Hooray for you! Others don’t have the same luxury. I don’t have a mobile phone or tablet that will support the Suunto App, so in essence I have a very expensive wrist weight. The loss of movescount eliminates my ability to access my data. It’s hard to discuss how one will use it when now I can’t. You’re so blessed to have all the answers…

My Ambit will not leave me ;-).
I will use Rubitrack to upload my data on my Mac to sync it with Strava.
On my old IPad Movescount is still working. When this app is offline it still allows me to „share“ sessions manually to Strava…not very comfortable but it works.
My IPhone XS still doesn’t recognize Ambit as a Bluetooth device!!! No way!
It is s shame how Suunto ignores Ambit user having problems with new IPhones (11, SE, XS). Support is too bad for me to get me motivated to buy a new S9Baro. We will see what Christmas brings…

Ambit1. ambit2, ambit3peak, spartan baro, s9b-titanium user here.Suunto user for 10 years. I like suunto android app, but I am missing WEB platform. Expecially bug with altitude at route creation makes me to move to another brand. I have cycling comp from garmin and next year I will buy watch also. From my view lacking of WEB platform is a mistake for suunto. Who knows. 31.12.2020 under line revenues for 2020 will tell if the decision was correct. If web is back (route creation and route sync and basic reports without sync to billion other apps), maybe-only maybe I will be back also :).

@Brad_Olwin the same here
ant the tag analysis function in SA is not as good as in MC -
Saw this today on the Suunto web site on the next migration dates. I cannot see since when this is online, so sorry in advance for maybe posting what everyone already knew. There is a -30% loyalty offer for Spartan, Ambit and Traverse owners that I hope at least for some might be a possible path. Offer is valid from 01 October 2020 to 31 March 2021.

-------------- end quote -----------------The fact they have offer a loyalty , really a bribe Spartan family, Ambit (3,2,1) or Traverse watches suggests to me that they always intended to KILL the watches off…Kill them offer so we buy a newer watch…Surely they should be trying to support us better, thats loyalty.

BUT I want a fully featured and functioning Ambit 3 Peak.

@regger - using the phone app: in the description of each activity you can add details, which you can then search on when in the summary view. For example I tend to add the EPOC details, battery usage (wear os thing), and some other bits and pieces, whether I was connected to phone, GPS mode, Fused tracking or best etc. Which quickly enables me to see all activities with that detail.

@Prenj careful on the assumption regarding Garmin device dependency on their app or web service. Their entire ecosystem (including watches) went down w that ransomware attack a few months back.
Always carry a flaggon of whiskey for snakebite; and furthermore, always carry a small snake.
User of pretty much every watch since the Ambit 3 Peak. Now back in the family w SV :)

But most of the watch settings could have been changed on the watch itself and you could still download your activities to computer and upload them wherever you like.

In that time I bought an edge 530 and had zero issues setting it up and using all features that I needed. Configuration was done on the device. Files were also possible to upload somewhere and even updates could be done with the update file.

Show me a web service that this could not happen too… That is just the sign of the times and is something that you expect too happen… Shutting down a perfectly good service and making people use something not suitable is not what you expect… I would have liked to see IMPROVEMENTS…But hey what do we know …
Ambit 3 Peak with HRM, Movescount on Samsung S6 Active,Android 7.1.2…Suunto app installed for test only…

Got any really relevant example like from any other sport watch manufacturer that significantly degraded the service or removed many important features of watches they were selling at the time? I’m struggling to find any beside Suunto.

Same here… Even garmin don’t downgrade older device’s(friends still uses a forerunner 10 and a forerunner 620 which is FULLY functional) They simply incorporate them in to near platforms…
Suunto have set the bar as to how low they can go…

How long had those devices NOT been on sale and how long had the service continued after the last sale of them??? Suspect was not like suunto has done… You know, selling the watches with lots of features even when they have closed the service that supports them.Which then kills alot of features etc
