Serious update for Ambit3 users

@Prenj there is a thing to think about. At some point (and already happening) the MC app wont work due to iOS / Android updates.

Also from what I read I dont see why the “new” mc wont have activity analysis. Imo they will shutdown things like social

Well if they keep analysis that would be great, but I didn’t get this impression from reading the statement. I hope you are right as I find Movescount analysis much better than the one in SA.

What about apps? Any updates on this?

@TELE-HO I dont know my friend to answer this because in these decisions my task is to collect feedback.

apps is THE selling point of ambit

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Prenj WIhtout knowning and without wanting to raise hopes or anything like that, just sharing my opinion I do think analysis will still be there, and apps as well. I dont see any reasons (even to save up $$) why those should go away.

On a side note, analysis (summaries) comes to SA , and already many other apps, like my own offer a pretty solid view. I am not saying the prev sentence to indicate that this should be leveraged to others (3rd parties) but that rather , an Ambit 1 user for example will be able to sync via SL to any other 3rd party , something that was quite limited in the past.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
yes I understand that
my feedback: SA + future MC = top notch, because I learn to love SA day by day more but miss the web service on the other hand…

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said in Serious update for Ambit3 users:

like my own offer

QS gets a direct partner connection to SA? nice
will QS show the activities description in the dashboard, too? I mean the one that some of us add to give the specific activity a unique “name”…

and while I’m already asking (in an offtopic thread…) I have in QS stuff back to 2018 but my all data would go back to 2016… is there a way to add this data in QS?

@TELE-HO Lets pm all those are there

So in response to ‘how do I configure structured workouts on my Ambit 3 if I change mobile devices after 18th of December?’ question, I received:

“We understand this is important for you. No official announcement regarding structured work-outs sadly. You will surely be updated on the planned changes and your insights will be included in our discussions.”

Make of that what you will…

After official MC google play retirement, there will be surely apk to be shared to install again MC app.

[amasidlover]

@Mff73 Installing the apk is fine until its no longer compatible with current Android… To be fair, as an Ambit3 user, if it gets to that point and all other functionality is OK then I can still sell the watch for a fair price and replace it with something else.

Thankfully we’re not going to be in the position of not being able to modify any settings; that would have made the device un-sellable secondhand…

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@amasidlover I dont think that would be the case. From what I understand the app downside is no structured intervals

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos is this the statement you wrote about? If yes, why is it not propagated to customers via email or by any different channel? Thanks

[freeheeler]

@thailon
this newsletter thing obviously doesn’t work… I did not receive it either… and if I remember right @lohtse was also on the list but not distributed last time we discussed it

[thailon]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos the week passed away, no announcement by Suunto. It is great to see Kilian Jornet and his family are doing good, or to know it is good to have headlamp to run in the dark, but it would be more serious to inform us about what is going on, wouldn’t it?

as others I didn’t received it also. Only knew because of facebook group and this forum.

@André-Faria
I would like to hear from somebody who actually received the newsletter… because I only heard so far that this did not work and people only learn it in this forum or because they stumbled over it on Suunto web page…
I did not receive this news by email and also not in MC…
for me it works as I frequently read here! But e.g. my sister in law would not learn about that if she would not be informed by me

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos do you have any new info regarding this? Is MC going to lose activity analysis?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Prenj I dont know I wait for their roadmap I think that is coming for Ambits

Still no roadmap for ambits?
