      @André-Faria accept this. Movescount it was good, but belongs to past. I use suunto APP and QS from Dimitrios. Is enough for me.

      And yes, i will use Suunto. Like durability, design, gnss accuracy, UI, navigation, and S+ Run sprint add-on.

      What can be better? GPS+Gal combo accuracy, wrist HR, navigation with info about time to reach destination, VO2 also for cycling and more integration of S+ add-on “Safe” with APP to send allert in case of accident.

        I’m so pissed that I’m afraid I’ll throw my Ambit2 to the trash. I hate being forced to use all those apps on the phone to do everything nowadays. If you don’t wanna run website - fine - just let me download fit or gpx files from my watch and I’ll upload them somewhere else by myself.

          If that is your concern why don’t you just sync with suuntolink and on the app make it sync with another service? Then you just check the other service.

            @André-Faria As I said - I don’t wanna have a smartphone in that equation. Watch and pc is enough for me. If I knew using watch will require use of phone I wouldn’t ever bought it.

            We will be soon in a Dick’s novel where you will need an app to go to the toilet.

              @Kuba-Gornowicz you don’t need a phone to use your watch, you need a phone only to setup a workflow one time

                  @André-Faria Couldn’t see it on my visit to the site (tho’ I was invited to check out some “Suunto App” thing). Do you have a direct URL to the survey, please?

                          @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Damn. 20 minutes wasted on thoughtful contribution and elegant haikus. I KNEW I should’ve filled the boxes with links to cat videos.

                                No survey for me just a reminder for digital transition, however I just noticed that Movescount now is on HTTPS and not plain HTTP.
                                Nice move Suunto! 👏

                                  @André-Faria The term Movescount refers to two different things. It refers to an app and it refers to a website. The app is closing. The website, as far as I know, is not closing.

                                  Assuming that the website is not closing, you will still be able to create routes or record POIs and then transfer them to your watch using the cable.

                                  Ascent/descent is no longer shown on Movescount maps, which is a bit annoying, but is available in the watch when you’ve transferred the route.

                                    Yes, I know, let’s see what happens to the planner (present on movescount site) and interval creator (present on app) and of course app (this one I have no faith they will keep it, but we never know).
                                    Let’s wait.

                                      I’d add - If route has been imported from elsewhere, not for the one created in Movescount. AFAIK routes created in Movescount don’t contain elevation data and you will not have this data in your watch.

                                      As Suunto is doing very little to properly maintain routes in Movescount, they should just enable route support in Suunto app for Ambits. Even if that means you would still have to sync by cable (even Ambit3). That would be less annoying than having this broken route creator that people use just to import routes created elsewhere anyway. At least we could soon get Plotaroute to sync routes to Suunto app (I hope) so that would be a pretty good replacement.

                                      That way Suunto would have one less thing to maintain, as we see that they are struggling with basic maintenance.

                                        @Prenj the other day was just thinking the same… would be possible for Suunto to make route/POI transfer from Suunto app to Movescount so with SuuntoLink one can transfer over to the watch. Ideally would be that Suunto app could sync Movescount stuff (route/POI and settings) with the Ambit/Traverse family, just like SuuntoLink does (and Movescount app did) with no UI just background work.

                                          @andrasveres Yes, that full syncing capability is just what I have been asking for in feature request (linked below). My understanding is that they have chosen to strip this away from ambit3 to create bigger gap between a3p and Suunto 9, to differentiate. Because if you put features side by side, it could be pretty tough to defend the price difference between those two watches. So A3P is now little less connected than it used to be. They basically downgraded it almost to Ambit2.

                                          Middle ground could be letting Ambit users use Suunto app even for routes, because they are not properly maintaining this feature in Movescount web for almost a year now and I really doubt this will suddenly be changed at some point. On the other hand, Suunto app is being actively developed and is getting better. Plotaroute would be a decent replacement for route creator in Movescount, probably even better one than Movescount. So why not? Keep things simple and let people enjoy even these watches they now call “legacy watches” (that one I will never understand).

                                            @Prenj that is not correct. its not stripped to create a bigger gap.

                                            Actually if you are on iOS we can pm.

                                            I have multiple times asked in this forum (not you) to not jump into assumptions.
