Ambit 3 Peak : Keep Movescount or change for SUUNTO app ?

[Prenj]

The end is near…

[amasidlover]

And yet the Suunto website still shows…

So hopefully this September’s update to Suunto app is including modifying settings for the Ambit3 (or at least transfer of settings). Which is odd because the transition pages all say that settings will be via Suuntolink…

I would try emailing Suunto support for clarification but can’t seem to find an email address on their website anymore…

@Prenj yep, that’s why I moved to Suunto app in the begining of this year. Wish I could be able to sync settings via the app just like with SuuntoLink, even if I had to manage them on Movescount site. At least a had an option to change settings when I don’t have access to a PC and/or USB cable.

@amasidlover & @andrasveres
I think @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said that that’s not gonna happen, if I’m not mistaken. And that sucks, because it should really not be that hard to implement in Suunto app or some separate service made just for syncing settings. I have been suggesting this for quite some time, but it seems that is somehow in collision with their vision for the future of ambit3 line.

@Prenj Yeah I know, but one can dream, thru not keeping high hopes on it.

So what functionality will we keep on are ambit 3’s??? will we be able to still use mini apps and sync the data collected??

Just seems like suunto are giving us a two finger salute!!!

@Mathieu-Ricaud you have no choice. MC will be shut down for sync in october. Old data will be available, but you can not upload new data.

Mini app: yes - using Movescount and SuuntoLink2
Sync data: yes - using either App via BT or SuuntoLink2

so I will still be able to create mini apps and sync data after the 27th OCT when they are closing down moveslink?

@lohtse yes, explained in video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8VwhU99AIM

It seems their tech support don’t know this as I rang them just to get some confirmation about what we will be able to do and what we will be loosing.

And the video doesn’t confirm anything. It simply says howto connect movescount to SportsTRASHER no mention of mini apps whats so ever.

They stated that they will be dropping support for mini apps, and there may be only limited sync support.!!!

[lohtse]

Hate the suunto app and the sportsTRASHER web site… When I compare how much data I have to analyse Movescount is far far better with the amount of information I can see in charts etc…For instance on one trek I have 13 charts with info on movescount and 3 on SportsTRASHER And yet Suunto claim that SportsTRASHER will be a better experience. For who???

all these charts are missing
Pace
Cadence
Temperature
EPOC
Energy Consumption
Respiration rate
Vertical speed
Sea level pressure
Est. VO2
R-R

and all this general info is missing(seen above route on movescount)

Speed

max

Pace

max

Recovery time

Feeling

PTE

Cadence

max

Ascent time

Descent time

Flat time

Highest point

Lowest point

Temperature

Est. VO2

Easy

Moderate

Hard

EPOC Peak

@lohtse the data is available in Suunto App on Android and iOS.
Sports-Tracker website is not intended to show you actual data, Suunto never mentioned it, but Suunto App instead.
if you need webplatform I’d recommend you @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos quantified-self.io is good alternative, well integrated with Suunto App (or any from the list https://www.suunto.com/partners/partners/)

As for mini-Apps - not clear, yes, I guess apps you have installed on Ambits will continue to work (but not sure).

@pavel-samokha

If sportstrasher is not intended to show us actual data then what the heck is the point in it??? As to seeing data in the app nope I still see far less than I do on movescount!!

[isazi]

@lohtse it’s another service, older than Suunto App.

What has suunto become??? Jeez they have become useless and pathetic…

thank you for the heads up about quantified-self.io

[pavel.samokha]

@lohtse Please read everything Suunto said regarding transition at https://www.suunto.com/digitalservices. Don’t know why you asking about Sports-Tracker, but it doesn’t mentioned anywhere there.

Have you installed Suunto App on you mobile phone and synced your workouts there? What data do you miss there on mobile phone?

Not a nice comment on the Suunto forum. Critics are one things, this is just a very unpolite comment. Anyway.

thank you for the heads up about quantified-self.io

Check also, if you don’t know it yet, Runalyze. It’s an awesome analytics service.

@isazi when your perfect watch and companion is basically ruined by the company that produced it because they don’t want to listen to the users, I feel my comments are justified… They are supposed to provide full support devices and features for there devices for something like three years(am sure someone will correct me) from when they stop selling them, yet suunto has all but binned there ambit range and traverse range. in favour of their WOKE generation sports/smartwatches… But my apologies for any offence I have cause users on here.

@pavel-samokha

is not the sportstrasher the replacement for movescount?
