@lohtse
but it seems to start to be discontinued…
I have my watch, so I don’t have to worry… but it’s sad that Suunto gives up their best watch ever

@TELE-HO how do I post pics here? Had an interesting message from support

@TELE-HO I thought Ambit2 is the best: it has ANT+ and is capable to get pace AND power from Stryd the same time

doesn’t the Ambit 3 do that too?

@lohtse nope, this seems to be an issue with the BT connection or somewhere related to that. I have tis statement verified from Stryd directly:

Hi Johann,

Great question and I apologize if our article is still not clear!

Most Ambit 3 watches can show Stryd power. The exception is Ambit Run 3 because is does not have the ability to pair with a power pod (note that Suunto does not distinguish between a bike or run power meter). No Ambit 3 watch can show Stryd power and also get pace/distance from Stryd (unless you have two Stryds)

So if you see power (connected as power pod, I assume), pace/cadence/distance is from GPS. And here the updated support page on behalf of my questions: https://support.stryd.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026388734-Do-the-Suunto-Ambit-2-and-Ambit-3-and-other-Suunto-watches-work-differently

you can upload local stored or copy paste screenshots by this little “hard disk” sign with arrow upwards…

@TELE-HO its only the set with heartbelt.
You can only see that because of the cache. If you come to the side, you can choose the watch only. noooooo R.I.P. (meanwhile)

Hi,

I bought Ambit3 Peak this week and I’m little bit confused.

If functionality of my watch will be limited by new suunto app, can I return it in terms of guarantee (2 years from now)?

Regards,
Michal.

@Michal-Zawitowski
keep it and use MC until SA is ready

@Michal-Zawitowski
in this case I could suggest you return your ambit3 and buy a suunto 9…

freeheeler

@zhang965
S9 baro… if he’s rich this could be an option… no waiting, no uncertainties… and… again, NO waiting!

zhang965

@TELE-HO

What do you mean by no waiting?

of course 9b users are still waiting as well, we are just waiting with a different attitude than ambit users

freeheeler

@zhang965
for different features you mean?
…and Ambit users are waiting for the big IF question

Reading forums and opinions about s9 I think it has more issues than ambit3peak.
Firmware/software for s9 is still in ‘development mode’, but watch is already available.
In case of ambit3peak, Im only worry are about new app.

@Michal-Zawitowski
the ambit has the issue that we don’t know where the SA integeation is heading to. i still believe it will be supported by SA but then there is no web interface…
the S9 is the new flagship and for me it would be a brilliant watch that will improve softwarewize in the next couple of months. for me it was too expensive and had too many functions i don’t need, like color touch screen etc.

So. Any news concerning porting Suunto Apps (the little programs we currently can download from movescout) and/or enabling us to modify the displays of the training programs to the Android app, or at least a stand alone application to mofify the watch at home?

Or are we - just like I mentioned in an older email - just being fucked by the company and left in the rain, after spending several hundred euros on a watch which will be crippled soon?

As I already mentioned earlier: If the second case applies, I already can happily announce that I will do whatever is possible to push people to buy Garmin products instead as long as I can type on a computer.

You are welcome o/

@Alexander-Beck
i agree mostly…
but garmin also has compromises and my experience with customer service: basically inexistent… but yes, garmin is huge!

I suspect we will just be F*****ED over

@Niall-Oswald I am also facing this problem with my Ambit 3 Peak. I have tried it time and again but to no avail. I am left with no option but to stay with Movescount. Suunto must do something. This is very unfair and annoying.
