@mountainherder those are the exact issues I’m having. I have been in direct contact with Suunto Support, but I am just getting the run around with support, where they are continually asking me to do the same thing over and over. Currently, they are asking me to send them links of synced moves, etc, but how am I supposed to do that when the moves aren’t syncing.
I have noticed that if I start a move and it is very short in time, basically a couple minutes to a few seconds, it will sync to the app. However, a normal activity that is longer in duration doesn’t sync. So, I am inclined to think there is an issue with bluetooth connectivity and the amount of information being exported to the app from the watch. Older technology I’m assuming. I’m glad I am not the only one with the same issue. -
@JMOppenheim that is what is happening to mine as well. I’ve been in contact with Suunto support but they haven’t been able to resolve the issue and are just asking me to do the same thing over and over. They send me links to their website on how to fix bluetooth connectivity, etc, but aren’t really helping a whole lot. My only solution is to connect my watch to Moveslink 2 every time I do an activity and upload my activities to Movescount which will then upload it to my Strava app. Hopefully, they fix the issue sooner than later.

@JMOppenheim
sorry, missed to answer your question…
my wife has infrequeny synced her ambit thru mobile MC and ran into unsuccessful never ending sync process.
She interrupted and synced without any problem by cabledid it work for you in the meantime?
-
I have to move my activities to Movescount via USB on the Moveslink 2 computer app. That’s the only way my activities are coming off the watch to move over to my Strava app. The Suunto App is basically useless to me at this point.
-
@JohanT
did you connect your ambit to MC app before you wanted to connect it to SA?
If this is the case you need to unpair the mobile app in the watch. -
@TELE-HO Ya, Ive done all of that multiple times. I’ve also done several forced firmware repairs on the watch via moves link 2 with all the same negative results.

@JohanT
when I’ve had a fenix back in dark ages, I’ve had problems to sync and the reason was a damaged bluetooth chip or antenna… never fixed it because it was wifi ready
maybe you watch has also an issue, when you say you tried all the tricks already… if it’s still within warranty I would let suunto check the watch -
@TELE-HO unfortunately I’ve had this watch for about 5 years and it has seen a lot of use. Based on some of the responses it appears I’m not the only one with this issue, but it may be a Bluetooth connectivity issue. Might be time for an upgrade.
-
@JohanT
I’ve made an upgrade and don’t regret it at all
-
My ambit3 will do for now. It’s still functional, apart from the app issues. Not that big of a deal to plug in via USB. Just annoying that Suunto can’t figure it out.
-
I have exactly de same problem. Iphone11 Pro and Ambit3 Peak. Moves won’t synchronize on Suunto App!!
Any news ? -
@AmineB I haven’t heard anything yet and Suunto hasn’t been in contact with me for a while. So I don’t know if I’m being ghosted now. Their tech people kept changing and they all seemed to offer the same type of support which had no positive results.
-
@JohanT I see you posted here two months ago. Has your issue been resolved yet? I have been trying to get some kind of assistance regarding the same issue since 25 November. Like you, I just get the same info that’s already available on the Suunto app’s help page, and have been doing the same steps over and over. Now my watch can’t even find the app, let alone find it but not sync.
-
@Deirdre-Hewitson
did you disconnect the app from the watch first? (in the watch itself) -
@TELE-HO I’m not sure what you mean? The Movescount app or the new Suunto app? I haven’t found any method other than going to Connectivity or Pair and unpairing the watch, going to the Bluetooth setting on the phone and clicking ‘forget this device’. I have gone through all the steps in the Suunto help pages, I’ve followed the steps sent to me by Suuntu (i.e., exactly the same steps given in the app’s help page), and I’ve followed YouTube videos. I followed all the steps when disconnecting from Movescount and connecting to Suunto when I had my iPhone X, and it worked fine most of the time. When I changed phones, i.e. from iPhone X to iPhone 11, the watch would no longer sync, and no one seems either to have an answer or can be bothered to answer.

@Deirdre-Hewitson
hmm… ok, maybe I can’t help either…
but what I wanted to say is that you should go to connections in your watch settings and do either unpair or re-pair mobile app.
It’s what I experience when I switch app connection from SA - S9B to SA - A3PS…
My ambit usually wants to be re-paired manually. But this could also be different for iOS (I use android) -
@TELE-HO Ah. Yes. I’ve done that. Just did it now again, in the hopes that the app has been debugged or something. When I repair my watch, I get sent a Bluetooth Pairing Request and I receive a code on my watch - so, basically, I do go through all the correct steps. Then the app sends the message that it’s paired and preparing to sync, and then it starts syncing, but none of the activities sync. It announces with each fail ‘Activities did not sync’ and ‘1/12 activities did not sync’.
-
@Deirdre-Hewitson
ok… I’m sorry -
@TELE-HO Thanks for trying!

iPhone 11 Pro and Ambit 3 Peak are having the issue, and it is very annoying!
This was not a problem with iPhone X and iOS13. So I assume Suunto are working on a fix for this, because all my runs are being added manually now
