      The interface - both in watch and the app. This is, in fact, main thing that got me to buy Suunto 5 as I was comparing it to Garmin and Polar watches that have route navigation and wasn’t satisfied with what I’ve seen. Being a graphic designer I’m also happy to see that so many users in this thread are also pointing out that the interface is great.

      Route planning experience - this works really well and I believe that having this feature in mobile app and not online is a big plus. Yes - I haven’t had a chance to experience Movescount so I can’t compare it but being able to create a route while being on holiday somewhere foreign and unprepared (ie. having done no scouting before the trip) is great as I don’t have to carry a laptop with me. The route creation experience, heatmaps and instant synchronization are a big deal and I really love it. I’m missing POIs though. I have a friend who owns Fenix and route planning compared to Suunto is bonkers (upload gpx file to watch via cable).

      Instant synchronization - I had TomTom before and synchronizing workouts was a bit of a ritual, especially in more modern Android versions (8+). The screen couldn’t go to sleep and in certain stubborn occasions I had to clean the cache to let it continue. Also, the sync took minutes to complete. With Suunto it’s instant. So you’ve just run a marathon? Ok, here’s it synced in no time - to Suunto App, Strava, Endomondo and Relieve.

      Watch customization - While I believe it’s better to have it done via mobile app instead of watch itself, the user experience might be better: I’d like to see a “demo” being played constantly in the app while creating a sports profile (watch face). Also, lists are fine if there aren’t too many elements in them to choose from. Currently the list is absurdly long and there are no shortcuts to certain categories or icons for quick navigation. Nevertheless, it’s still easier and faster to create watch faces in the app than in the watch itself (also, compared to Fenix, for example).

        Watch customization is much better on Movescount web, even when running in mobile browser. Too bad Suunto didn’t reuse some of the old design ideas such as categorization of fields, which makes field selection very quick.

          @silentvoyager that’s why I believe that the interface and the user experience in regards to workout watchface configuration could be improved. However, it’s still far better and faster in my opinion than having to click bulky buttons on the watch itself in order to configure the screens.

            I really disliked the popup window with the different pages… it was tidy but still not so easy to setup…
            I like the number field and the scroll down menus…
            even better would be selecting favourite values and the drag and drop…
            hmm… I’m placing suggestions offtopic again 🙄

              Lets stick to the subject people. Consider this as a survey.

                what about creating bundles of features in SA that we can rate? or is this not part of your idea?

                  @TELE-HO this one is not exactly my idea.

                  I got asked to report what people like about the app.

                  I could have gone on and collected any single post , but rather I preferred to activily ask you guys.

                    when I read all comments, I get to think that @Brad_Olwin wrote quite a simple and good summary of what the majority loves about SA 👍

                      That is maybe true if you count just the forum users. I think this forum represents maybe 5% of SA users. 🙄

                                Map view with dynamic point on the track linked with altitude/speed/HR. Great !

                                  It’s improved greatly in the past 10 months. Features have been added to improve data analysis. Don’t really have any problems with what is in the app and nothing should be removed. I have problems with what is not in the app.

                                    @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos how about in-app survey so that more people can express their opinion?

                                      we’ve had that some time ago… for general questions but also for things that were about to be implemented…
                                      I think suunto is busy with that stuff right now…

                                      the issue I see is: we request things, they start working on them, before they release these things we’ve requested, we request much more…

                                        @TELE-HO strange how that works, right? ☺ But this is how it is if you put an unfinished product on the market. If it at least had MC features I don’t think that many would be complaining/requesting.

                                          The Suunto app is fine, but nothing to write home about.

                                          However the Suunto app ecosystem is severely lacking and currently just resembles a crippled version of the MC + MC web package. Please, Suunto, let’s finish the product first, then polish.

                                            yes it’s true!
                                            I mean I have made the same “mistake” in our company when we made a new setup for the 3D CAD… we started configuring from scratch instead of removing things we don’t need anymore and then adding new things… next time I know this as I have learned my lesson. (it was the first time for me…)
