@sebchastang Get Telerik Fiddler or another debugging proxy that supports https connections and you can capture those SuuntoLink files.

lmao
I thought https://forum.suunto.com/post/65994 vs https://www.reddit.com/r/Suunto/comments/j82nsj/how_to_get_activities_as_fit_or_tcx_from_suunto/g8aw7jt?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 was hilarious, but this is getting better and better

@margusl Finally … qualified SAR. About time you showed up.

@Fenr1r , @margusl , @kukubau Thanks a lot for all those tips . I now have to find the time to experiment this.

@kukubau from QS you can also export to GPX.

@kukubau @margusl @Fenr1r I have read all the links / post / articles you provided to me. Thanks again.
I understand that the only way to get the missing data from custom apps is to use MovesLink2 “offline”. I just uninstalled it last week and switched to Suuntolink. Do you think I can have the 2 softwares installed on my computer (moveslink2 and suuntolink) ? Maybe I should just care not to run them at the same time.
Once I get the SML files from moveslink2, I should be able to convert them into an other format (GPX, FIT ?) and then, import the converted files into Suunto app or an other platform.
I’m just wondering if Suunto app will be able to display custom apps data in the graphs. @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos , can you please tell me if QS would be able to use the custom apps data and display them in the graphs?

I really appreciate your help.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@sebchastang no QS is not possible nor have I planned this

[sebchastang]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Thanks for your reply!
So even if I manage to retrieve the missing apps data, no web/mobile app seems to be able to display those data
Sunnto should have think about this and propose a workaround or an alternative to keep on using/visualize those data

You can. Stand-alone variant of Moveslink2 - http://moveslink.static.movescount.com/Moveslink2.zip - is still available, so you don’t actually need to install it, just extract & run. And also take care of auto-run settings for both Moveslink2 & Suuntolink. IIRC Moveslink2 Movescount connection must be set up before it attempts to pull activities form the watch and generates SML files, this is probably bit easier to arrange now and not wait until Movescount access is closed for Moveslink2.

You’d be facing multiple hurdles here. While adding custom data to GPX or FIT is nothing too challenging, getting other parties to respect your custom data and adjust accordingly is a whole different story.

Here’s a real life example to think about: Suunto App and power data from Ambits. Ambit3 users have been able to sync directly with Suunto App for almost 2 years for now and since spring we can also sync with Suuntolink, but we still don’t have our Stryd nor bike powermeter data in Suunto App. Even more annoying - we also lack power in all our connected 3rd party services. I would not even consider power as a “custom” data, after all everything related to power seems to fine with Spartans and S-line watches, meaning that infra in Suunto App is actually in place. This is something I’d take into account when guessing the chance of custom app data being supported by Suunto App at some day. Or in other words - all development targeting previous watch generations seems to have lowest possible priority.

If you can’t talk Dimi into adding custom app data support for sml-import in QS ( and I can actually understand him not being too psyched about the idea - Suuntolink2 is totally unsupported by now, number of users will dramatically decrease and by the end of the month and there will be just few SML-users left), there are few more projects with already existing SML support that might pick up this idea. In random order and off the top of my head -
https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah ,
https://github.com/Maproom/qmapshack ,
https://github.com/bwaldvogel/openmoves
(and no way it’s a complete list).

I’d first approach Openmoves guys - from those projects it’s smallest, yet kind of active and as it deals only with SML & GPX files and is Ambit-specific, adjusting data models shouldn’t take too much effort. One possible downside - you need to host it yourself. But hosting it locally should work just fine, even in Windows.

@margusl thank you very much for your help. It is not normal for us to have to find workarounds and alternatives to fill the lack of missing features / data with Suunto app. It is Suunto job to make this transition more smooth
