@jthomi ok, that one I read already. So, no info yet. I’ll wait

Just to get this on record - I asked Suunto directly about sports mode customisation in the app and had this reply back from the support team (dated 13th May 2019) which hopefully is a spark of good news for Ambit 3 Peak users…

“Compatibility of the Suunto application to the legacy watches are still being develop by our team, Our developers still continue to develop the Suunto application and they will be able to fully have it compatible for the watch, earliest by summer next year.”

@eeonefivebee
fully compatible sounds promising.
I can live with their schedule and by then they have hopefully created a useful web interface, too

“earliest by summer next year” means “earliest by summer 2020”???

[freeheeler]

@karel-louda
this is how I understand it, yes.
I also received an answer couple of weeks ago directly from Suunto in which they told me that we will be able to use Movescount at least until summer 2020.
I assume they give the users some spare time for overlapping both apps.

“earliest in summer 2020” has been communicated from (public) start of digital service transition, it was also stated in announcement made in January:

It is in this context that we will begin to wind down our previous service, Suunto Movescount, with a target of closing the service earliest in summer 2020.

Here and there some people somehow missed the 2020 part…
Original text at https://www.suunto.com/Content-pages/digital-service-transition/has been updated, but https://forum.suunto.com/post/19062 should hold the first (public) revision.

It is okay for me. The sync of my daily activities from the Ambit 3 to SA is perfect and fast. The sport modes, apps and routes are synced to the watch with Movescount and don’t change often. And some day it will be able to play with SA and all features without Movescount. It’s okay.

@TELE-HO Thank you for this update. I am confident that A3 will be fully supported. It would be a industrial/marketing crash to turn off support for it, with no serious technical reasons.

When SA was launched, no information was released about A3 support but now we have basic support (with some problems like no multisports activity full support -only total activity is synchronized, individual legs are missing-, but with best things like synchronization which is very fastest with SA than MC).

Suunto communication could be better, but there is positive signs. Thanks for all users reactions and messages on Google play comments, on this forum and more. For sure it was a game changer.

Some steps forward and we will be able to setup our A3 watchs, our workout sessions and define routes with SA… and the future web interface that replace movescount

[eeonefivebee]

@karel-louda Yes, that is my understanding from their email.

That would be perfect, it would save me having to buy a tablet or smartphone, neither of which I want or need.

I received this reply email this morning, to the question if it will be possible to upload GPX on the ambit 3. Good news on the horizon

" We know that you’ve been waiting for our reply and we apologize that it took so long. We hope also that it is not yet late to answer your questions.

Uploading GPX track or route will always be the main feature of the watch. So yes, it will be available regardless if Movescount will be discontinued.

Thank you and have a great weekend! "

Is there anything to consider, settings or otherwise, in order to minimise the risk of duplicates after the transition from MC to SA?

Thanks in advance!
