    Meanwhile Coros is rolling out a pretty powerful web portal. So now Suunto is the only major fitness watch brand that doesn’t have a web platform.

      the missing possibility to crop activities when you forget to stop the watch when you’re finished is indeed a pain in the backside!

        …I notice that we drifted a bit off from @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos 's original post, telling us that 3D track movie is now available on big screen…
        but I do understand why: there are keywords that trigger expectations, like “big screen” or in my case everything that is related to “lock” 😉

          @freeheeler yeah there are few features that i really miss. I don’t want to be just complaining 😄 i really like suunto brand. And i complain because i don’t want to go away from this brand in future. So i hope that when i “scream” somebody will listen :D. I just hope Suunto will not end up as famous nokia in past. It was best phones ever and then they did some bad decisions and never recovered when they didn’t jump on android “train”.

            I think there are things we miss no matter device we use. I also often caught myself thinking: Oh man, I miss structured intervals, or miss weather, or miss payment on the watch. And then when I had it (like I bought Garmin), I used it once, twice, and no more. I try to say is that Suunto has its strategy, and not everybody must agree, but I do not feel they are heading the “Nokia destiny.” They are precise, simple-to-use with many features that most people are not even using. They have a beautiful design and a great mobile app. Yes, they lack the web, but honestly, I don’t want to sound unpolite, but I think it is more for the older generation (I’m 38 y.o.). These days, it is all about phones that are often more powerful than laptops. People tend to use smaller devices in the majority of cases during the day. I know it’s more convenient to plan your route on the big screen so use Komoot or Plotaroute to Strava. Look at Garmin Connect. Planning route there is a f***g disaster. And Polar Flow?Not worth commenting. Anyways, Suunto needs to listen and update continuously and not fall asleep, no doubt.

              @markytarky yes i agree that many things is focusing more and more to smartphones. I am only 32 years old and i like to use mobile devices, tablets etc. But maybe because i work daily 8h on PC, i didn’t forget how good it is for me to check my data on PC, plan my routes on PC etc. It is like other things, i can edit photos on smartphone but i doubt that any profesional photographer prefer working on smartphone instead of PC. Same for programming or writing long word documents. There are some task that are best to do on smartphones, but than there are other thinks that are possible on smarphone but it is at cost of usability. But, maybe i am not average target group. Just know i miss it every day since i stopped using Ambit 2.

              Definitely i value work done on mobile app. My complains are not to attack programmers at suunto. It is just to point there are another customers that miss this lost features.

                @markytarky said in 3D on the BIG Screen:

                Yes, they lack the web, but honestly, I don’t want to sound unpolite, but I think it is more for the older generation (I’m 38 y.o.). These days, it is all about phones that are often more powerful than laptops.

                There are tasks that are better done on phones and there are tasks that require a large screen and a precision of a mouse or a trackpad.

                An example I like to bring is finding out how much time total I spent in a race in all aid stations. Try doing that with a Suunto app. With Movescount that was easy to accomplish, easier than with any other platform I used. Basically that requires seeing a map synchronized with the graphs, ability to overlay e.g. cadence, pace, HR on a graph, ability to zoom into graphs, and ability to see tooltips that show time and distance. With Movescount I could quickly find all aid station stops, zoom in and see precisely when I stopped running and when I resumed. That helped me to build split tables for repeating races on the same course. That, by the way, would be an awesome feature that nobody does right - having splits for each aid station for an upcoming race and checking how you are performing against the planned splits - whether you are ahead or behind. I guess Garmin Pace Pro is supposed to do something like that but it doesn’t really work.

                Another issue that everyone forgets is accessibility. Perhaps that is the reason older people prefer PCs. It isn’t a matter of using a PC. It is a matter of having a large screen that one can see well. My eyesight is declining and when I use a phone I have to use a large font; otherwise I can’t see things well. But let me tell you - most apps really suck with a large font. It seems most developers never bother to test apps with large fonts. And even if they work correctly the density of data is usually so low that these apps are borderline unusable. And yes, Suunto app used to have a number of bugs when running with large fonts too. I don’t know if those bugs are fixed now because I hardly ever use Suunto app these days.

                    Finally got this to work in Safari! For weeks it’s just reloaded indefinitely - as did the FatMap website. However, a reboot and a corresponding software update to Safari, and everything finally works!

                      Sorry to dig this thread out but is there a way to display/share an activity using the classic map view and not the 3D?
                      I have a couple of old friends who are not really into 3D things but more stuck on paper maps.

                                          Excellent web and app feature, thanks!
                                          -> https://www.suunto.com/sports/News-Articles-container-page/play-your-adventures-back-in-3d-in-suunto-app/

                                          However I have to say I much prefer the smartphone app 3D view in Portrait with the live update on the key three metrics.

                                          Could we share this video view in portrait mode in different social networks? (ideally having a MP4 video export option on the smartphone, then you would offer all the Suunto owner, a basic Relive feature for “free”, that is a competitive advantage against competition)
                                          (the social viral spread could be further extended then -> Youtube shorts, TikTok, Instagram reel, Facebook portrait feed, …)
