        @tomhaegler such a great watch. True outdoor companion. Such a shame Suunto is treating it this way…

          Still don’t know that I’ll switch, because without a firmware update and the ability to manually enter coordinates, if you don’t have cell service in the backcountry or offline maps in SA, still hobbled on the new watches. They are for sport, not really for backcountry use.

          Actually, @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos - this could be interesting. Firmware update on A3P to create POIs on the watch, manually entering coordinates. But I know…we are not going to see another A3P firmware update…does not make sense from a business perspective. If only the code was open source šŸ™‚ some clever person could add it…

          Tom, sorry I wasn’t clear there, but others jumped in. Yes, the Ambit series, 3 and prior…and the Traverse series…all allow defining a POI directly on the watch by entering GPS coordinates. Starting w/the Spartan forward, that’s been dropped. I moved from a Vertical to a Spartan, waited as long as i could for that feature that never came from Suunto, sold it, back to the A3P until it dies or Suunto decides to support us backpackers and backcountry travelers again.

            @Prenj I think so, too! I will use it until it dies. I hope it’s possible and Suunto doesn’t brick it by shutting down all sync/settings possibilites. Even if I HAVE to use a cable - It’s not the end of the world…but I really hope they (or some 3rd party hackers) can keep it alive! Actually - if I knew it would be possible to use this watch in 5-6 years, I would buy a backup now, while it’s still available.

              Just an idea, have not tried it yet… How about using Android USB server app? Maybe we could sync with Suuntolink by connecting watch to mobile phone with USB OTG? In that case I might install Suuntolink on a server in my company and be able to sync outdoors without carrying laptop with meā€¦šŸ¤”

                @Prenj doesn’t sound bad if the USB service proxies USB of your Android to the server

                  Well that’s the idea. They claim that works like that. I’ll try to test it as soon as I have some spare time…

                    It works! Well at least in local network. USB is recognized just as it was connected directly to computer. I tested with Moveslink2, but I guess there is no reason it shouldn’t work with suuntolink too.
                    Now I just need to see if this can work easily from outside of my local network by itself or I need VPN connection.

                        @Prenj , that’s a pretty neat approach!
                        But their licencing… quite reasonably priced one time purchase (yay!), bound to server hw with no licence transfer option (nay … ). For extra $90/year subscription they also provide their own VPN, already integrated into server.

                          @margusl yeah, not exactly cheap… I see now there are few alternatives too. Will check them too. Btw this VPN they are offering, I tried it but it didn’t work for some reason…

                          The good thing is that there is an option to keep this mobile sync. Little more cumbersome, but OK, better then nothing.

                          Suunto could just make some ā€œsync settingsā€ app too… Well movescount app with stripped all other options would do just that. Not to much programming needed I guess. But I guess it’s off the table already so let’s do what we can…

                            @Prenj Excellent stuff.

                            When you’re done checking SuuntoLink and the VPN requirement (or not) … how about trying your hand at rephrasing the spec sheet line on ā€œWatch customizationā€? ā€œWireless/USB syncā€ needs a bit of an update to reflect your findings and you’ve certainly earned the honor (/chore).

                            It might need a couple more words and a mention of possible additional cost. Also, for the Apple folk, isn’t iOS a bit picky on the OTG adapter front? A warning there?

                            Ought to be worth at least a Suunto gift voucher for this appropriate accessory.

                              @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos How can you understand that a watch that was bought with a series of functions such as synchronizing routes with the movescount application and our A3P, being able to customize sport modes in our A3P, … and now we need suuntolink, cable and pc? It is not logical that they have taken away functions that we used to have, can anyone understand it? I at least am unable to understand it.

                                  This is totally irresponsible treatment by Suunto towards its customers.

                                        her longest activities will be 4-6hrs backcountry skiing šŸ˜‰
                                        The nice thing about S9B is that I can charge it every now and then and can do sports whenever I want and I really don’t worry about battery charge… I even don’t remember when I last charged šŸ˜‰
                                        But I understand why she decided for the S7. Very nice female design, usability for everyday also in the office and much more functions than her A3R.

                                          Suunto has betrayed us when it does not enable the full functionality of the Ambit series in the Suunto App.
