looks like for the future you need to carry the laptop and cable for simple and small sportmode adaptions.

I really don’t understand why should movescount web exist at all if users need a cable to sync everything?! Just make an offline app and get over with it. It’s schizophrenic situation. We have watches that were designed to be “connected” meaning to use Bluetooth and mobile phone for syncing moves and settings and now they are gradually removing those “connections”.

There is no technical reason why syncing of settings should be done only with cable in the future (for a3p). It’s purely suunto’s unethical decision to disable this core function of the watch. It used to have it, newer watches have it, but only a3p is going to lose it.

We still have movescount app, which works, so they actually don’t really have much to do. Just let us use it in the future. Or at least enable sync of everything through suunto app. But to remove the syncing of settings through mobile phone all together is unethical and bad business practice.

it’s like you buy a TV and after some time they disable your remote… you can still watch TV but you have to stand up from your comfy place to change channels and adjust volume

@TELE-HO exactly!

@TELE-HO Far from optimal and not exactly as advertised originally, isn’t it? I would be pissed by that.

@TELE-HO That’s still online? Oops. Opportunity missed, Suunto. There’s all that space after the word “App” to put “(Withdrawn)”, “(Discontinued)” or, possibly “(If You Can Find It)”.

Android users can run MC web in the mobile using desktop mode and sync all.

@Oktan but at the end you need to connect cable to upload new setting made in browser to watch.

Android users can still use MCapp, the apk is somewhere and the app still work as usual.
How long is the question, but for now it works.

Yes, still. Until suunto disables movescount app completely, as promised. At the same time, they only commited themselves to keep cable sync. Not a single word on keeping mobile sync for settings in any form.

The way they are handling this transition is really a good case study material for a lesson how not communicate with your customers. Total communication disaster.

You can install the MC app APK, sync the settings and all is good
