Suunto compatibility
The OpenSwim app is now compatible with Suunto smartwatches ! As for Garmin smartwatches, on some Suunto watches you can read a workout on your watch.
Please note that at Suunto, this feature is available only for certain watch models. Indeed, only the ones with the SuuntoPlus feature have it. So be sure to check whether your watch has SuuntoPlus or not! Also, at Suunto, workouts are not called workouts but guides.
At OpenSwim, we cannot guarantee that your watch is compatible and supports this feature. Please visit the Suunto website to find out more about SuuntoPlus.
