I do not follow the Suunto news that much and was only aware of these developments the e-mail sent out by Suunto end of April.
I am also an Ambit 2 user, my father has an Ambit (1).
I think now, I would still chose Ambit 3 over Spartan or Suunto 9: I do not need a colored touch screen on my watch that I take into the outdoors, where it is likely to be bashed by rock and ice…
And I can’t operate a touch screen with gloves…
It had everything I needed and still checks all the boxes today.
So my vote goes to a platform that can be accessed on a pc, where I can upload data, download routes I create, create sport modes, … and connect with my cable.
Any replacement should have the same capabilities as Movescount.
But for me movescount is perfect, so in my opinion “if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it”.
What is the best way to follow the news on this subject and where can we show Suunto that we would not like movescount to disappear?
