SUUNTO VERTICAL does not sync with Iphone 17
-
I switched from Iphone 1 Pro Max to Iphone 17 Pro Max and my Suunto veritcal does not want to stay connected to the app or to sync. I did everything, inluding a hard reset of the watch but nothing works. I can use it without problems with Iphone 16 Pro Max but not with the 17. I saw similar reports from other people on a facebook group. It is simply impossible to use the watch.

Got the same problem but no solution

@Florentin, this issue is related to Apple’s recent WiFi/BT chip. Many users are reporting connectivity problems with CarPlay, headphones, and other devices. The problem is expected to be fixed in iOS 26.1. For now, I have to turn off background sync in SuuntoApp, as constant unsuccessful syncing was draining both the watch and the phone.

@Florentin My Race pairs and syncs fine, my Ocean disconnects all the time. Both worked fine on the 15 iPhone. There is some weird combination between devices that does this. There are another reports of iPhones 17 on the net complaining about BT/WiFi issues.

@Florentin Same problem. iPhone 17 Pro Max Sync no possible. Yesterday Update to iOS 26.1 PB, but the same issue. On my iPad M4 with iOS 26.0 Sync works perfectly.

@Belial Same issue with iOS 26.1 Public Beta.

@ingoblum that doesn’t look good
What’s interesting, turning off the WiFi on the watch improved syncing. Activity is uploaded almost instantly but background sync-related battery draining persists. -
The issue is being investigated
-
@Florentin 26.0.1 released, so far so good. Sync is continuous and complete.
