Suunto App FAQ

Suunto app the future of our digital services and where our community connects. 

Before you get started: 

All of the watches have a way to connect to the app:

• either via Bluetooth: Ambit3, Traverse, Spartan, and Suunto 3,5,7, and 9. 
• or via USB cable and SuuntoLink: Ambit and Ambit2, but also Ambit3 and Traverse collections as an addition to the Bluetooth sync. 

Getting started: 

1. Download the Suunto app for your iOS or Android phone and create a new account (if you do not have one already). Alternatively, you can use an already existing Sports Tracker account. 
2. Pair your watch with the app and get acquainted with the new interface and all of the great customizing features the Suunto app has to offer. The app is fairly easy to navigate: the lower icon bar will guide you through the main options, such as Home, your Profile and your training & daily insights and Maps to create exciting new routes for your activities. 

How to connect and sync via Bluetooth: 

• Pair your device to the Suunto app. After the watch and the phone are connected, the sync of information starts automatically. 
• Tap the watch icon in the upper part of the app screen and check out the sync progress. 
• All the synced information will be available in your Diary. By tapping any exercise you can check the in-detail information of your training. 
• The sync between your watch and your phone starts automatically when you open the app provided the Bluetooth of both your phone and watch is activated and they are in the working range. 

How to connect and sync via USB cable and SuuntoLink:

In case you own an Ambit (1,2,3) or a Traverse watch after you have created an account, these are the next steps to follow:

• Download, install and open SuuntoLink on your computer. 
• Connect your watch to your computer via the supplied USB cable.
• SuuntoLink will recognize your device and will ask for your Suunto app credentials in case you have unsynced exercises. 

Note: You can only Log in with an already created Suunto app account (see above). You cannot create a new account in SuuntoLink. 

The Suunto app has received various improvements that will improve your training considerably. Here are the essential things you can do, and you need to know about to benefit from its development.


Keywords:

Popular starting point - while you check out the heatmap, you will come across several frequented spots by our community to start their training. 

Popular routes - select an area on the map and search for the most frequented routes our community members are also using in their training. 

Route - is the path you created or decided to take from point A (the starting point or the popular starting point you just saw) to point B (the endpoint). 

Waypoint - is an easy way to guide yourself with your Suunto watch.

POI (point of interest) is another way to mark a special place on a map or navigate a specific location. 

.gpx - just in case you already found a track you want to follow and you don't know how to add it to the Suunto app or export it from the Suunto app and use it with another service. 

Check out the best places for your activities:

Regardless of where you are and your plan, take your phone out and use the Suunto app to find the best routes for your next adventure. You can either tap the map preview on the home view of the Suunto app or the map icon in the access bar. Both will open up a map with the following options: 

• Map style/ map type: select the map type you need. It highlights the details you are interested in. 

• Heatmap: offers you an indication of the most frequented training spots per sport. Select the activity type for your heatmap and see where others are training.
  

• Road surface: adds a layer to the map allowing you to choose what type of surface you need for your training or adventure. You can select and highlight multiple surface types at the same time depending on your needs

• My tracks: show the tracks you have covered this week, month, this year in the last 30 days or a custom period. You can view your tracks on any map type. 

Find out where to get going from on your new adventure:                

According to your location, the Suunto app will also show you the area's popular routes and popular starting points. You can select the sport you are interested in routes for and go through all of the ones available in the area of your search. 

Tap on any of the popular routes, rename it so it's easier to identify it, edit the suitable activity type (optional) and Save it to your route gallery and sync it to your watch. 

Add more details to your route:   

You can add waypoints to your route and rename them to reflect the pit stops you are interested in. Tap and hold on a specific place along your way to add a waypoint.  

Select Turn-by-turn navigation on any route you created to get notifications on your watch and know which way to go. 

Select the 3D option to plan your routes even better. In the mountains or out on the trails, the 3D map view will offer more insight into the terrain and will help you tackle all those ups and downs. 

Create, import, and export routes for your training.

After you have checked out where other people are training and you know where you want to go, you can create your route or import it (.gpx format). Create a route in the Suunto app for iOS/Android and learn how to import a .gpx file to the app for iOS/Android. 

