So, what are you going to do after Movescount closes?

don’t need watch from company that thinks that it’s entitled to, when they choose to do so, disable some functions of my watch

exactly, couldn’t say it better!

@chrish s9b titanium is 14% discounted in germany if I recall correctly, is customizable too.

chrish

@дима-мельниченко thanks! i’ll check it out. the s9b entire line was recently on sale here in the US for 30%-ish off and I was ready to ‘stack’ my loyalty 30% and buy when these S9 Peak rumors started. while a discount is good, if I’m going to get more functionality even at full price, I decided to wait and see what happens.

What to do now that Movescount has closed? I haven’t figured yet.

Owner of the Ambit 3 Peak since 2016, I don’t have a smartphone. Even if, would I look at tracks (maybe high mountain paths) on a smartphone screen? with no keyboard and mouse?
For the moment I upload the .sml files to Runalyze which, although reads all RR intervals correctly, appears to do differently from Movecount in smoothing/fitering/averaging data series.

Add to that, a few days ago I mistakenly deleted my watch from “My watches” in my Movescount account so now I’m not able to connect it back any more and so no more customizations.

So long for now,

@jgeronimo if I’m not mistaking, you don’t need a smartphone all the time as an ambit user. You just need to create an account in SA and connect to 3d party of your choice like runalize or training peaks. That’s it, your workouts will automatically sync and you can use desktop versions as much as you want. Sure you won’t get all of original functions, but it’s still something, right?

I think @JGeronimo is a bit annoyed that he can’t setup his watch anymore… but I would expect that there should be a way to reconnect the watch to someone’s profile… I’m not the right guy to help here as I gave my A3PS away and can not test, sorry.
But it is as you say, the situation for Ambit users is not extremely comfy, but it is way better than I’ve expected at first

@jgeronimo Try to reconnect your watch using the SuuntoLink. AFAIK, that is the way. I do not know, however, if you can link it to an existing account (I would say yes, but only guessing). As others pointed out, you will surely miss Movescount (I do), but you can do a lot using runalyze or the excellent QS from @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

Good luck and keep enjoying such an excellent watch.

@jgeronimo as @Efejota said, you should be able to reconnect your watch to your Movescount account with SuuntoLink. However you will need a Suunto app account which cannot be registered using SuuntoLink (just with the mobile app), see more details here. If you don’t already have a Suunto app account, you could ask a friend with a smartphone to help you out with registration.

Update: as @Дима-Мельниченко mentioned, you can connect Suunto app to Runalyze directly and then moves will be transferred automatically when you sync your watch with Suunto app or SuuntoLink.

well, here we go. loyalty discount burned. new charcoal model on the way.

@andrasveres and others who took the time to answer, thank you.
At the end I surrendered to the corruption of modern gadgets and got a smartphone (fooling myself with the excuse that “I also use it for work”)…
just to discover that I can’t sync to MovesCount those moves recorded after MovesLink was abandoned.
Looking at maps on a smartphone screen, although 6.3", is frustrating and using any software on a computer, with screen, mouse, and keyboard, is way more practical than on a smartphone.

@andré-faria
So now Suunto app route planner will work for ambits too? It’s a bit confusing the way it’s written. Did they mean ambit users will be able create route in Suunto app, but will have to sync them using Suunto link anyway? No direct sync of routes to watch using bluetooth for ambit3?

regger

Is there any possibility to transfer the tags of the moves to another plattform? I will miss them…I used movescount for searching of activity data of past activities still quite often in the last months.

sebchastang

What about Suunto apps (https://www.movescount.com/apps#sorting=5)?
We already lost Suunto apps logs (data logging capability) sync when moving from moveslink2 to Suuntolink. Does it mean we won’t even be able to create / use Suunto apps anymore?
Suunto support told me 3 weeks ago Suunto apps implementation was in progress but I really doubt about it

A Former User

Sorry guys, I don’t work for suunto, so if you have those doubts contact support.
@Prenj by the email I understood the same way as you do. Regarding ambit 3 don’t know also.
Only time will tell.

A Former User

@andré-faria I’m eagerly waiting that SuuntoLink update to see how all those features get implemented.
Nice to see Suunto is progressing in this direction too.

Heard from some people it works pretty well.

A Former User

@André-Faria did you received this notice by email? Wondering why I haven’t received it nor does the Suunto’s Digital Service page mention about it.

Can you post the link underneath the “Learn how” button please?

Update: I’ve got similar notice when I logged in to Movescount.

I’ll try to clarify some questions as far as I understand the situation. I may be wrong or something may change.

Suunto App route planner will work for Ambits/Traverse via SuuntoLink. You create route/POI in the app and sync it to the watch via SuuntoLink only.
No Tags support unfortunately
Public “SuuntoApps” will be available to setup via SuuntoLink. If you have your own private SuuntoApps, you will be able to use them on the watch as long as they are in memory, if you remove them from watch - you won’t be able to setup them again or create a new “SuuntoApp”
Emails are sent to those who were identified as Ambit users. You may receive yours later.

THanks for clearing.
