Need help connecting to the watch on macOS

shaupt

Hi

Having made my first app, I would like to deploy it but VsCode/SuuntoPlus extension cannot see the watch.

I have tried both USB (computer cannot see the watch) and Bluetooth (computer cannot see the watch but with LightBlue I can connect the watch to the computer).

What are the steps needed to connect?

Computer is MacBookPro 14" M3 Max, OS is 26.3.1 (a), newest VsCode, newest SuuntoPlus extension.

VsCode has been access to BlueTooth but macOS.

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

@Squirrel Thanks.

I have done all this:

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
