The problem is that Suunto only provides software for Windows. I got tired of using virtualbox to connect to the watch (qemu doesn&#8217;t work, Suunto Activity Manager apparently does strange things with the serial port), so I reverse-engineered the protocol (using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saunalahti.fi\/sacco\/skimanager\/\">skimanager<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.terre-adelie.org\/SuuntoX6HR\">J\u00c3\u00a9rome Kieffer&#8217;s work<\/a> as a basis) and implemented a script to fetch the logs, and export them in a format suitable for gnuplot.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lucas-nussbaum.net\/suuntux\/\">Suuntux<\/a> is publicly available.  I&#8217;d be happy to hear from you if it works for you too.
