I have a provocatory proposal,
if they think that turning on the SA function to upload routes on the Ambit3 family, is not convenient for their politics, why at least didn’t they give this option as a Paid function…
IMHO it’s a better way to squeese out some extra money from some disapponted customers that otherwise are only lost customers…I think this would send bad message to the customers, especially new customers. That could be understood as an announcement what will happen to the newer products as well. I doubt they would be happy to know that their expensive new watch will lose features after some time unless they pay more…
It would only be fair if they start with the practice of supporting their hardware for a some time (2-3 years?) and charge for some of the features afterwards, with new, still unreleased products. But still I highly doubt this will attract anyone.
So yes, there are people that love suunto watches so much that would even pay to continue using they as they used to, but I’m pretty sure suunto would not do it as it would probably negatively affect their image…
But, I’d be, on the other hand, interested in some kind of suunto leasing, offering always the newest product for a fixed monthly price. That could include an option of fast replacement of broken/damaged product no question asked…
I agree with you on the perception. But ambits never synced routes via app.

@andré-faria
What do you mean? Ambit3 did sync everything through the app, a2 and original ambit of course did not have bluetooth. -
@andré-faria , I’m having a deja vu moment here

- https://forum.suunto.com/topic/5677/suuntolink-not-working/7?_=1613152933736Yes I thought of that when I wrote, but for me syncing routes via app means you have the routes there and made it sync, not going to a website, upload it and then going to the app to sync it

Yeah, but it was a pretty neat stuff, just think of: you went to a trip without your laptop, you asked your host PC access, made (create/import) the route you wanted then sync through mobile app without installing any software (MovesLink2) on your hosts PC.

@theguyfromthesummit I agree, Suunto killed my Ambit 3 peak.
I don’t have any smartphone, and don’t want one.
I can’t use my A3P anymore. -
@philippe-makowski you can use your A3P without smartphone. What you need is Suunto App account which you can create once, then you can can perfectly use your A3P without smartphone.

But how? If Movescount goes off?
-

nope you need the app to create a account :
"You can only Log in with an already created Suunto app account (see above). You cannot create a new account in SuuntoLink. " https://www.suunto.com/Support/faq-articles/transition/how-do-i-use-the-suunto-services-with-ambit3/
I don’t have any smartphone. -
@philippe-makowski you can ask any friend or relative to help you, just setup Suunto App on their smartphone, create an account, setup connection with third-party services and then delete Suunto App from their smartphone. That’s it. I think can be in 15 minutes.
If you don’t have anyone with smartphone nearby - I think you can contact support and ask them to create an account for you.

-
@pavel-samokha and still no GNU/Linux version of SuuntoLink ?
-
@philippe-makowski unfortunately GNU/Linux usage share on desktops is so small that even larger companies cannot afford supporting apps for it
-
@pavel-samokha no I can’t, I can’t get traks and I can’t put route in it.
The last update only allow to work on settings and sport modes. -
@philippe-makowski you can achieve that by using third-party services connected to Suunto App
Komoot, for example

There’s this small problem when trying to operate without Suunto App - for new routes imported through 3rd party services like Komoot & Runalyze, the SA “Use in watch” setting is off by default
-
@margusl true, then I’m wrong regarding routes, will discuss that
As for tracks - philippe can perfectly get them via third-party tools
