      I just heard the news about the end of movescount in 2020, leaving me with no alternative to use my suunto watch.
      I quit smartphone one year ago and i wont come back. No.

      So, beside the drop of support for old watches, what about the new watches becomming useless without the help of a smartphone ?

        It would be my guess that you will be out of luck. Smart phones are so prolific now that I’m betting that those that have a Suunto watch and that don’t have a smart phone of some sort are so far in the minority that it’s not worth the time and effort at this point.

          You can cheat. You can use the SML files for Suuntolink / moveslink to upload to some service. That I am not sure who posted this in the forum but I think it was either @sartoric or @Mff73 (not sure). Maybe they can help.

              What is worth or not is up to the operator.
              Taking care of man kind and earth is not worth in a buisness percpective but it’s totally worth in a altruistic percperctive 🙂

              Thanks for the trick. I will try to find a way and share it.

                For Android, there is an alternative for old watches, with openambit projet.
                Application is ambit connect.
                But you need à smartphone 😉

                With only à computer, assuming that Moveslink or suuntolink will still export moves into local storage (sml or json or…) there is already some soft that can import them (ex sporttracks) , so I guess there won’t be watches without export solutions.
                Best will be Suunto to provide tools just to export files in common format, or give protocoles for developpers to do it 😁

                  I meant what it’s worth for Suunto to support with such a minuscule demographic.

                    I live in an area where phone coverage is so poor it would be pointless me having a smartphone. I want to be able to sync my watch via a PC. I just bought the thing and already it seems it’s obsolete! Poor…

                          @ColdBeer What do you mean? The json that strava exprots if recorded with the app?

                            Exactly

                            var Watch="Garmin Forerunner 735XT", WatchFw="9.40";
                            var Phone="Samsung Galaxy S8", PhoneOS="Android 9.0.0";
