@brad_olwin 5 Suunto watches? Do tell if any have a number higher than S9…?

Well, we know he has at least a suunto 5, a suunto 7 and suunto s9b…

@bulkan
should I prepare a hammer to slaughter my piggy bank?!

[isazi]

@egika I don’t have another phone to test.

[ldxmsg]

@bulkan That leaves two more watches…the mind boggles.

[freeheeler]

@ldxmsg
S11 and S11B?
…or is this too obvious?

@ldxmsg One more: “I have 2 S9 baro watches.” And that might not be the only dupe. Or … there’s boggle-room, as you say.

It would be okay if the Suunto phone app would be able to handle two different Suunto watches at the same time.

I have a SSU and a S7 and the app can only be connected to one of the watches.

If I want to sync the SSU I have to pair it every time again with the shown Bluetooth code on the SSU.

That’s not the best way.

I have two Casio G-SHOCK too. No problem for the Casio app to sync both connected watches and have the same profile settings on both the watches and the data of both watches in the app.

Come on, Suunto!

@brad_olwin I refuse to believe it. In my head watches 4 and 5 are much more shiny and exciting and new…

[Brad_Olwin]

@pilleus Agreed, but this is an OS issue, on iOS no code necessary just forget/select watches.

OS issue

No, it’s the Suunto Android app. With other apps I can connect again every Bluetooth device in Android after a first initial pairing.

[ldxmsg]

@brad_olwin On Garmin Connect on iOS you can have two watches synced at the same time and it seamlessly merges data both to the app, but also back to the watches again. In other words, this is purely a Suunto issue.

[isazi]

@ldxmsg there are in fact requests in the forum both for (seamless) multiple devices support and two-way sync between app and watches.

[ldxmsg]

@isazi Yes indeed, I’ve added to them both I think!

[isazi]

@ldxmsg unfortunately (?), only Suunto knows how much of a priority this is for them. I have no idea which fraction of the Suunto user-base have two or more devices.

[ldxmsg]

@isazi Very true.

[Egika]

Thank you for linking my question to a feature request.

So obviously nobody knows how two watches and two phones will merge in the account?
