What is Open SuuntoPlus?

Open SuuntoPlus is Suunto’s developer platform, opened to the public in March 2026, that lets anyone build apps for compatible Suunto watches using JavaScript and HTML. Approved apps are published in the Made by Suunto Community section of the SuuntoPlus Store and run on the watch during activities.

How many Open SuuntoPlus apps are there?

More than 40 community-built apps were available three months after launch, across running, trail, cycling, water sports, indoor training and games. New apps appear approximately weekly.

Which Suunto watches support SuuntoPlus community apps?

The apps run on current Suunto watches, including the Race 2, Vertical 2, Race, Race S and Ocean. Individual apps may specify particular model support, and some are optimised for a specific watch such as the Race.

How do I install a SuuntoPlus app?

Open the Suunto app, go to the SuuntoPlus Store, select an app, tap install on the watch, then sync the watch. App settings, where present, are adjusted in the SuuntoPlus tab of the Suunto app once the app is on the watch.

Is Open SuuntoPlus better than Garmin Connect IQ?

Garmin Connect IQ is far larger and broader in scope, with high-quality apps alongside some flakier ones. Open SuuntoPlus is smaller but appears easier to develop for, which may result in higher average quality across a more curated catalogue. Garmin retains the advantage in scale and range.
