I have used the Stryd 5.0 with my Suunto Run for a couple of months now.
There haven’t been any reactions or comments from Suunto or Stryd in their own forums related to this topic, and because this has been open for so long, I don’t expected that it would be fixed anytime soon.
For any Suunto user that is thinking about buying a Stryd pod, here is how the integration currently works between Suunto and Stryd:
After installing the Stryd app, you will need setup the Stryd app and configure it to use the Suunto API.
When the Stryd app has been configured, you can connect the Stryd pod as a foot pod with your Suunto watch.
After finishing a run with the Stryd pod connected to the watch, disconnect the Stryd pod from your watch and open the Suunto app to sync your run.
After syncing with Suunto app, the workout will appear in the Stryd app, and the Stryd app will ask you some questions about the workout. At this point the workout is still missing most of the data from the Stryd pod.
When the workout is visible in the Stryd app, you will need to select your Stryd pod inside the Stryd app and perform an offline sync of the Stryd pod data.
After finishing with the offline sync, your run inside the Stryd app also includes the data recorded by the Stryd pod.
By following the steps above, you will have all the data, but you will still need to use both the Suunto and Stryd apps to view your data, as the data recorded by the Stryd pod is only visible in the Stryd app (expect for the Power metric, which is recorded by Suunto).
If you want to properly analyze your workout, you will need to use both apps.
