@herlas said in It's 2024 - Anyone Still Training Only With An Ambit?:

Stroke recognition is just way better as it allows us to teach the watch how we swim each stroke (learn mode)

Every time I read things like that I am surprised how good the Ambit series was and also shocked why things like that got dropped … was this something that Suunto had licensed from another company and therefore it was dropped? Does anyone know?

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos 🙂 i think it does not really mather too. pressure drops, watch peeps and bad weather could come. the good point is, everybody can choose to turn it on or off. ☺ 👍

@Efejota beautiful Suunto app… maybe it’s better also for me to go back to MC app…

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said in Running pace vs 965:

You are probably seeing speeds ups and drops due to speeding up from static position etc. And that is fine if that is the case.

The instant pace in Suunto watches (As already discussed here ) is much better than most competitors (and a reason for this discussion from prev members such as @skyrunner etc) .

What you need todo in order to report a bug or put weight in the discussion is to compare FIT files on the speed chart.

Notice that Suunto watches use INSTANT speed / pace not averaged (5-10s) such as for example coros and garmin etc. That is a trade off for the instant speed.

Additionally with older watches than the vertical , running with left / right hand will have different paces on track and field due to the offset if the watch is not having a good signal.

I don’t want to point a bug or complain. Your last sentence gave me a clue, I was always with the ambit on right hand.
Thank you for taking the time to answer me and better understanding how things work, which was my aim.

@IwanBass I agree with you … I want to replace my old Ambit 2, and I will look to the other brands …

A bit late noticing this but I was a little disappointed with the battery life of my vertical. I expected about 10hrs on GPS best but usually get about 8. When I queried this with Suunto the response was that linking it to a HR belt knocks the duration down (and to a foot pod or cadence sensor), so using the HR belt 8 hrs was about right. I tried using it on GPS good setting instead but the watch lost GPS signal a few times part way through runs and never reacquired it - in fact I had to reset the GPS before the next training session before it would get a signal. The watch kept recording time, altitude and distance (distance presumably from fused speed) but on download the track just ended part way through the route. This didn’t occur in woodland or built up areas either, it happened in open fell country.

@margusl, problem (easily) solved. It was really a matter of having too many route points. Thank you all.

Unfortunately factory reset didn´t change anything. It´s probably time to change the watch, because I cannot do anything more about it.

@overgrowntrail said in Ambit - importing POI’s from watch to Suunto App:

@André-Faria Exactly. Very disappointing to see Suunto as an use-and-throw-away orientated manufacturer. Especially as a manufacturer of devices that are used in nature.

@overgrowntrail let’s believe that they do their best with what they have. One “solution” may be having with you a device with windows 10/11 to install suunto link. There are some tablets with it.
@isazi although I understand your point, I think the fact that some ambit 3 users still speaking out may mean something…either that the watch still pleases them, has features that please them, and that may be also an oportunity for suunto to listen to it.
Also just because Suunto doesn’t have the resources doesn’t mean something can’t be done. Maybe opening the protocol of communication so someone could do something about it, or other types of solution. On my side I have zero interest in complaining.
PS: once upon at time I even proposed to open a bounty (inspiration here ) to collect money in order to pay to have these features (of corse to be develloped inside suunto), this way they could also understand how much people value this. On my side I would be ready to fork 100eur for having full support on suunto app for the A3P(and I already bought a s9b at similar price).

@dombo said in Power POD AND Bike POD:

@zadow try to add speed sensor to your setup (imho speed sensor is very important to have logged rapid change in speed - sprints/brakes and correct distance)

that will not work…like figured today out…
Also Suunto AP3 supports just one bike pod and as such is really unneeded because if I add speed sensor, suddenly the cadence part from power/candence crank does not work anymore…and also adding more as one pod does not work , since you can not have more as 1 pod working (well you can add 3 pods…which is bs, since just one pod can communicate) damn…this is really bs

OK, I see reasons for having more screens than available so I stand corrected but @Mff73 may have solved the issue in an ingenious way…I will have to test this out as I would like multiple graphs sometimes as well. One change I would like to see is the ability to scale the graph as we can scale the route on the Navigation page. Kudos to all of you for the great responses!

@Marcin-Byrtek
You can install the MC app APK, sync the settings and all is good

@Prenj said in Movescount & altitude profile:

This is so awkward. It almost feels like Suunto app is some third party app and not in house solution. They are just making things more and more complicated.

As it probably was bought from a third party and reskinned. I don’t see any other technical answer to all those decisions.

To be fair , it’s not the only site/app with this problem.

Unfortunately the “need” to have multiple login method lead to this 🙂

@Umer-Javed sounds good! my watch also showed the ambient pressure too high. compared to other ambits. at around 2hPa. when altitude is the same, the pressure should also be the same.
(but i have to say, it’s a “nice” to have, when it fits, specially when you are using the watch without GPS too. (i don’t track every evening hike). so it’s nice to look on your phone in a brake while hiking. and see if the barometer fits the next airport value. but i would not care anymore about it. over time, it could get inaccurate too.
FusedAlti uses the GPS to calibrate the barometer. so even if your barometer is not working correctly the gps calibrates it to the same value. but i am glad i bought it. i think such a simple “workhorse” watch will never be build again.

@Marcin-Byrtek , it will be fine, I just used a fresh route from plotaroute over the weekend with A3P. And you can test yours right after syncing to the watch:
Navigation > Routes > … > View > Next

This bug affects new routes that are built with MC route builder. It’s beyond me why there’s a problem providing an elevation graph for something that already has elev. data set.

Try adding an altitude to the POI on Movescount web page.

I’ve got exactly the same problem about 1.5 years ago. I still use the watch as is.

@ivansalas Also, if it looks like you’re setting off without a good fix, attach the watch to the top/shoulder strap of a rucksack (if anyone’s got one) with its face getting as much sky as possible on the ascent. That both improves the watch antenna-satellite geometry vs swinging by your side AND means it will be harder for you to get annoyed at seeing the wrong altitude every time you glance at your wrist.

Re-don the watch when you notice it’s getting things right or when your friends get fed up with your checking.
