      @Saketo-Nemo I haven’t found the mode to have watch paired with 2 apps (Android). I don’t want to use simultaneously, just avoid to pair/unpair process

      Upssss… doing some testing… I found! start/stop plane mode and it works! 🙂

        Did anyone try the “parallel” setup on Ambit 3?
        Does it work ?

          @sartoric , I do. And it kind of works. Something is going on with notifications, I just notice it when phone beeps and I glance at a watch but nothing appears. Sometimes. I think. Maybe some notifications from some apps are just not pushed to the watch. At the moment I just went through steps bellow and also got a notification while SA is still re-syncing all the Moves from Ambit.

          Anyway,
          I unpair Ambit from phone’s BT devices;
          switch off phone’s BT;
          start pairing from watch (pair mobile app -> already paired -> replace);
          open Movescount, add watch and allow it to enable Bluetooth, pair with PIN and let it sync;
          close Movescount task (just closing it from task list seems to be enough);
          open SA, it wants to pair with a watch, accept (there’s no pin entry this time)
          and it starts syncing all logbook entries.

          if I want to sync with Movescount, I make sure I close SA from tasks, turn off Bluetooth, open Movescount and let it enable Bluetooth. Usually watch automagically syncs with SA, but I’m not 100% sure if it happens only when Movescount task is closed or put on hold by some Android bat. & resource management thingy.

          Android 8 on Galaxy S9 and Suunto app beta.

            Now it seems to work. My friend didn’t remove SA and unpair before trying the parallel use … despite my reccomandations 👿

            Do you have issues in transferring custom routes ?

                  @Dušan-Ković you can import routes into SA, just save the file somewhere either on your phone or the cloud then click to open it and the phone (mine does anyway) will ask what app you want to use and SA should be in the list. It will then open and you can save and sync it to the watch.

                  This works for me anyway, running an Android phone. Someone on here explained it, I am just repeating it!

                    HI guys,
                    i’m new here, and I have a problem,
                    I started using Suunto app, and have a few exercises there, and now i would like to update them to movescount, I read FAQ, downloaded Suntolink and did all the steps, but when i open my movescount I dont have my exercises there, so is there some other way?
                    Thanks

                      Did you already try to customize sport modes or routes ?
                      Because after that you cannot sync via cable anymore.

                      Somewhere up here you can find a workaround to use both SA and MC app.
                      Anyway you should sync to MC first and then to SA.

                          Unfortunately not.
                          That’s why there is that “warning” message.

                          to revert it you need to reset (not a soft one) the watch

                              Maybe using some strange combo with Sport tracker (that I would not suggest) or some other third party like Strava.

                                At this moment I try to do the same. I synced all my Movescount moves to Strava. Around 30 moves are not present in Movescount, but are in Suunto App (most of them not on the watch anymore).

                                So I tried to find a way to sync the last moves from Suunto App to Strava. Because I didn’t activated the Strava sync immediately, I now have to move them manually.
                                I tried exporting it as GPX from Sports-tracker and import it in Strava, but then Strava shows me the wrong times (sometimes more then double) for my running exercises.
                                Syncing with 3rd party tools gives me the same errors as the manual import/export.

                                So if anyone has some great advice…

                                  I’d use both SA and Movescount only if they used the same backend. As a software developer I know that anything short of that is going to be a mess, and I have very low tolerance for that. Is there any reason why SA can’t talk directly to Movescount backend instead of ST one?

                                  By the way, many responses here show that some users are confused and don’t understand that MC App and MC Web is the same thing as far as data storage is concerned.

                                    Small contribution: I used the Movescount App for a run because the watch (Suunto 9 Baro) crashed and was waiting for a reset, and the Suunto App still doesn’t support the HR chest monitor. The result is I still haven’t found a way for the recorded move, that is on the Movescount app, to be synced with my Movescount account. Tried creating a new move, pair/unpair the watch, even removed the Suunto App to try, didn’t change anything so far: the run has a black background indicating it’s not synced and indeed it is not… Any idea? Would really appreciate to have that move synced.

                                      Hello, I’m new, I walk from topic to topic for find informations and it gives me warm heart to see a beautiful community.

                                      I use both applications as well. I wanted to send my new routes created with MC (thanks to the import) in my Suunto 9B. Only, i have to reset the watch because it was connected with SA.

                                      Bug synthesis: My watch no longer displays the data “sunrise” and “sunset”. Neither the sun curve 😞
                                      A daily race without knowing the fall of the night is problematic lost in the forest.

                                            @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos hi i had several crashes of the watch ( the download symbol appeared on the watch face out of nowhere and i had todo 3 sec restart). This stopped when I removed the mc app. I would love to download the moves to mc via cable but never managed that. Basically I kept forgetting the right order and then could not find a way to resync to mc web after the sync to SA happened. Do you have a trick for that that does not involve resetting all the heart zones and personal settings on the watch?
