Connect your Suunto watch

What it reads, what it writes back as a SuuntoPlus Guide, how to undo it.

Milewise is compatible with Suunto. This page is the whole of it: what connecting does, what Milewise reads, what it writes back, and how to undo it.

Connecting, in four steps

1. 01

   Sign in to Milewise at app.milewise.de.

2. 02

   Open You, then Settings, then Connected apps.

3. 03

   Press Add connection and choose Suunto. You are taken to Suunto’s own sign-in page, where you approve the connection. Milewise never sees your Suunto password.

4. 04

   You land back in Milewise. Your recent workouts appear within minutes, and new ones as soon as your watch syncs with the Suunto app. Sleep and recovery come with them, recent nights before you connected included.

Nothing else is required. There is no code to copy and no file to export.

What Milewise reads

• Your completed workouts: sport, start time, duration, distance, ascent, heart rate and energy, plus the detail behind each one (your route, laps, power and cadence) from the workout’s own file.
• Sleep and recovery recorded by your watch overnight. This is what the morning readiness call is made from, so if you do not wear the watch at night Milewise says it cannot tell rather than guessing.

Milewise does not read your daily step count.

What Milewise writes back

One thing: your planned sessions, as SuuntoPlus Guides. With a subscription, when your coach writes a training plan, the sessions of the next ten days are compiled into guides on your Suunto account, with their steps and targets intact. A session built on distances rather than times is not sent. Send workouts to your watch on the Suunto row stops it.

Getting a guide onto the watch is your step, not ours. Milewise puts the guide in your Suunto app; you pin it and sync. That is why the coach will never tell you a workout is on your watch. It can only tell you the guide is waiting.

Milewise never uploads activities to Suunto, never changes a workout you recorded, and never writes routes.

Turning it off

Disconnect on the Suunto row under Connected apps. Milewise revokes its own access at Suunto first, removes any guides it had put on your account, and asks whether to delete the workouts and recovery data from Suunto as well. Deleting your Milewise account does the same thing.

If something looks wrong

• No workouts after connecting. Sync the watch with the Suunto app; if nothing arrives within a quarter of an hour, write to us.
• No sleep or recovery. Those come only for nights you wore the watch.
• A guide is not on the watch. Open the Suunto app, check the guide is pinned, then sync the watch.

What happens to the data itself is set out in the privacy policy: what the coach reads and writes and what we process.
