@Thibault-B. Well… I’m still waiting for Suunto to open up an account for me.
-
@Łukasz-Szmigiel I’m also waiting for your app.

It’s live, babe!
I’m now proudly waiting for all “dude, it sucks / doesn’t work” comments

I have something a little different. I built an android app which can deploy your suuntoplus apps from your phone! Basically you don’t need to worry about sync anymore. You just have your custom watch apps inside some directory on your phone and then send them over whenever you need to. No more need for for a pc / vscode
Works on my Race and I don’t see why it wouldn’t on others. Teste with fea files (remember to select the right built package for your watch). Suunto may at some point change the protocol, but probably not anytime soon. Hope this helps anyone
<removed old link>
Edit. if the app does not connect, make sure you aren’t connected to something else like VS Code for example. The app has few permissions and no internet connection btw
Edit 2. Here’s the repo if you wish to build it yourself. At the top you can see “tree”, which shows the root of the repository where you can find the pre-built binary.

@SyncBypass this is pretty cool. Care to share some details on the protocol used to push the s+ app via bt?
-
@Łukasz-Szmigiel the repo now contains some kind of an explanation. As I don’t understand anything about anything, I simply handed the captured communication to an LLM and had it vibe the app.

@SyncBypass cool, I’ll take a look in the repo. Thanks, that’s really clever work you did. It’s amazing what can be done with llms now.

@skyfi yes, i would be happy to have some collaborator, that may introduce new ideas. https://github.com/aabbeell/suuntopo
reach me out there, as i dont read this very frequently -
@guderaber your app seems pretty complex on the processing side. Did you test it on the watch alongside other S+ apps? Does it crash other apps?
-
@SyncBypass Great stuff! Your project actually got me thinking about different ways to interface with the device, and I’ve been experimenting with a web-based approach. The idea was to see if I could use the browser to access the watch directly for quick tasks without any setup.
As a small experiment, I’ve managed to get a basic filesystem viewer working to explore the internal folders: https://wfhub.net/flasher
My long-term goal is to see if it’s possible to build a simple generator for custom watch faces that could be uploaded right from the browser. It’s still very much a “work in progress” and a bit of a research project for me at the moment.
I’m curious to see where your project goes, and I’m still trying to figure out if there’s enough community interest in these kinds of DIY tools to keep pushing further. Anyway, thanks for sharing your progress!

@AYamshanov how do you interface with the Vertical 2 via USB?
