Use app without watch/device?

[jase2983]

Can I use the Suunto mobile app wthout a watch?

Doesn’t seem so, or not very intuitive. I don’t own a watch [yet], but checking out to see if I like the software. The app seems very basic just to provide a route library to send to a watch.

Then it got me thinking… what if I didn’t wear/bring my watch with me? And I want to explore a new hiking area. The app would be useless, as it wouldn’t provide navigation like some other mobile navigation apps.

I would like to simplify my life by having one navigation and planning app!

The app can be used without a watch, you can record activity using the HR belt, checking offline maps, but it’s not a navigation app (strictly speaking).
it’s an activity tracker, a companion app and it does its job.
You’re probably looking for something different.

@jase2983 You can, just hit the " + " sign at top top of the screen and you can start a new activity with GPS, HR from belt and navigation based on your saved routes. All in one App without the watch

@jase2983 I also tried the app before buying Suunto. You can also export activities to the app. I used Runalyze for that and you can see some metrics.
