Sunnto App - display dive logs
-
I would like to suggest some improvement for dive logs. For example, you can compare with Garmin that has not diving as their first priority even though they have a Diving Computer.
First thing is how the diving information is displayed. For most of the divers, specially beginners, we are used to the classic “tub” with surface time, depth, dive time, safety stop etc. By integrate the “tub” makes it simpler to get a quick overview of your actually dive. Suunto you can compare to Garmin.
Second, write manually additional information. Today Suunto App is lack of adding information such as tank volume, diving gear etc. Of course, you have the possibility to write in the free text space, but there are no designated field for others. Again, compare with Garmin Connect.
Third, and which is very annoying is, time. For example, if you have dived in Dominican Republic at 11:00 hrs and then sync EonCore to Suunto App you get a different time based on your present time zone, Sweden 17:00 hrs. I’m not interested in what time in Sweden I dived I’m interested in what time I dived in Dominican Republic! -
@EonCore does the time change if you set the dive location?
-
The time change if change time zone in my iPhone.
-
@EonCore I know that. I’m asking if you added a location for your dive, because maybe that’ll lock the activity to a given timezone.
-
Yes, I did. And regardless location it should be the actual divetime that should be displayed.
-
Well yes and no. There is another discussion on the forum about activities without GPS, and I assume dive computers also don’t have GPS. I’ll link it here when I find it.

Do not make so complicated. The only thing I´m after is to show the actual time the dive was conducted regardless Time Zone (TZ). I understand that some would also be able to present the dive time based on current time in a different TZ. In that case Apple have a solution in their Calendar in iPhone and iPad that you can “lock” TZ to one specific. Then you meet both requests.

@EonCore I understand well I think the problem here.
I will report this.
I just want to verify one thing. Have you set a location to your dive in Suunto app?
