      Its almost as if Suunto see Suunto App as a gateway app to a premium Strava subscription… I wonder whether there are any Suunto to Strava agreements, sort of a friends with benefits thing between Suunto and Strava…

      Would explain why they want to shut down Movescount and seem to be limiting functionality with Suunto App…

        @mbga9pgf a good thing there are alternatives to this mess … phasing out Suunto seems like a good idea at the moment.

          Glass half full:
          Well, as long as SA accepts data from my Suunto9 via BT and can be linked via API to other services to sync with them, without any further hustle…at least it’s catalysing and promoting some nice work in open source and free market^^
          (as i recently discovered)

          The other half:
          The MC marketing thing is a problem though.
          Isn’t this almost intentionally false marketing? (EDIT: for his case)

            I don’t think so, because what I’ve seen is that MC is never mentioned on S-line products.

              @TELE-HO S lines have no reference to movescount.

              I am not sure @Golem what MC will become for Ambits but its going to evolve for them and there will be a roadmap

                @TELE-HO for the record the S9 was initially not enabled for MC , we later on enabled it

                    There does seem to be a lag when it comes to keeping website marketing language up to date. Movescount.com’s home page still says, “Suunto Movescount is a growing sports community . . .” front and center nearly a year after its phasing out was announced.

                      @ianshowalter The statement may be technically correct. MC-capable devices are still being sold and many folk like a big screen. The cliff edge may be crowded.

                        And then someone will yell: “THIS IS SPARTAAAA!”

                                  No real Spartan ever wore trousers 😋 like some Scots
