential information isn’t available on a single display!

@Karlo_Spearfisher Not sure as I don’t have an Ocean.
But I see something like this in the release notes:
Feature: Add switch window customization to freedive (Ocean, Nautic S)

Not sure if it is helpful for you.
