Suunto AI Coach discussion
-
@isazi I don’t want to come across as nerdy or condescending, but wouldn’t the feedback from the existing users be generally more useful, compared to the people who are new to the platform?
-
@oleksandr well, there will be people buying a Race 3S that are already Suunto users, and there are also other ways this is being tested. I have used if for few months, and so have others.
-
@isazi is there any way to get the access sooner? I like the 3s, but can’t imagine switching to it from Race 2. That’s the most comfortable watch with the large screen I ever owned, and the watches with the smaller screens now look tiny in comparison

On the discussion topic: I’m really curious how this AI feature will work out for Suunto. I’m a software engineer, and I know for sure that building this kind of AI agents takes a lot of time and resources. Unless it offers something mind-blowing, people won’t pay for it. They already pay for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and so on, which also help them with their daily life and work. A free MCP with read and write access would definitely have been the right move for Suunto, especially since Coros already has one and other third parties allow this too. Someone could argue that using it would be much easier than setting up an MCP. But non-technical people are getting better at using AI tools, and AI companies are really pushing for this.

I agree that the write capability would be the important new feature. Personally I use a combination of Claude and intervals.icu for analysis and training suggestions. I honestly do not see what Suunto could add in the form of analysis functionality that would compel me to pay for another service.But I think that updates to the Suunto OS would be needed to support uploading structured workouts. Currently structured workouts are packaged in Suunto Guides that contain the structure, and the guides do nto have configurable data screens.

After i activated my R3s and play a little bit with Suunto AI I’m pairing my Run 2 and my V2 and Suunto AI work again.

@Mi_chael AI coach is not supposed to be linked to watches ; but activation for now is linked to SRs3 purchase.
-
Yes it is but Suunto Ai don’t care about the watch you use.

Not necessarily. They could let AI create a Suunto Guide, like other third party services can do now. But I agree about structured workouts, a native structured workouts feature would be a very welcome feature!

@danutz that already works in the Suunto AI, you can create guides based on your request to the bot
