      @janfi you are welcome to be unhappy regarding the changes coming but please keep the rhetoric and language civil. Suunto employees do read this forum and they are people. This is not a vendetta by Suunto directed toward you!

        It’s directed toward all of us? 😁

          Ok. Movescount site doesn’t work anymore. Big horror.
          To view moves with the mobile phone is ridiculous in comparison to view them in my big PC screen.

          And what about the data of the apps created by the users in Movescount side?? Is it not possible to download data apps??

          I have a cadence detector for my bike and the new Sunto app only gives cadence average. Is it not possible to see a graph of cadence vs time???

          I have the sensation that my Ambit3 is useless now.

            Have you tried to make sa sync for another 3rd party?

              @andré-faria Yes thanks. Normally I use Strava and Training Peaks and it is no bad.
              The problem is with the graphics for app data. These are not possible to graph.
              The only possibility would be to download the app data and graph them with any kind of data treatment package.

                For my usage, this is one of the biggest drawback with this transition to SA : lost of suunto custom apps data.
                Does anybody know if there is any plan to support those app data (in the graph of the move) in the near future?

                  @sebchastang I completely agree with you. And if there is not any plan to support those app data at least, they could give the possibility to download the app data and so we could use an external program to represent the data.

                  Perhaps they have not enough software to do the calculations (I suppose the calculated files for apps are stocked at their site), perhaps they want to sell other products, perhaps…

                  I imagine that users will never know the truth because they aren’t never going tell us.

                    .

                    Suunto App has been seriously improved during the past months but it really lacks support of Suunto Apps data.
                    Some people around this forum kindly suggest me to use other tools like “openambit” or “golden cheetah” but it seems a bit complicated.
                    We need a single place to handle our moves and associated data.

                    I was a bit frustrated to lose route creation functionality in movescount web (due to loss of ascent and descent info) but there are other tools / websites to do it and we can also manage by using import / export GPX functionnality in SA, movescount and others sites.

                    But we have no alternative for Suunto Apps data. Those data seems not to be synced with SuuntoLink or SA 😕 .
                    I don’t understand why it is so complicated to include those apps data in the graph of the move in SA. Each custom apps has a result and it is recorded just like other data (speed, distance, …)
                    It should have been taken into account from the beginning. We can consider a new app for managing data but not for losing data!

                        Yes thanks. I’ve found it. The problem is that all in the mobile phone screen all things are small and difficult to find.
                        It is ridiculous to change for a display in a big PC screen of 21 inches or more to a small screen of 7 inches at maximum.

                          @francescobaldi It is simply a business decision. And it is a watch, not someone’s life or health. I just think there should be some perspective on this.

                            @brad_olwin Of course, the question is if they are going to loose or to gain with this decision in a long term.

                            My Ambit3 still works and possibly I will continue using it. But when it breaks I will change for brand. In fact, I have bought a Garmin for my son some months ago.

                              @ramón-castañer-botella The decision is made, and not all think it was a bad decision. I’ve stated many times how the S9 baro is a huge step up for me from the Ambit line.

                                absolutely agree… of course things could be better and depending on someone’s background (mine: development) you always would find something to improve, honestly everywhere.
                                details on the bikes, ski bindings, watches, software, even kitchen machines or details on ski jackets and pants… I even modify them 🙈

                                but it is as you said, it’s not about life or death… hence I try (!) to follow the rule: change what you can change and learn to accept what you can’t change 🙂

                                        Strange.
                                        I even had moveslink2 and suunto link at the same time without issues.
                                        Maybe related to cable no?
                                        If you want/can you can always upgrade to win10 for free still.

                                          @caldirun It’s worth mentioning that Windows 7 has not been supported by Microsoft for more than 1 year. It was released 12 years ago - an eternity, in the IT world. It’s not receiving security patches, no modern application will be developed with specific attention to Windows 7 compatibility - and I would argue that any computer running it should probably not be connected to the internet.

                                            Where would that leave XP? there are millions of pcs still running old systems. I have many legacy programs that still work fine and do all I require of them, I have a Run Log on Lotus Approach that has 24 years of data in it, do you suggest throwing it away and starting again. Microsoft just use it as a scare tactic to frighten people like you, I have never had security problems, its pure bull.
