Suunto app is now available for Apple silicon M1 Macs from App Store

[B.Rom]

Hi everyone
Sorry if I posted a comment here, but I did download the app suunto from appstore on my MacBook Air M2, but it appears that it doesn’t find my Suuntoo 5, I mean when I open the app on the Macbook I don’t see any watch icone on the app
The bluetooth is on

Do you have any idea ?
Thank for your answer

@B-Rom your watch can be paired only to one device.

@B-Rom the app does not use BT on osx

[B.Rom]

@DMytro
hii I have no other device paired with

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
oh okay, so how can I pair the Suunto with mac os ?

[DMytro]

@B-Rom I see. Ok, I also didn’t know that mac doesn’t use bt, so apparently you can’t connect direclty to pc. Only view already synced data.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@B-Rom you cannot. You can keep the watch paired with the phone and see from your computer your data.

How would I Link an Ambit 2 to a phone or iPad? The Ambit2 doesn’t have bluetooth.

According to Suunto I have to link the Ambit 2 to my commuter via the charging cable, the same way I did it with MovesCount.

Except I have a 2019 MacBook Pro that runs on Intel not the Apple chip.

Is there ANY solution beside buying either a new watch or a new laptop??

@Larry-Salvatore you need to use Suuntolink and Suunto App.

Hi! tryed to install suunto app on my M1 MacBook Pro with system 15.7.1, which according to requirements in Apple Store should be ok to run the app.
After installation app runs, but no screen is displayed and, after a while, the only possible option if to force quit.
App is running OK on a M2 macbook Air instead. Is there a mistake in the requirements for the app and it can’t be run on M1 devices?

@dacosta78 I cannot say why it doesn’t work for you, but Suunto App works okay on Macbook M1 Pro

[dacosta78]

@pavel.samokha Thank you for your reply confirming that works on M1 devices. I will investigate a little bit further.

[Brad_Olwin]

@dacosta78 Min ran on M1 but I no longer have an M1.

Hello, I just discovered that if I disable Bluetooth, the app starts up and works fine, but if I re-enable it, the app crashes again. (I read the incident report created by the system to send to Apple and found something related to Bluetooth there).
Is this something that might interest the team developing the app? How can this information be sent to them?

This is almost unreadable for me, tiny fonts (I see a pattern here) - I hope Suunto create a dedicated app or even a web app with dark mode.
