Concurrent Bluetooth connection for Live Tracking and the Suunto App

Currently, the Suunto App is disconnected from the watch while Live Tracking is active. As a result, you don't receive any notifications on the watch, and it's impossible to send a planned route from the Suunto App to the watch without stopping and then resuming the Live Tracking session.

Would it be possible to send system messages via LiveTracking app to the watch? So that there is no second connection needed? It‘s a no go for me, when I get no messages on incoming calls and so.

Technically, it’s possible, but there are many limitations to displaying incoming calls or messages on the watch. Unfortunately, we aren't able to show something like a pop-up via the Suunto SDK while on a screen other than the live tracking screen. I’m just not sure if this would be a real solution to the problem, Furthermore, implementing this feature would increase the app's size, and we are already working within strict limits for s+ apps.

Es posible que la única solución sea integrar el sistema en la propia app Suunto.

Blocked due to platform technical limitations. This remains a known major pain point. We are keeping this issue open in the backlog with top priority and will monitor for any workarounds or SDK updates that allow concurrent connectivity.
