@Cthulhu
I saw that you’ve commented on a topic that is related to A3P sync to SA on an Iphone.
Could you please specify the details of the issues you observe together with what you have tried so far and what SW versions you are running for SA and phone OS?
I’m on android and hence not of much help here… but what I know is that Suunto is still developing and improving SA and especially the integration of A3P.
As long as there are still issues it will always help Suunto to send feedback and for sure it is not the final state as long as it is still buggish -
@TELE-HO
The application freezes during GPS optimization, failing in the attempt. Also, my tasks are no longer synchronized from the Ambit3 to the Suunto application (initially only tasks longer than one hour were not synchronized). Very often the device disconnects from the iPhone for no apparent reason.
Suunto support has offered a number of solutions:- GPS reset (in the main menu)
- Disconnection of Ambit 3 from iPhone and subsequent new connection
- Forced firmware update (with loss of all data on the watch).
Previously I had an iPhone 6, now I have an iPhone 11 Pro (IOS 13.3.1), always the same problems. The Suunto application is 1.14.1 (7857).
I wish you better luck! -
@Cthulhu Maybe to try with latest beta SA for iOS…
-
If you search the Internet for bluetooth problems with the latest iPhones and latest iOS, you really find A LOT of devices which are having problems with syncing. Not that I defend Suunto here, but they are not alone with this.

@nseslija
Now I have version 1.15.1 (7929) of Suunto App. Same problems. No sync! -
This entire thread makes me quite concerned about my own A3P. I have many many suunto watches (I am a tester) and my A3P is one of the faves and still what I consider my most reliable for GPS accuracy on tough trails. I also am an iphone user, and have an older model (iphone 6S), and still have the old movescount app installed. The last time I used the A3P, which was last October after my 50K race; it worked fine syncing the A3P to MC ios. But now I am planning to upgrade my phone, either to the upcoming iphone 9 or perhaps some version of Pixel.
It sounds like I will need to keep my old 6S around just to be able to sync data from the A3P, unless I want to use the USB cable every time.
I also wonder if this same problem plagues newer android phones with the newest Suunto app, does anyone know?
-
@patterbt according to the forum, Android is seeing much less problems that iOS.
-
@patterbt your ambit 3 will be able to sync via cable as well.

@Maryn said in Syncing problems Ambit3 with iPhone11:
@entropia437 try kill other sync apps.
On ios 13 (iphone XR) I need to stop working polar flow in the background then it is starting to sync with Ambit 3 P.Thanks but I dont have any sync app working!
-
Pity to hear so many people having the same issue without proper responses from Suunto. Maybe need to change brands.
-
@JMOppenheim in Suunto defence, I think the problem is more related to iOS 13. Can’t remember having issues with bluetooth sync prior to iOS 13.
-
@andrasveres my A3P sync works with SA as well as with MC app. Ios 13, iphone Xr
-
@Maryn mine too, but sometimes my settings will sync only after a couple of tries in Movescount App (I’m not using the Suunto App yet).

Hi Guys,
I have found a way to sync my ambit 3 with the Suunto App with IOS 13.
I have installed it on my Ipad then sync the watch with the Ipad and then you have your move on your Iphone 11.
The App on the Ipad is hughly but it works
Just hope the fix for Iphone will be available soon -
@pcarval I wouldn’t expect a quick fix
-
@pcarval I just unpaired with my iPhone 11 iOS 13 and repaired with my iPad iOS 12.4.5 and it synced quickly and totally with my Ambit3V. Solution found.
-
@mbray So apparently iOS 13 is part of the reason of the rusty sync. Unfortunately all my iOS devices are version 13.x now. Like others have reported syncing the A3P with SA is much slower than the more recent models, when it can be successfully paired.
Another observation, unpairing/pairing between different watches for Spartan/S9/S5 is just like a click, but for the A3P I typically had to try many times (unpair from watch, forget device in the phone, blue tooth off and on, and with luck it will pair successfully again), so I ended up leaving a dedicated iPhone 6S (iOS 13.3) to permanently pairing with it. So far it works, including the AGPS/SGEE updates, depite the slow activity sync speed. -
@vr2udt @mbray @JohanT I have an iPhone X with iOS 13 and no issues syncing A3P. Sync speed appears similar to my S9. Not sure it is simply iOS 13. Make sure you are using the latest SA beta. Perhaps iPhone 11 related but I would doubt that.

@Brad_Olwin thanks and will try the latest SA
-
I own an iPhone 11 and an iPad Air 2. Both on the latest iOS. My Ambit 3 has a lot less (or none) problems syncing with the iPad. Syncing moves over one hour long with the iPhone is almost impossible (shorter moves kind of sync after a couple of tries). There has to be a problem with the iPhone 11 hardware, drivers or a phone specific iOS feature in combination with the SA.
