Coachbox and Suunto: activities and daily metrics, automatically

Completed activities and daily metrics sync across on their own. Planned workouts cannot be sent to a Suunto watch.

What comes into Coachbox

  • Completed activities
  • Daily metrics
  • Sleep
  • Resting heart rate
  • Steps

What this connection cannot do

  • Planned workouts cannot be sent to a Suunto watch. The connection reads from Suunto, it does not write back.

Suunto brings both halves of the incoming data into Coachbox: the workouts your athlete records, and the numbers their watch collects the rest of the day. Once the account is connected, neither of you touches it again.

What arrives

Finished activities land in the calendar with all their data behind them, so pace, heart rate, power and GPS are all there when you analyse the session.

Daily metrics come across as well. If Suunto is the watch your athlete actually wears around the clock, set it as the metrics source and steps, resting heart rate and sleep follow from there. That choice is separate from where your activities come from: your workouts still arrive from whatever device recorded them.

What does not

Suunto is read-only in this connection. There is no route from Coachbox to a Suunto watch for a structured session, so your athlete opens the session in the Coachbox app and follows the blocks there.

If automatic delivery to the device is a requirement for that athlete, Garmin, Coros and Wahoo all take a structured workout.

  1. 1Your athlete opens Settings and goes to the Synchronisation tab.
  2. 2They find Suunto under the non-active connections and click Connect.

Questions about integrations

Does Suunto deliver daily metrics?

Yes. Suunto can be the source for steps, resting heart rate and sleep. Pick it under Settings, Synchronisation, Metrics if it is the device your athlete wears all day.

Can I push a planned workout to a Suunto?

No. The connection is one-way. Your athlete follows the session in the Coachbox app while the watch records.

How quickly does an activity show up?

As soon as Suunto has synced it from the watch. That is usually a couple of minutes after your athlete finishes.
