look and enjoy… you can upload one or two activities for test or do a history import

[nseslija]

@TELE-HO @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos did a great job… I can also recommend https://runalyze.com/dashboard, great free tool…

crazy what a smart guy who is interested can do… in his freetime… between sports, work and family

Totally agree. It really embarrasses other commercial efforts…

What the heck, QS even has a dark mode available for you to choose. Hats off to @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos !

@nseslija
at the moment I have a rather inactive time… but I think I will work with Strava/Elevation and QS.
In QS I miss the comparison between years or month (or I did not find them yet) and the activity description… and maybe selection in the graph to show parameters applicable for the selection
all other values that I like are there

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@TELE-HO just use all (on the search) you will get a sort by years to compare.

The above are fake data dont get excited

[freeheeler]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
nice!! I’ll try that, thank you!
so far my history did not get imported, maybe I did something wrong, it’s still dating back to 13.Jan 2018, nothing before… but I guess it can take some time, right?

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
alright, and select date type, of course

now it’s correct… sorry, I’ve still had one comparing activity in QS from my A3PS.
I noticed that merged activities don’t add more meters to the summary which is a great solution! Either you just want to compare or you want to merge because you want to see several activities within one view.
I could recommend that to my sister in law who cycled all the way from Switzerland to the Black Sea thru Greece and Italy back home…

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@TELE-HO there is even a setting if you want the merges to count towards.
In QS an “event” consists from many activities.
If you have merged 2 activities that event is a merge.

But it could have been a multisport and that would have counted correctly.

You can edit a merged event and remove the “merge” flag and it will count.

FYI

@TELE-HO thx!!

[jw cou]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos is there a way to filter by activity type (e.g only see the elevation per year for running)?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@jean-william-cousin that is a superb suggestion and a little work is being made already.

I will be moving a search/activity selection on the date search there, should come with the v5 version as it aint so easy.

So basically you want:

a) Create the daterange / grouping
b) Get the stats
c) filter on sport, or keyword

[jw cou]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos yes sir. And a pizza Regina with extra cheese please

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@jean-william-cousin Soon to come now building stackable charts

[fejker]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos this should be the Suunto WEB-end. I like it a lot and would be prepared to pay for the service.

… my wife will kill me…
this QS is getting improved at a nice pace and into the right direction excellent!!

[andrasveres]

I don’t get it. Why Suunto can’t just make a desktop/mobile companion application for all of it’s watches that simply will be used for: (1) managing watch features/settings and (2) synchronize exercises to 3rd party web services? No cost of maintaining a web service and they could focus on product (hardware and software) improvements.

[314BMI]

So moveslink2 devices are going to be supported and moveslink not.
That’s a pity for my old, good Quest

[Adam Lantos]

Honestly it’s a shame. For example, my A3P is now stuck in daylight savings mode, including sunrise/sunset time. Suunto App doesn’t synchronize time, and even getting GPS lock on the watch doesn’t update the time for some reason, even with GPS timekeeping on. Small things like that spoils the whole experience of owning a top of a range adventure watch.

Not to mention I’ve upgraded from A1 to A3P specifically to get BT sync, since I don’t have windows/mac on hand on a regular basis. So killing the mobile app basically rendered my A3P useless for hiking.

[freeheeler]

@Adam-Lantos
did they clearly state that A3PS can not be synced to SA at all? Or was the whole cable and “new MC” thing a generalization for ambit?

[Adam Lantos]

@TELE-HO SA works well for downloading activities, in fact, it’s better than MC. But not being able to upload a route to the watch is a deal breaker, and renders half of the watch functionality useless. Ambit1/2 users won’t lose any functionality yet, but A3 users.do.

The point is that A3P is marketed as an outdoor/adventurer watch, and claiming that it has mobile connectivity (via SA) is seriously misleading, when one can’t customize the watch, use custom apps, or upload routes to it without a desktop computer at all.

I’m happy using any third party or open source solutions, and I hope Suunto come to their senses and make the sync protocol documentation or even MC client source code public, so dedicated people can fix this mess.

(I also suspect that the reason they are pulling the app is due to some sort of licensing/copyright issue, no sane company would just delete the only app that enables connectivity to one of their best products. But I digress.)

[freeheeler]

@Adam-Lantos
my feeling is that it is not yet possible to update these things for ambit3…
ambit3 is too new to be pushed aside in my opinion.

@TELE-HO "gently convince customers to upgrade"
Suunto’s problem lately is the change of mentality to a Silicon Valley greed type. This used to be a brand for the hardcore divers and sport enthusiats with gear that lasts and stable, full of features/data software. Since the launch of Spartan the decline is evident with flimsy devices and now even the software shrinked in order to save some money for the shareholders.
So you’re telling me that after I spent one grand on a DX I need now to upgrade to have my dives on a public platform where I can share it with friends and the comunity in general? And after I spent another £600 on a Spartan I need to use some 3rd party website to build a route and then transfer it into the SA?
Suunto doesn’t realize that there is fierce competition out there and if I feel attached of my DX, I don’t feel the same about the disappointing Spartan at all and I’ll ditch it for a Polar as soon as the MC webservice will cease to exist in the shape it’s now
