When Ambit 3 Peak will transition to Suunto APP?
-
I just got my Ambit 3 Peak and just wanted to say that after I connected my watch to Suunto android mobile app, which was really intuitive and fast, my workouts appear automatically on Suunto app in a few seconds. Really happy with that
. Also battery seems to be really good too, at least from what I could tell in my initial impressions.
Now, since I havenāt been a Suunto user before, and I have regularly shared my workouts with Sports Tracker, my old workouts are on Suunto automatically.They, however are not shared with Movescount. That may present some kind of obstacle with you guys that were old Movescount users, but I doubt there will be any major issues with it since Suunto obviously automatically migrates accounts from MC to Suunto/SportsTracker.
So far, Iāve been satsified and even pleasantly surprised with Suunto, hope they keep up the good work.

And what about your new workouts, synced with SuuntoApp, if you look at them in Sporttracker site ?
-
Yeah, forgot to mention, if you are Android user and want for some reason to migrate your workouts from one to another place then Syncmy Tracks app is one of the solutions for you.
It works well with many, many platforms including SuuntoMovesCount, Garmin, Adidas, SportsTracker etc. etc.
Check it out guys and gals you wont regret it.
Hope I donāt break any rules by mentioning that certain app, Iām in no way affiliated with that app (other than being a happy customer).

Yep! They are apparently automatically included on SportsTracker app too. I just checked few seconds ago.

@dkoor

@dkoor
donāt look at the ascent valuesā¦too quick answer for me
-
@Mff73
sorryā¦ should have waited a bitā¦ spoileralarm! -
@TELE-HO Hmmm you mean that not all workout features are shared?
Havenāt got opportunity to test it all just yetā¦ -
@dkoor
yes, you can also say ānot allāā¦ to me it appears as only few are synced or displayed -
@TELE-HO and @dkoor
i think there is strange things here
Normally, all moves in SA, must be in Sporttracker, if not, it is a bug for sure.What is not good, and the meaning of my too short remark, it is that sporttracker, for now, doesnāt show any ascent/descent for workouts from SA. @dkoor , it is something you will miss in this transition currently.
-
@TELE-HO Thanks for the headsup! Will ofc chek it out all as the time passes and I make more activities.
I understand that there may be issues, and since Iāve been long time user of many similar pages, Iām kinda used to itā¦ And always managed to solve such problems, if it doesnāt work like it is supposed to I look at 3rd party or even manual edit until things improve. -

Thanks mate, I got what you meant to say. I just hope it wont make much of an obstacle to people until it gets fixed.

@dkoor
I donāt want to be mean, but ST would require tonns of fixes as I see it until it becomes useful.
As it has nothing to do officially with SA, I would rather have it separated on the public side (accesswise etc). -
Yeah, I get what you are saying even if I donāt know about the details yet.
I wrote quite a long post about your observations and figured that many of my writings are assumptions, and I deleted it all. Gotta wait and thoroughly try the stuff out, then Iāll see.
Apart from my past experiences with many other platforms I couldnāt really further add something useful to the discussion. -
-
@dkoor It seems you are satisfied with a significantly reduced set of features that Ambit3 Peak offers with Suunto App. I guess you are fine with pre-configured sport modes and donāt need to change configuration of fields, donāt use navigation routes or points of interest, donāt use apps, workout planning, or structured workouts, and donāt ever need to use extended battery modes. Otherwise you would have noticed that Suunto App doesnāt support any of that with Ambit3 Peak.

@silentvoyager
if he did not know yet it will be somehow a jump into ice-cold waterā¦ I hate that moments when you purchased something nice and you learn very soon that it is not lasting long or does not meet your expectationsā¦
but how should a future customer know, e. g. ambit3 vertical is still announced in Suunto webshop to have MC backsupport and ambit apps etcā¦
https://www.suunto.com/Products/sports-watches/Suunto-Ambit3-Vertical/suunto-ambit3-vertical-lime-le/
Suunto does not highlight news about the service transition when you go to the startpage.
I see this critical for people that are new to Suunto and donāt know what they get.
It might well be that somebody is aware and is happy with the purchase. Some people donāt even care about analysis etcā¦
It is a bit unfair to advertise an ambit and mention the MC app but everyone involved knows the functionality will not be the same in 6 months from nowā¦
I could give a shit, Iāve got an S9B that I like and enjoyā¦ but I feel very sorry for all ambit3-ers that are now left out in the rainā¦ -
I just hopped in to say that in spite of me using the sport watch for years, I have never been Suunto user before nor have any experience with Movescount appā¦ therefore I really need some time to familiarize myself with the situation.
So far Iāve realized that Ambit 3 functionality in the current MC app which apparently will be deleted from Android store at 18.12.2019. is much higher that the funcionality present in the Suunto app.Suunto app is apparently successor of Movescount and if the current situation persists, it will be really a huge blow to Ambiot owners, that much I see. With Suunto app you can only really synchronize your acivities, while with MC app you can also manipulate many things on Ambit watch, watch faces, what metrics will be shown et. Many things.
Worth to mention that I couldnāt find how to do PoIās or import Routes at all.
I canāt really believe that Suunto plan to left us high and dry in the future.Also wanted to say that I really like the watch, no nonsense approach - practically with things that are only needed to track your activity. Iām kinda old school, I donāt use earphones etc. while Iām doing my activities, but sure, I like to analyze activities afterwards in many cases.

@dkoor
youāll be able to adjust sport modes thru cable with the evolving āsuccessorā of MC. And you will be able to sync and check your activities to SA.
You kind of need 2 services to make your watch work. Itās not top preferred in my opinion, but it works.
My wife will do the same with her A3R. She does not see a reason yet to upgrade to a newer watch. -
@dkoor, welcome to the dark side, we have cookies! Also POIs and structured workouts :]
Just make sure you get that MC app and store it somewhere safe before theyāll pull it.
