Introducing Open SuuntoPlus™ – a new way for developers, athletes, and the wider Suunto community to build their own Sports Apps for Suunto watches.
What is Open SuuntoPlus™?
Open SuuntoPlus™ is a new way for your Suunto watch to gain features created directly by the community.
SuuntoPlus™ Sports Apps are tools that run on your watch during activities, adding new features and insights that enhance your workouts, training sessions, and outdoor adventures.
With Open SuuntoPlus™, developers, athletes, and the wider Suunto community can now create these apps themselves.
New Sports Apps appear in the SuuntoPlus™ Store in the Suunto app, where you can choose free tools that support your training needs.
By opening the platform, new ideas can arrive faster than traditional firmware updates — and continue evolving over time.
What can creators build?
With Open SuuntoPlus™, creators can bring a wide range of ideas to life — from sport-specific tools to new ways of analysing and interacting with training data.
SuuntoPlus™ Sports Apps can include:
- Sport-specific tools designed for unique workouts or race conditions
- Performance features such as pacing logic, intervals, or threshold calculations
- Sensor integrations using Bluetooth Low Energy devices
- Real-time insights calculated during activities
- Creative tools for navigation, exploration, or gamified training
Whether the goal is deeper performance insight or a completely new training experience, creators can extend their Suunto watch in ways that suit their sport and style.
Examples from the community
Some early SuuntoPlus™ Sports Apps already demonstrate what the community can build. You can see several of these in the video above.
Early examples include:
- ParkRun tool – displays a QR code on your watch for ParkRun event registration.
- Rugby referee app – helps referees track match time, scores, and game flow during matches.
- Tennis Pro – allows players to track points during a tennis match.
- Hex Hunter – a gamified app that rewards athletes for exploring new areas.
- Beer Mile – a playful app designed around the well-known running challenge.
What this means for athletes
Open SuuntoPlus™ brings more flexibility and faster innovation to your Suunto watch.
For athletes, it means:
- More sport-specific tools created by the community
- New features arriving faster than traditional firmware updates
- More ways to personalise your watch for your training style
- Ideas coming directly from athletes and developers
How it works
Open SuuntoPlus™ makes it possible for new ideas to move from concept to wrist quickly.
Creators build SuuntoPlus™ Sports Apps using the SuuntoPlus™ Editor, where apps can be developed, tested, and refined.
Once ready, apps can be submitted through the Suunto Partner Program and reviewed by Suunto before appearing in the SuuntoPlus™ Store.
From there, athletes can discover and download these apps directly in the Suunto app — and creators can continue improving them with updates over time.
