Hi! I’m sorry to hear your Suunto Peak 9 Pro isn’t pairing with the Suunto app on your Mac. Let’s work through this together. Could you please tell me a bit more about what happens when you try to pair—do you see any error messages or does the pairing just fail silently?

While I wait for your details, here are some common steps that often help with pairing issues on your Suunto Peak 9 Pro and Suunto app on macOS 10.15:

1. Ensure Bluetooth Is Enabled and Discoverable:
On your watch, go to Settings > Connectivity > Discovery and make sure it’s enabled. This lets your watch be visible for Bluetooth pairing.

2. Remove Existing Pairing:
- On your watch, go to Settings > Connectivity > Paired Devices and remove the Suunto app from that list if it’s present.
- On your Mac, go to System Preferences > Bluetooth and remove the Suunto device if listed.

3. Restart Both Devices:
Power off your watch and your Mac, then turn them back on.

4. Update Suunto App and Watch Software:
- On your Mac, open the App Store and check for updates to the Suunto app, then install any available updates.
- Connect your watch to SuuntoLink on your Mac (via USB cable) to check and apply any firmware updates available for your watch.

5. Pair Through the Suunto App (Not Mac Bluetooth Settings):
Open the Suunto app and follow the in-app prompt to add or pair a new device. Sometimes pairing directly through Bluetooth in system settings does not work properly.

6. Check for Interference:
Ensure no other Bluetooth devices nearby are interfering. Disable other Bluetooth devices temporarily if needed.

If you've already tried some of these steps, just let me know which ones so I can suggest more advanced troubleshooting. Also, if you can share your Suunto app version, that will help me tailor the advice.

Are you able to try these steps now? Let me know how it goes!
