Why are Suunto peddling Movescount in online marketing?

[Golem]

Glass half full:
Well, as long as SA accepts data from my Suunto9 via BT and can be linked via API to other services to sync with them, without any further hustle…at least it’s catalysing and promoting some nice work in open source and free market^^
(as i recently discovered)

The other half:
The MC marketing thing is a problem though.
Isn’t this almost intentionally false marketing? (EDIT: for his case)

@Golem
I don’t think so, because what I’ve seen is that MC is never mentioned on S-line products.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@TELE-HO S lines have no reference to movescount.

I am not sure @Golem what MC will become for Ambits but its going to evolve for them and there will be a roadmap

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@TELE-HO for the record the S9 was initially not enabled for MC , we later on enabled it

[freeheeler]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
that is what I assumed

There does seem to be a lag when it comes to keeping website marketing language up to date. Movescount.com’s home page still says, “Suunto Movescount is a growing sports community . . .” front and center nearly a year after its phasing out was announced.

@ianshowalter The statement may be technically correct. MC-capable devices are still being sold and many folk like a big screen. The cliff edge may be crowded.

No real Spartan ever wore trousers like some Scots
