      Joke: Suunto makes an add with him planning hikes in SA in the smartphone! With his new S9B ambassador!

      ESTABLISHING SHOT: Hilltop, golden hour. Soria stands by his bicycle, broom handle resting against the crossbar. Frame cuts off height of white column behind and off to one side.

      CLOSE UP: Soria’s left wrist rotates from framed view of SUUNTO S9B to hand holding SMARTPHONE [Brand TBA] SCREEN.

      FX: SUUNTO APP loads.

      Soria V/O [Trans into Spanish]: How do I get a [BEEP] POI onto this [BEEP] thing?

      PULL BACK TO WIDE SHOT: showing Soria, bicycle, broom handle … and REVEALING white column as base of slowly turning wind turbine.

          Sure. I’ve known octogenarians who want to hike to new places, requiring carefully planned routes for dodgy hips, knees, etc. And stubborn codgers who will go their own way via their own off-track waypoints, dammit, and stop treating them like 90-year olds.

          Also ones who have forgotten where they’ve been and get to do things again as new.

            @Fenr1r I dont treat anyone as old. But as of experience 😉 / Technique / Dependence to equipement.

            At least I hope at 81 I have stopped bothering. till 70 debatable

                That’s where the adventure of new places and the aide memoire of a GPS watch come together. If you’ve never been somewhere before (in your 80+ years), decades of technique and experience only get you so far, geolocation-wise, especially if visibility is crappy and your internal step-memory iffy.

                Plus, some folks, no matter how old, like gadgets. I’m sure you’ll have something on your wrist, on your eyeballs or hovering by your side as you run over a mountain at 81.

                    @Fenr1r One of the most amazing statements in the interview is that he says that part of the idea of their activities now is telling people that they do not need to stop doing certain things just because of your age. So, in the end, why not exploring new places where you have not ever been?

                          I can tell you, having an original iPhone SE, that throttling has zero effect on my usage.
                          I do the same I did when I bought the phone new, in the same way. If it is slower? Maybe. If I needed to change my habits or loose functions? No.
                          With this digital transition that is the case: at least for ambit 3 owners.

                            Much worse in A3P’s case. A3P is still being sold. There is no hardware limitation that’s forcing manufacturer to disable it’s features and yet they are disabling them.

                              Will the apps section of the Movescount site be kept when the “new”/chopped down version gets deployed? I’ve just began messing arround with apps (LOL)! Currently all community apps have gone, and even personal apps don’t show, only if you create one and keep the URL with the specific ID can enable you to create and edit.

                                      As always, Suunto support (this time chat) is giving strange answers. I asked them about issue with apps and got this answer:

                                      “We are closing the whole Movescount service, so yes this and all other features will disappear. There were no announcements of any kind about specifics feature but only one that we are closing the service so features will be disappearing one by one, at the beginning of the year the service will be closed. There will not be happening any transformation. Movescount services are going to be closed and we will have only Suunto mobile app.”

                                      Update:
                                      They also added:

                                      “As for the Apps feature, we were just informed that this is not a part of feature removal yet.”

                                      and:

                                      “Our Movescount team has been informed of the issue and is investigating it, we will try to fix it as soon as possible.”

                                        I have the specific ID for some of my apps and them works to edit, but not for all my apps, only for some of them.

                                        I’ll expect this would be a bug.

                                        There is a way to retrieve the app id.

                                        Go to watch settings, select a sport mode and go to change a display. Select “My apps”, here are listed all personal apps. Then right click on the app you want to retrieve the id and then select “Inspect Element”. Your browser will show you an html element like:

                                        <label for=“deviceField-Rule/XXXXXXXX”>App name</label>

                                        where XXXXXXXX seems to be the app ID and App name the name of the app.

                                        Then you can add those elements in the following URL:

                                        https://www.movescount.com/apps/appXXXXXXXX-App_name/edit

                                        and you can edit your app!

                                        If your app name has space between words, replace it with the underscore _ (for example App_name).

                                        Hurry, we don’t have much time left!

                                            Hurry, we don’t have much time left!

                                            Not much time left until it fixed

                                            And it is fixed now

                                            Thanks!
