At the 2025 DEMA Show, Suunto revealed its newest flagship dive computer series, the Suunto Nautic and Suunto Nautic S, introduced by the company as a bold new era in Suunto’s dive computing.
Designed to build on Suunto’s long history of precision dive instrumentation, the Nautic series aims to deliver a clearer, more durable and more versatile dive platform for recreational and technical divers alike. Suunto positions the new series as a next generation solution for divers who want advanced capability without compromising simplicity or reliability.
What is new
Display and readability
The Suunto Nautic features a 3.26 inch AMOLED display with 720 x 382 resolution, engineered for high visibility in low light and challenging underwater conditions. The wrist sized Suunto Nautic S uses the same AMOLED visual technology in a smaller and more streamlined wearable format. Both models are detailed on Suunto’s official product pages for the Nautic and Nautic S.
Battery performance
According to Suunto, the Nautic delivers up to 120 hours of dive time on a single charge. The Nautic S offers up to 60 hours of dive time depending on dive mode and settings. These specifications are confirmed on Suunto’s detailed pages for the Nautic and Nautic S.
Advanced dive functions
Both computers support single gas and multi gas diving, sidemount configurations, and full compatibility with Suunto wireless tank pressure transmitters. The Nautic series also includes GPS features for surface navigation along with planning tools, compass functions and weather related information.
Who the models are designed for
The Nautic is built for divers who want a large format, full featured dive computer with maximum screen clarity. The Nautic S is designed for divers who prefer a compact wrist computer but still need advanced features suitable for recreational, technical or freediving environments. These intended use cases are outlined in Suunto’s specifications for the Nautic and Nautic S.
Why this matters
For dive operators, liveaboard teams, technical divers and serious holiday travellers, the Nautic series represents a meaningful jump in display clarity, battery confidence and all round capability. The readability of the AMOLED display and the endurance of the battery make these models suitable for multi day dive trips, remote expeditions and night diving where consistent reliability is essential.
In regions such as the Red Sea where strong ambient light, deep profiles and full day schedules are the norm, the Nautic and Nautic S will be particularly appealing. Built in navigation and gas management tools reduce the need for external devices and keep divers focused on the dive rather than the gear.
Release timeline
Suunto confirms the Nautic will be released globally in late 2025 with the Nautic S following shortly after. Availability and regional timelines will be updated on the official Suunto Nautic pages as launch milestones approach.
The Scuba News verdict
For our community of professional divers, liveaboard travellers and adventure focused enthusiasts, Suunto’s Nautic line is one of the most significant dive computer launches of the year. The combination of a large high resolution display, robust dive modes, wireless tank pressure integration and strong battery performance creates a serious tool for divers who rely on their technology as part of their safety system.
The Nautic S offers a compelling alternative for divers who want a smaller profile with nearly the same capability. It is likely to become a favourite among freedivers and recreational divers who want a premium Suunto experience without a larger console style format.
