Need help connecting to the watch on macOS

shaupt

Watch has been unpaired from the phone and bluetooth has been turned off on the phone.

@shaupt On the watch
Settings > Connectivity > Paired devices > MobileApp > Forget

Unpair in Suunto app
Forget in iOS bluetooth settings
Turned of Bluetooth
Set watch discoverable
Forget suunto app on watch
Soft reset the watch

@shaupt did u do this

To enable Bluetooth pairing in macOS, you also have to set at least a partial serial number of the watch to macOS Bluetooth Serial in SuuntoPlus Editor extension settings.

@ook Thanks, have also tried both full and partial serial numbers (removing digits at the end).

I am doing this:

Phone (iPhone 13, iOS version 26.3.x)
Suunto App > Manage connection > Forget
Terminated Suunto App
Settings > Bluetooth > “Suunto Peak 9 Pro xxx” > Forget this device
Settings > Bluetooth > Off
On the watch (Suunto 9 Peak Pro)
Connectivity > Paired Devices > Mobile App > Forget
Connectivity > Discovery On (is usually off)
On the computer (MacBook Pro, M3 Max, late 2023, macOS 26.3.x)
Once:
Given VsCode access to Bluetooth. macOS have asked that should approve, I have manually enabled it.
In VsCode settings, supplied the serial number of the watch (both full and partial)
Turned Bluetooth on (the watch has been paired with the computer but this only works when using LightBlue, bluetooth is usually off)
In VsCode > Suunto Watch > Refresh, nothing is found

Hmmm, now it works.

Toggling automatic/manual connection changed something. However, if this is a permanent fix I do not yet know.

@shaupt intresting I didn’t get it to work, but I was trying on a much older MacBook Pro.
I could connect the watch with BlueLight app from Appstore in macOs as a Bluetooth device but VSCode didn’t see it no matter what I did. Will check again cause I don’t think its an Hardware Issue if the Mac can connect.
I did already switch between auto / manuell but that didn’t help. But didn’t test with the version number. I got it working on Win but thats not my dev setup for private projects.

@Ecki-D. I have tried many times and might have tried things in a different order.

In the bottom right corner of VsCode error message appear, do you get any of those?

If you run “SuuntoPlus: Open Log Files” command in VS Code, you might get some useful information from the logs

try also ble on off on the mac. I kinda remember having this issue long time ago or killing some process.

The @suuntopartnerteam maybe knows better ?
