When I first came to trail running, I was on the Ambit 3 / Movescount system and 4 of my buddies were using the Ambit 3 as well. Now, most of them are already deciding to switch to Coros as it’s price point and feature set (along with a push from the local distributor) is making a strong case. I meanwhile on the other hand, is still using the Suunto 9. Most of them have had some issues trying the App and aren’t too convinced with the feature set of the 9, which is a bit of a shame.

While I’m probably less dependant on the features for my use case, I think if it’s not on par with what the market is asking, then It’s probably not going to gain new customers, or in this case, lose existing customers. I do hope Suunto gets more developers on board to move the development of the app quicker and get newer products which are on par feature-wise with its competitors. I still think Suunto still makes the best hardware among the lot.

I often read people leave Suunto for Garmin, but Garmin (or any brand for that matter) isn’t flawless either. The Fenix5 Plus for example often has horrible GPS, especially in open water and it’s about 100 / 200 bucks more than the Suunto 9.

The price is similar.

@auxina
it’s only about the question if you prefer US or EU companies…
…and if you can live without web interface!

@TELE-HO

True.
I want to clarify it because sometimes it compares with the S9 version not baro.
I would like to have a web interface. I currently use Runalyze, QS and Final Surge, but I would prefer Suunto to have one.

Ah, Europe, always Europe!

@auxina
I really also would like to see SW (Suunto Web)… QS is pretty nice to survive in case SW will never come.

…telemark bindings are better from the US I think …the Norwegians are the patent holders but the US design is better… off topic off, again

I see I compared the Suunto 9 without the barometer with the 5/5s/5plus and that de 5 series has a barometer. However the regular S9 is € 280 here, while the 5plus is almost twice as mutch. Apples and oranges I know. I just compared the G5 and the S9 (and went for the S9 last week). I didn’t notice the barometer difference since I don’t attach any value to it. My bad.

And Structured Intervals also…

Hehe, I have few friends with Garmin and they use probably 10% features of their watches (activity measuring, time, notifications from mobile). I have S9 and I’m probably using 80 - 90% features of my S9.
So, this is very strange ratio price / power

For me, My S9 is a great piece of HW but

I miss him waypoints/POI. I know it’s on the way…

and more adjustable intervals. The actual intervals timer is good with its screens but a little more configured will be great.

So you are using 80-90% of the features on the S9 … activity measuring, time, notifications from mobile.

5plus es casi el doble de mordisco. Manzanas y naranjas, lo sé. Acabo de comparar el G5 y el S

Good buy.
Enjoy!

@fejker Seriously, I´m using Suunto 9 24/7. I take them off only to charge. I´m measuring everything what they can. I´am also using sunset info, thunderstorm alarm, height, compass, navigation, 24/7 HR, steps, calories, sleep, first beat features… allmost everything
I do not understand why someone buys an expensive Garmin with tons of features and only uses activity tracking, notifications and time…

@Václav-Král
because an expensive multisport watch makes almost everyone look like an athlete

@solid_dd what? I thought after a certain price point training is not necessary anymore, you just sit and see the stats improve

Re: [Goodbye Suunto](hello Garmin)
Hi there,
for many years i was fan of Suunto and recommend it many times. I’m also owner of M5, Ambit 1, Spartan Ultra. I bought M3 for my girlfriend, Ambit2 for my brother.
Even when i was very unhappy about shutting down of Movescount, i still believed in better future. The last time (4 months ago) i recommended Suunto 9 to my sparing partner. Now it’s all over.
Suunto App is useless, Movescount is shutted down, all older watches (i was still using Ambit for some activities) doesn’t work with supermega Suunto App (correct me if wrong).
Yesterday i ordered Garmin Fenix 6X. Even i was never fan of Garmin, if i compare functions inside watches (solar charging, nfc, music) and website (for data analysis, planning) i have to say, Garmin is far in front of Suunto now.
Now i regret that i bought Spartan Ultra last year instead of Garmin Fenix5… I wanted to stay with the same platform, it shows as a mistake.
Is there a way, how i can export all my activites from Suunto for usage in any other 3d party solution for data analysis? Can you suggest something?
Thank you very much in advance and, sadly, goodbay.

Hi, even if I reply to an old topic, it is today the 8th of May and Suunto App is still a sh*t. I am an early bird of the Suunto Spartan Ultra watch (paid dear and naughty) but I have always been very happy of its accuracy and hardware features.
I used movescount during years despite few bugs and un-enhanced features.

Now, seeing suunto put all the efforts to the hardware and nothing (really nothing valid) in software made me taking now the decision to turn to the Garmin side as well.
