Export a session to my Suunto Watch

Before you can export your session to your watch, you first need to give the necessary permissions for your RunMotion app to connect to your Suunto account. Here's how to do it!


Which watches are compatible with SuuntoPlus™ Guides?


Suunto 3, 5, and 9, as well as Suunto watches released after 2022, are compatible. Your watch simply needs to support SuuntoPlus™ Guides. The Suunto 7, for example, is not compatible (technical decision by Suunto).


Grant permission to export to Suunto


Directly in your plan settings via the "My RunMotion" tab (2️⃣) accessible from your profile (1️⃣), go to the export configuration of your training plan (3️⃣).

Find "Suunto" (4️⃣) in the list then click on "Connect" (5️⃣).

Enter your Suunto account username and password (6️⃣) and don't forget to "Authorize" (7️⃣) RunMotion to connect to your Suunto account.


Once everything is set up, a page will confirm it. You can close this page via the cross at the top left (8️⃣) (this won’t remove the authorization).


At any time, you can:

  • 9️⃣: Disable export to Suunto via the "Disconnect" link,
  • 🔟 and 11: Check the permissions granted for session export.



Export my scheduled sessions to my watch


Once the setup between your RunMotion app and Suunto is complete, you can export your sessions to perform them with your watch.


On your RunMotion Coach app, you can export a full week or a specific session from your training plan.

  • Export a full week : go to your plan (1️⃣) and tap the Watch icon (2️⃣)!
  • Export a specific session : directly within the session you're interested in, click on the Export link.

A message will confirm once it's done!



Retrieve my session in the Suunto app


Once the export is complete, open your Suunto app and select your watch (logo at the top left of the home screen).



Tap on SuuntoPlus™ Guides — you should see your scheduled workouts with their corresponding dates. If so, all you need to do is transfer it to your watch. Make sure your watch is synced with the Suunto app via Bluetooth.


You can now select the Running mode on your watch > Options > SuuntoPlus™ Guides. If it's the day of your planned session, when you select Running mode, the watch will automatically suggest following your session.


There is sometimes a limit of 15 Suunto Guides — if your watch is full of guides, consider deleting some.


Enjoy your workout!
