@TELE-HO yeah, I’m sure they are hard at work. I think this is more a symptom of modern software development and the “easy come, easy go, I need it now” way of life these days. I personally appreciate craftsmanship, well thought out executed software and features, and less features that are high quality and targeted. The same goes for bikes for me. I’ll spend way more money getting a locally sourced, hand made bike, where I can actually talked to the people making it and I know they care about every frame that leaves their shop. I know I’m in the minority, and honestly, I’ll be leaving the software industry soon over it. These days, it’s all about “what can we get out in a 2 week sprint”. Quality, testing, and customer engagement be damned. That blame has to be shared by consumers though. We demand features now!!

Just to write that you have my vote for your latest post.
Nothing to add and don’t want to add anything else.

@Alexander-Beck are you threatening us?
I don’t know if a single user can be a “threat” to a company of that size. But if you consider “negative feedback in public space” as a threat: hell yes, I will publish negative feedback, and the reason stays the same.
Without the features the web page offers being ported to the mobile app, you are crippling my property. I still miss essential features the Ambit 3 currently is offering, and I don’t see any updates from Suunto concerning this issues (despite 5 months since my last comment here):
-
upload of programs to add more functionalities. Example: the GPS display in Swiss coordinates. without the watch cannot be used with any Swiss map and also provides no real help in emergency situations.
-
changes and rearrangements in the displayed data in training modes plus adjusting the GPS parameters. Especially the GPS parameters are critical. If the watch runs out of battery because GPS is draining too much power, the watch is unusable. And yes, there is a difference in 100h vs. 10h max runtime. And yes, adjusting the displayed data is also essential.
-
Adding/removing training modes.
Your opinion might be different, but I see it as critical loss in the reputation of a company if they decide to drop essential features of a watch which costs 300 Euros or more, and for me it will be my last Suunto in that case (plus the negative feedback you will get in future, plus a watch sent back because of the statement “Satisfied or your money back” on the HP).
Thx,

@zhang965
only when a wish is fulfilled… the next comes… and the next…
ambit users rest on their one wish and while they wait they become unambitious, that’s good for suunto

dimitrios said in another thread we’ll have an update in october… let’s seeIf the Ambit3 finally gets support, I will stop warning others that they should think twice if they want to buy a watch which is officially listed on the web page of the company (and not a long time discontinued one) but has a high chance of having its functionalities crippled. I wouldn’t care if we would talk about 50 bucks only, but this is not the case for a product with this price tag and no statement of the company of discontinuing it.
And based on what I have seen on reddit, I am not the only concerned customer who don’t like the approach:

only when a wish is fulfilled… the next comes… and the next…There is a clear difference in having a wish fulfilled or having existing functionalities removed from a product. We are talking about the second one here. The watch offers the functionalities, the current software solution also does, the new one doesn’t.
I don’t want new features, I just want the existing ones.

Just like healthy men has thousand wishes and sick ones only one…so the Spartan and S5,9 users have thousand wishes and Ambit ones only one
…myself being an exception…for my S9B I wish only POI/Waypoints and structured intervals -
