      @ace575 I think @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos understood and acknowledged this issue: clearly a Bluetooth connection issue between newer iPhone / iOS and the Ambit3.
      @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos does Suunto have like a bug tracking platform where we can check progress on this issue ?
      And yes the fact that the watch is still on sale on the Suunto website without any disclaimer clearly bothers me a little 🙂
      With the latest Suunto app beta version : pairing works on iPhone SE 2020 and iPhone 7.
      But I could not get activities to sync on either phone. Could not export raw files from the debug menu though like you asked @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos it just fails continuously 😞

          @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos ok I will next time I have an activity to sync.
          But don’t you have watches, phones, testing procedures at Suunto ? This issue is reproducible easily 🙂

            @benoitg well honestly for us it aint. Else I would not be asking. Thats why the first person who tried this already now has his watch back to Finland (Suunto) asap.

              @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos …Hi…is there a solution in sight for a little frustrated Ambit 3 Sapphire User with IPhone XS iOS 14.01? Bluetooth doesn‘t work here! Suunto Software of course also not!

              The „funny thing“:
              My old Ipad Air 2 with iOS 12.4.1 has got no problem…Bluetooth works! But: I do not dare to change here my working MC with Suunto.app

              I tried everything like disconnect/forget Bluetooth/tried to pair again on Iphone > no reaction!

              Reaction would be kindly appreciated!

              Kalinichta and thx for any kind of help!

              Sven

                Maybe related/not related, but I came across today that Polar acknowledge that the V800 will likely fail to pair most of the time with the new iPhone generations, and as such they are not fully compatible.

                Given the V800 release is from the same year as the Ambit 3, might be a related issue? Just a thought.

                  Same problem with IPhone XS and no Sync possible anymore. With IPhone 6 before and IPad Air 2 it works. Support doesn‘t response!

                    Same here with iPhone XS. Ambit is useless.

                        Still working via Suuntolink? Can I synchronize moves to Suunto app installed on iPhone 11 via cable and Suuntolink? Everything is getting worse with Ambits…

                          Yeah, why not, if you sync with cable you can see your moves in the Suunto app on your phone.

                            @estevez suuntolink or moveslink2 will work. Issue seems to be with Bluetooth protocol with newer iPhone (like SE 2020 or 11).
                            For the moment I bring my old iPhone 7 with me when I don’t have my laptop and I need to sync activities 🤷🏻‍♂️
                            Hopefully a fix will come soon !

                              Hi All,

                              I have made a new try after long while without using the phone. It now works fine to sync my iPhone 11 with my ambit. I was able to sync my 20 works. Finally !
                              Note : I am on IOS13.6.1
                              Regards,

                                  @André-Faria I have not done anything special, just unpaired, paired and I was surprised to see it synced. I have seen lately an apps update done … So …

                                      It suddenly started working for me also (latest iOS). Without pair/unpair procedure. Nice 😁!!
