So, what are you going to do after Movescount closes?

I know the feeling. I’m now trying out Suunto 9 baro, but for now I’m not too impressed to be honest. I’m missing Movescount, dedicated backlight button during activities, battery life outside of activities, the screens cannot be disabled or at least reordered even I don’t use them at all (heart rate, sleep tracking, fitness instructions).

This heart rate screen pisses me off. Every time I want to go to the altitude screen I have to go pass this and there is this delay at HR screen. In A3P you could have easily disabled screens that you don’t need. Because of it watch feels sluggish, even thou every other screen works reasonably fast. Why would anyone put the slowest part of watch interface just next to the basic watchface?!

@ianpet once I also thought the 3HR was my favorite watch, then I realized it was mostly good-old-times effect and at that time I didn’t care much about the watch, therefore I was happy even if the tracks were horrid (and they were)

@prenj Turn off HR monitoring, the screen will not then be attempting to acquire your HR. Most of the issues you are mentioning are watch based not MC based, perhaps this is the incorrect thread. Connecting the S9 to MC did not change the things you dislike.

Prenj

@brad_olwin
You are right, wrong topic. But just one more thing if I may. I have disabled daily hr. Is that it? It’s still trying to acquire HR when changing screens and it still slows down at HR screen.

@prenj thanks for this. Imo you are 100% right. I just directly passed this to PO.

Here is also my feedback, not only you are right, but also in order to get a good HR at that screen it might take up to 1m

If you want feel free to share your feedback here about the competitor watch.
We can all profit
Edit: saw that you already have one post, wonder what changed.

I have actually sold my Suunto 9 back in February 2020, right after I left this forum (I was here under silentvoyager name before). I continue using Garmin 6X for now even though there are a few things that clearly annoy me. But at least the platform is far more flexible, the battery life is far superior, and the accuracy is acceptable - on par of better than Suunto 9. I am used to have maps on device and won’t move to another brand unless there is a good alternative. With Suunto specifically I really dislike the idea of using Suunto App, especially the awkward way of organizing and pushing navigation routes to the watch where I have e-mail a route to myself or share it via something like Google drive. That is just inconvenient. Having mobile app only platform would be a strong argument against Suunto platform even if Suunto releases a new watch, and the same applies to Coros.

Many tools have integration with Suunto App (and more will have) which gives you opportunity to add routes from the tool/your computer to Suunto App without sharing/email, just in one click.

is the golf feature still there and not possible to deactivate or hide?
Is it now possible to sort backcountry skiing / ski touring by total ascent?
Is it possible now to look up the ascent rate?

@prenj good to report, hopefully this will get fixed for you.

Don’t know about golf. Couldn’t care less about golfing, but since all the watch menus are customizable I don’t see golf anywhere.

Don’t know about backcountry skiing. I only do running, trail running, and occasionally, very rarely, hiking.

Ascent rate field can be added to data screens. For example, I have it in trail running. Furthermore the units for vertical speed can be customized between several choices. I have mine in feet/minute.
But I find vertical speed to be quite unstable when conditions are windy.

like in 2016 when I’ve had the F3… but no info in the app or web summary.
I just checked my old account: golf is still there and no sorting of total ascent for backcountry skiing.
I’ve requested and suggested this over and over again

You mean… this:

(sorry for changing my flatter than flat XC to BC, I’m just afraid there’s no skinning for me during this season )

@margusl
I did not see the ascent

It’s your phone, it’s way too small for GC

Seriously, you need something that goes beyond 1024 in width before that table header is even shown, like landscaped IPad Pro. And Advanced is just for filtering, not sorting.

No idea why they decided to provide only certain metrics for certain sport types, but this is what you’ll get for BC ski:

All the days, I can see that Movescount site is still active for many people because there are a lot of new Moves.

I can see that many users upload Moves directily with:
Suunto 9 Baro
Suunto Spartan Ultra
Suunto Quest

And also from 3rd parties like:
FitnessSyncer
iQniter
MXActivityMover

Could anybody explain why Movescount is still working?
And if I have a Suunto Ambit 3 Sport, could I use any of these 3rd parties to upload Moves to Movescount site?
And how??

@ramón-castañer-botella Hi Ramón, I think here are the answers.

Ramón Castañer Botella

@bulkan
Ok, thanks.
I think you are joking or you have not understood what I’m asking for.
The link you have gave me is for upload the data to new Suunto app and not to old Movescount site. Of course I know this procedure.
But I was asking for the old Movescount site.

pavel.samokha

@ramón-castañer-botella I wonder how do you check that there are “many users upload Moves directly”? Using what page?

Ramón Castañer Botella

@pavel-samokha

That’s very easy:
You enter in Movescount site, you look in Community and then in Groups. You look for the biggest groups for example:
https://www.movescount.com/groups/group2318-Suunto_Ambit_family_users

Then you look for the 10 LATEST MOVES and you open some of them. At the end of some Move it appears how it has been upload.
As you will see, you can find Moves uploaded with:
Suunto 9 Baro
Suunto Spartan Ultra
Suunto Quest

And also from 3rd parties like:
FitnessSyncer
iQniter
MXActivityMover

The question is WHY???

freeheeler

@ramón-castañer-botella
3rd parties is maybe because of forgotten sync services?
