Apple Watch Ultra using Bühlmann for its Dive Mode

[Scared Silly]

Huish owns the distribution rights to Suunto products in the US. Suunto is a Finnish subsidiary of a Chinese company.

Just to be pedantic: Suunto is a subsidiary of Amer Sports. Since 2019 Amer Sports has been owned by the Chinese group Anta Sports.

Sorry I was not paying attention. Is the subscription model needed to get the dive computer to work? Or is it just a dive log storage facility?

The subscription is needed for the dive computer to function in Scuba mode. I believe it will still function in Apnea modes or gauge modes. But it’s not really a dive computer unless the subscription is current.

Exactly, check out Scuba Divers Magazine YouTube page for a quick explanation.

I’m on a cruise right now so have limited ability to search and stream videos - do we know whether the compass will work without the app? I’d imagine it would, since a compass is standard anyway on Apple watches.

i Like this Ultra, has more features and sensors than any other dive computer (except ai), and the price is reasonable. What’s really great is it is a mobile phone watch, meaning in an emergency , you can make Phone calls or send text messages on the surface! (Unless you are diving somewhere really remote)Even the siren feature can be useful on the surface when trying to get the attention of a distant boat.….

i am sure later on there will be even more dive computer apps to choose from.
