Zwift
-
@altcmd I don’t use Swift but do record longer bike rides both on the Suunto Vertical and a Wahoo. Both share to Strava.
My solution is to put my default for activities to visible only to me. Then go in and delete one of the activities. Then make the other one visible to everyone.
A simple work around which I find easy to manage. After all how often don’t we go into Strava to adjust at least name an activity.I also find it handy as I take the noise out of my account by not making visible yoga work outs and short walks but I do want to record.

so I connected the trainer as a Powerpod to the Vertical, and I got power and cadence transmitted to the watch but not speed (and distance), so after the exercise I manually entered the distance to the watch (and deleted the duplicates).
Probably have to try to connect it as a BikePOD and se what data I get. Deleting the data duplicates in Strava and TP seems inevitable for now, as I have different sports that I want to be synced from SA but love the pictures that Zwift adds.

@Ketoohs Speed and distance are calculated by Zwift itself based on the virtual terrain, so you’re not going to get those no matter what from the trainer. If you do get speed from the trainer it’ll be the flywheel speed most likely, which is not equivalent so you’d have to alter it to match Zwift again.
-
@jcolp So the only thing that “saves” us is that Suunto connects with zwift (@Suunto Just do it…)
-
@Ketoohs Not really, that would be convenient but it’s already possible to upload a Zwift activity to Suunto. You sign up with https://runalyze.com/ and connect it to Suunto. In its “Automatic Sync” functionality there is the ability to upload FIT files to Suunto. You upload the Zwift activity FIT file and it will appear in Suunto as an activity. Distance, GPS, heart rate, etc etc. It’s manual work, but it does work.

Download/Export .GPX file from Strava and import on SportsTracker.

Is there any news from Suunto regarding a Zwift integration or from Zwift a Suunto integration??
This would help quite a lot if activities from Zwift would sync with the Suunto App.
I really enjoy the Suunto App and it seems like Suunto is constantly improving it. There‘s already so many integrations possible and to have a direct sync from Zwift to Suunto would be awesome, rather than a workaround via third party apps.
Please Suunto if you read this, you guys make the best looking watches on the market
, this would be a next level integration. -
I just record everything with Zwift and then send the activity from Strava to the Suunto app using RunGap (iOS).

@larrybbaker ok, thanks for your reply, seems like a good workaround.
It just would be cool to have the ability to like start a normal indoor cycle session on the watch and use a Zwift Suunto Plus App that connects to the wahoo kickr. So that the watch receives the data from it and the session is then just normally uploaded to Suunto App as an indoor cycle session. Would be a great feature. Anyway, might have to stick with Rungap for now. Thanks. -
@daveathletic the way it would work is you would do your Zwift exercise like normally (forget the watch as it’s not needed - real GPS data is not there anyway, because it’s all virtually generated and all we need is the exercise data generated by Zwift), then Zwift would have to push the data to the Suunto app via an API call. Quite easy, but I don’t know why Suunto hasn’t done it yet.
Maybe Zwift is not interested or they want too much money from Suunto for the integration … who knows.

@fejker alright, I see, yeah that would be amazing. Still hoping that they are working on an integration.
