The Oceanic app turns the AppleWatch Ultra into a dive computer, but is it only for the pros? Turns out, it's much more inspirational than expected.

The Apple Watch Ultra is an adventure smartwatch, with special features aimed at hikers, trekkers, outdoors enthusiasts, and divers. Apple collaborated with Huish Outdoors to create the newly released Oceanic+ app, which in combination with the sensors on the Apple Watch Ultra, turns it into a fully functioning, certified dive computer.

What about certification? The Apple Watch Ultra has both EN 13319 and WR100 certifications. The WR100 rating means the Ultra has a water resistance rating of 100 meters, and the EN 13319 certification means it meets an engineering standard set for depth gauges, and devices with combined depth and dive time measurement. It also covers water resistance and operation of the product, ensuring it’s suitable for use underwater.

The Oceanic+ app The Oceanic+ app is up and ready to go in a few moments. If you don’t pay for the subscription then you can only use the snorkeling feature, which shows the maximum depth reached, how many sessions you’ve logged in a set time period, the time of your dive, and the temperature. Scroll down with the Digital Crown, and the compass shows on the screen.

Previous Next 1 of 7 If you’ve used a fitness tracking app, you won’t have any problem understanding and using the Oceanic+ app. It’s clear the intention was to make it accessible to beginners and learners, and even when using it on dry land, the Watch app’s usability is obvious. Because the screen is locked, you can’t accidentally cancel the activity, and you need a long press of the Digital Crown to exit the dive program. It’s all very easy to use, just like the Apple Watch itself.

Previous Next 1 of 3 Elsewhere, the GWF-D1000 has a tide indicator that can be manually set to a specific location, a moon phase indicator, a temperature gauge, and all the usual G-Shock watch features — such as alarms, the world time, a timer, and a very bright backlight. It’s solar-powered and uses the MultiBand 6 radio wave system to maintain accurate time.