• You can use the data in the Suunto app with our partners and other 3rd party platforms.

The Suunto app is a versatile app that allows you to import and export information and connect with partner services to access all the training communities you might belong to. 

Types of files:

When you export your workout information, make sure you export the correct format. They contain various types of data that might be important to you. You can export your training or parts of your training in the following formats: 

• Export your training as GPX. 

A workout in a GPX format is a file including both location and time information from your workout (and, where available, heart rate data). Workouts in .gpx format can be imported to various services, but don’t contain all the information available in the Suunto app. 

• Export your route as GPX. 

A route in a GPX format is a file including only the location information from your workout. It is the track of your workout. Routes in .gpx format can be imported to various services to be used as navigation guidance. You can export a route from a workout or directly from the route gallery in the app. 

• Export your training as a FIT file. 

A workout in a FIT format is a file including all the relevant information from your workout: location, time, timestamps, heart rate, power, cadence, etc. They are the preferred format for workout export and use in different services.

How to export the files:

To export the information, go to any of your workouts available in the Suunto app, and in the top right corner, tap the three dots. Select the format you want to export the information in and save the file either on your device or directly open it in a compatible app. 

Note: exercise recordings without GPS will not have the possibility of exporting GPX files, only FIT files.

The Movescount exercise history transfer is an important part of our digital service transition.

We started a gradual roll-out to our community back in May of 2019 by enabling the transfer for Suunto 9, Spartan, Ambit3, Traverse and Traverse Alpha family watches and EON Dive computers.

The service is now enabled for all Suunto users to import their Movescount history to the Suunto app. Make sure you have downloaded the app.

The transfer might take some time, depending on how much information there is to transfer.

How to get started? 

1. Open Suunto app, and go to you user profile
2. Select “PARTNER SERVICES”
3. Movescount should be there. Tap on it and the app will guide you through the flow.
4. Tap on “IMPORT EXERCISE HISTORY”
5. Enter your Movescount email address and tap on “SEND VERIFICATION CODE”.
6. Once you get the code, copy/paste it in the dedicated field and tap on “SIGN IN”.
7. After entering your Movescount credentials, the data import will start automatically, and your Moves will be added to your Diary in the Suunto app. This can take between several minutes and several days, depending on the volume of data being transferred by the community at a given point in time.
8. We will send you an e-mail confirmation when the transfer is completed, and you’ll see “connected” under Movescount. 

Do you see duplicate Moves in the Suunto app? If you have used the Suunto app and Movescount in parallel and synced to both services, some Moves may be imported and create duplicates. If this is the case, we kindly ask you to manually delete the copy: Select the activity, tap Edit and Delete.  

Did you receive the confirmation and some Moves are missing from your history? You can re-create them manually in the Suunto app. Here is how you do it: Open the Suunto app, tap the + icon and choose “Add activity manually”. Fill in all available exercise data. 

What do I need to know? 

• The transfer is only one way – Movescount to Suunto app.  
• The data transfer is intended to be done only once.  
  It will contain all Moves synced to Movescount before the moment you start the transfer. 
• Imported exercises will be private by default in the Suunto app.
  Public exercises from Movescount will remain a data source for Heatmaps.
• Moves synchronized after enabling the transfer will not be synchronized to the Suunto app. 
• Moves that have been deleted in Movescount after May 2019 will be transferred to the Suunto app and may still appear in the Diary. If this is the case, we kindly ask you to delete them in the Suunto app manually.

What data will be transferred? 

The data transfer includes your Moves and the associated exercise data, including images.

The data transfer does not include: 

• Personal information, including body metrics 
  - Suunto 9 and Spartans: Your personal information will be synchronized to Suunto app once you connect your watch with the app. 
  - Ambit3 and Traverse watches: Currently, it is not possible to synchronize personal information to the Suunto app or edit the app's info. 
• Routes 
  - Suunto 9, Spartans & Suunto app for Android: Routes stored on your Suunto watch will be synchronized to Suunto app for Android once you connect your watch with the app. 
  - You can manually export all our routes from Movescount and import them to the Suunto app.
