Featuring multiple dive modes, wireless tank pressure support and extensive set of alarms for scuba and freediving; more than 95 default sport modes, GPS, barometer, offline maps and advanced training features for sports; and finally on-wrist heart rate with activity tracking for daily use, this device ensures you stay in tune wherever you’re exploring.

Suunto Ocean combines Suunto’s renowned quality from its dive devices and outdoor sports watches, culminating in the ultimate all-in-one companion packed with the latest features. This innovation has been recognized with an ISPO Award, a highly regarded honor for excellence in sports technology and design.

“This long awaited new launch is a natural step for Suunto as it brings together all we have learned throughout our almost 90 years of equipping people for adventures. Suunto Ocean is an ultimate device bringing together our heritage from compasses, dive computers, and outdoor watches. Designed, tested and trusted by dive and sports pros.” Petri Lehtovirta, Suunto’s Head of Product

Featuring a large, vibrant color display, the Suunto Ocean ensures exceptional readability and usability in all conditions. Dive enthusiasts will appreciate its dive modes for scuba and even technical diving, including nitrox and the Suunto Bühlmann 16 GF algorithm. Additionally, freedivers and snorkelers will find dedicated dive modes to suit their needs. Pairing seamlessly with the Suunto Tank POD before diving allows users to monitor tank pressure, gas consumption, and remaining gas time directly from their wrist. To enhance safety during dives, the Suunto Ocean offers an extensive selection of customizable audio and vibration alarms.

After the dives, the Suunto Ocean seamlessly transitions into a trustworthy companion for monitoring daily activity, everyday exercise, and more extreme exploration. With over 95 diverse sport modes, ranging from trail running and cycling to swimming and yoga, each equipped with carefully selected default data fields, it caters to every fitness enthusiast.

The Suunto Ocean monitors steps, calories, heart rate, sleep (including sleep stages), and recovery metrics with heart rate variability analysis for daily activity tracking. Moreover, its premium outdoor features, such as detailed outdoor offline maps that are globally available free of charge, a top-tier GNSS system for precise location tracking, and a barometer for accurate altitude readings and storm alarms, make it the preferred choice for all above-surface adventures.

Last year, we redefined our design direction, and the Suunto Ocean is a continuation of this transformation. It’s equally at home whether diving or doing any other outdoor sports. It not only performs great but also looks the part. And you can proudly wear it every day, when preparing for your next diving trip or just dreaming about it.” Mikko Ahlström, Suunto’s Head of Design.

Suunto Ocean packs a battery life that won’t stop you adventuring: its rechargeable battery delivers up to 60 hours of diving and 50 hours of continuous outdoor GPS tracking on a single charge. In daily mode, Suunto Ocean remains by your side for up to 26 days before needing a recharge, and when it’s time to power up, it does so quickly.

Crafted in Finland at Suunto’s factory, Suunto Ocean reflects our commitment to sustainability and transparency. We’re proud to manufacture it with 100% renewable energy. With this new launch, we continue our efforts toward sustainability by calculating and verifying the carbon footprint of Suunto Ocean and offsetting it with Verified Carbon Units. 1 During its whole lifespan Suunto Ocean creates only 11.63 kg of CO2e – the equivalent of driving a combustion engine car for 70 km.2 The offsetting initiative involves planting coastal mangrove forests, which not only stabilize shorelines but also remove pollutants, improve water quality, and provide crucial nursery habitats for fisheries.

Setting a new standard in the industry, Suunto introduces a groundbreaking feature with the Suunto Ocean: the ability for users to view their underwater route in their Suunto app logbook after each dive. Additionally, entry and exit points may be marked in the logbook. This route tracking functionality will be initially launched as a beta version and will continue to be developed further, ensuring users have access to the most innovative and user-friendly diving experience.

All the logs from dive to sports and everyday will be stored in one same app. For tracking sports and daily activity, the Suunto app offers a dedicated Training Zone where users can monitor their training load, progress, recovery, and sleep analysis. Additionally, users can leverage AI-based Suunto Coaches for personalized training insights. Partner services such as Strava, Training Peaks, and Komoot seamlessly connect users to their community, fostering competition and inspiring new adventures.

The Suunto Ocean will be available in three different versions, each compatible with a wide variety of accessory straps for dive, sports and everyday. It is set to hit selected markets for purchase in summer 2024.
