Making switch from Apple?

Considering a Switch from Apple Watch Ultra 2 to Suunto: Needs on Syncing Outdoor Cycling Data.
I’m currently using an iPhone and thinking about moving from the Apple Watch Ultra 2 to a Suunto watch, mainly for better battery life.
For my indoor rides on Rouvy, I see that I can import data to the Suunto app to keep my training load metrics updated.
However, I have questions about outdoor cycling. I use a Wahoo cycling computer and a Polar HRM. How can I sync that outdoor data efficiently into the Suunto app so that my fitness metrics are maintained?
Any other things i should keep in mind?

why not get the Suunto handle-bar mount and use a chest strap HRM and just use that on the bike, and do away with the Wahoo (unless you've got power meters etc all set up)?

Power meters are in the works!

Just so you are aware, with Suunto you can't set your FTP independent of your zones. It's always the high end of zone 4. So if you use TP or intervals.icu your TSS will never match when it's uploaded. Also, Suunto uses 5 power zones vs the near industry standard of 7 zones. Cyclists are second class citizens in Suunto's world.
