After a busy day yesterday, I am lying by the pool in Fiji with my Ultra still on 30%. The wifi and cell reception here is dodgy but the diving and fishing are fabulous.
Two dives in the am and four hours of game fishing made me glad to have the ultra and hungry for the true dive app to come.
The morning dives were a pinnacle dive and swim through at 21m then spiral around to the surface over 39 min. Second was a variable
depth series of caves for the first half then gradual ascent through coral heads.
I had set the watch to an open workout to see how it monitored HR and O2 sat on the first dive. The dive app didn’t auto switch on at immersion and underwater the touch screen is inactive so I had no data on screen during that dive. It’s all there as a log afterward but I couldn’t bring it up during the dive. Maybe if I set my apps to a list I can use the crown wheel to select?
Second dive - no workout selected and the depth log clicked in straight away. I had good data during the dive. Clear to read even in the cave.
Track to and from the dive site was logged with compass and waypoints so I can pinpoint the cave site for my log. Still working on downloading this data as maps and tracks. I’m not familiar with GPX files but expect it will become clear over time.
In the afternoon of game fishing we travelled about 50 miles of open ocean to coral heads and bommies catching bonito and Spanish mackerel. Each hook up was logged in a second as a waypoint and the track logged. Now how do I get the data out????
Ever since my cardiac arrhythmia was picked up on an earlier watch ECG app, I have seen the utility of this “ultimate” tool watch. Now treated, I can confidently enjoy my active lifestyle.
It’s not a Seamaster for style but for a watch I use when active, it ticks a lot of boxes.
A great next iteration for Apple. As my phone is getting flat by 1pm here, the Apple Watch Ultra “ticks on” without a charge.
