@lohtse
Guys I’m totally new to this forum so would appreciate some clarification. I have been an Ambit3 Sport user for some Time now and love the watch. I synced via Movescount And then collected all my training into Training Peaks. Very happy customer !
Now I tried SuuntoApp and have
a) no data from my vector3 power pedals (it’s definitely still stored on the watch but not synced to the App and so I don’t get it in Training Peaks
b) my swim data used to keep only moving time in Movescount. Now with SuuntoApp it’s total time only. This means all the TSS calls in Training Peaks are worthless.

Are these issues known or am I doing something stupid ?
Will a newer Suunto watch solve these issues ?
Should I just change to Polar and forget Suunto (not because of the watch but because of SuuntoApp)?

welcome

Sadly you are not being stupid…Suunto does not sseem to think ambit owners need that data anylonger try using https://quantified-self.io/

now idea about newer watch.,… but then you should not have to change when it worked perfectly before Suunto screwed us…

This is known and a fix is being worked on according to @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos - I haven’t seen an ETA for the fix.

Not sure about the swimming one; although that will be a real nuisance for me since at least with power I can use the files from my cycling head unit (messy workflow but better than nothing…)

Interestingly Movescount App worked all day for me yesterday and is still working today - I don’t plan on switching until either Movescount App refuses to work or the power (and now swimming…) bugs are fixed.

@amasidlover Hoping that they definitively forgot to turn off the MC App server side, as they forgot to turn off movescount study and as they forgot old customer care
As this I love the digital transition

@Janfi apparently the transition will be longer, and they are not shutting down everything yesterday as planned.

@isazi ah you broke my heart if it’s only longer…

@Janfi someone said 2021 at least. More news coming at the end of the week. Search the forum for more discussion, but some discussion may break your heart.

Both the App and MovesCount habe been worth due to the transition:

I cannot see the Moves on MC anymore, but just plan a route, et set the watch parameter.
The App makes it impossible to set the watch parameters, to download a GPS track, to modify the GPS points, …
The App shows very strange HR-Profiles, like a crazy saw, what was not the case on MovesCount.
The App calculates the run distance new, after the upload of the track: 10,0 km on the watch, 9,71 on the App. It makes me crazy.

It would really stay only on MovesCount, with all the functions and possibility it offered ! And with the easyness on PC, compared to a Smartphone display…

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@Bruno-Jacq are you using iOS ? I think there is a bug when editing an activity that it changes the distance… can this be it ?

Why you don’t? You still can.
Install movescount app, moveslink, and suunto app.
Sync with movescount app or moveslink and then if you want your moves on suunto app sync with suunto app.
If you don’t want to have two apps, you can use rungapp.

Bruno Jacq

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I thought, that the App uses the tracks of the maps to adjust the distance. Could it be? If not, then I have a bug…

Bruno Jacq

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I use Android 10.
Thanks.

@André-Faria I couldn’t do anything with MovesCount anymore. No upload from the watch anymore. So I changed to the SUUNTO App. I upload the GPS tracks from the watch via the SUUNTO interface on PC SuuntoLink, and can only see the moves on the App. The Movescount account is just frozen since move nr. 400 on 20 of June 2020.
But the watch parameters are only available on Movescount… I have no access to the watch parameters on the SUUNTO App. Is it normal?
Thanks.

Strange, I made the switch to SA, but since I didn’t enjoyed it, I continue to use moves count normally, via moves link or even moves count app on iOS.
Everything works fine.
Even found out that you can sync with moves count app and Suunto app on same phone, seamlessly.
And recently you don’t even need to do that, rungap does it for you.
It is normal that you don’t have access of watch settings on Suunto app.
Maybe this video help to understand how new workflow is done:

still, till now you are not obliged to use it.

@André-Faria : Thanks a lot ! But I don’t find the App rungap. Do you have an advice for me? Renamed as “SyncMyTracks” maybe?

Movescount works and works almost perfectly for mosts of us and fits are needs… Suunto App DOES NOT COME CLOSE to meeting the needs and functionality of movescount…

exactly!
