Ambit 2 Suuntolink - Movescount
-
@Jose_Quiles
could it be that Moveslink2 have the drivers for Ambit and not Suuntolink (yet ? ) ?
Eventually resintall moveslink2 and see. -
Hi, thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately, Moveslink 2 also doesn’t recognize the watch anymore neither
So it seems more like a general connection issue (?!) rather than app specific. I’ve tested the USB ports, they seem to work with other hardware: mouse, external drive.
Watch also charges when connected.

@Jose_Quiles any chance you know someone with another cable so you can be sure your it’s not broken?

@Jose_Quiles I am on the same version of Mac Catalina. Perhaps I can help, although I have an Ambit3Peak not A2. Is Moveslink still installed or running on your computer? Double check to make sure. In Suuntolink Settings are you still connected to Movescount? I would forget this setting. If none of that works, try reinstalling Suuntolink again. Mine did work the first time I tried.

Saturday I ran, connected my Ambit to the PC, synchronized with Moveslink 2, close the programm, than synchronized with Suuntolink.
Suuntolink does not show the VO2 and EPOC in the app, while Moveslink does show this!
I start to wonder what the added value of Suuntolink is … -
@IwanBass
it is not intended to add any value, except that Movescount will be “closed” for activity repository --> Suuntolink has been changed to handle Ambits, AND to sync with SuuntoApp.But agree with you, data must not be lost.
-
Okay, thanks for the quick and clear answer.
I’m going to save for a Spartan wrist, because I like it very much. But I would like to know for sure whether Suuntolink shows the EPOC and VO2, can you confirm this?
-
@IwanBass wheat we can see is that Suunto App and Ambits are not best friends, yet. I really hope they’ll get better support, but SA is still a work in progress. I like it, and see how it’s improving, but I rely on 3rd party services for all analysis.

I read on this forum that there have been no updates of the Spartan since last year, I do not want to invest a lot of money in a watch that, like Ambit, can no longer be updated. Obviously Suunto wants 5 - 7 - 9 after everything I read. There may be a new version of the 9, but unfortunately no one provides clarity about that.
- I think it is a big flaw that there is only an app and no PC program.
- My Suunto ant heart rate belt also no longer works with the new watches.
Before I make a big investment, I did some research last week. A colleague has a Garmin; I have been studying that in the past week. This does have a PC program. The data is also very extensive (which I always thought Suunto was at the forefront of this). I was pleasantly surprised at the functionalities.
I was really satisfied with my Ambit 2, I really like the Spartan and Suunto 9, but I am still disappointed in the software, especially now that Movescout disappears, which I was also very satisfied with. Who knows, maybe I’ll come back to Suunto later, but at the moment Garmin is my preference.

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