So will Suunto be bold enough to go ahead and update the product page for Ambit3? It currently lists “Connectivity” under Key Features, and is listed as being compatible with iOS and Android. Yet we all know it will stop working in a month. So why wait? Just say it’s cable only until mid-end 2020 or when it’s going to be supported again.

Honestly I don’t know why this is considered to be good news. If I read this correctly, Movescount will be dead for any newer watches, and everything that is good in Movescount, including the excellent graphing and analysis tools will be killed for everyone. It will be reduced to just the watch configuration tool. That will be a very ugly solution if you ask me because some of the functionality will require a web page plus wired connection to a PC (because MC App will be killed too) and some functionality will require the app. I guess that will be better than nothing for Ambit and Traverse users, but very ugly nevertheless.
That’s not what I hoped. I hoped that the entire UI of Movescount would be left intact but changed to be working on top of SA (SportsTracker) backend, perhaps with some cosmetic changes, and available to new watches. That would make much more sense.

@mraka I hope it includes POIs & waypoints aswell.

@silentvoyager
it is good news compared to what was feared worst…
Suunto still keeps a secret about how MC will look and function… they say they rename it and keep keyfunction. But they don’t say they remove the graphs etc.
It will be cumbersome to only do watch settings in MC and sync by cable and check activities in SA… but maybe that’s what they want?
gently “convince” customers to upgrade.
I would at least expect a good web end if MC only keeps settings functionality.
I mean a good web end, not something like ST.Maybe QS? I consider this as miles ahead of ST!!
Albeit I don’t see my edited workout description in the list view.
But I started playing around with QS a bit and like what I see there basically

@TELE-HO
To me the update is not clear at all in relation to MC web. And the more I read it the more I understand (literal words of the announcement) Mc web will only keep the settings page and only for older legacy non-bluetooth watches. The announcement comes to say that the remainder of MC web, that is, the analysis tools, will go away.If this is true, to me this is awful news.
In case I eventually decide to change boat (I feel like Suunto is REALLY making me do it) I have been uploading my most recent moves to Garmin connect. It is a nice web but I have not been able to find my most beloved feature of MC web: annual progress. In any case, by the looks of it all, it seems that annual progress will fade away so I’m screwed anyway…
So, please, Suunto, explain yourself clear and do it as soon as possible. You owe it to your current customers.
-
@TELE-HO Funny thing is that QS is a hobby project and it is beating Suunto App’s / ST’s current offerings, which are backed by a company selling sports watches. So sad.

@jsuarez
crazy what a smart guy who is interested can do… in his freetime… between sports, work and family -
@jsuarez what is QS and how can I find it?
