      @André-Faria will still be working friend in 2021 from what I understand. Once it’s validated I’ll post here as well maybe before suunto posts this online.

      This is great news!
      Suunto devs: just wait till new android versions won’t let you run MC App and iOS users change phone!
      Then…we ambit users (which will still be 100% functional) will need to dig the cable!
      But that time new suuntos will have structured workouts, pois, bla bla bla and maybe…we upgrade!

        @lohtse Seduced by younger, fresher code. You have only yourself* to blame.

        *Well, OK, maybe you were spurred on a little.

        LOL And let down by the younger one…

          @lohtse I think so too

          think so too???

          I mean it should sync pois etc via the mc app. No cable needed atm (like what you tested ).

          Except if you used the suunto app 😂

          Not for me…No Pois syncing over via mc app

          Actually I am incorrect they have sync now with MC app phew

            I don’t want to say the same thing again and again, the point is that Suunto decided to not respect their customers and clearly it was a DECISION, not something technical which could not be overcome.

            While this can be true it can also not be 😉 there are also other limitation.

            There are no technical/objective limitations that can’t be overcome, only subjective limitations (cost cut, marketing etc), so yes it’s true, I guess I bought a watch from a company that became a bakaliko 😜.

                            “we have lost data sync for ALL things” - that’s not true, I can sync everything (routes, AGPS, sportmodes) with my Ambits by cable and workouts by bluetooth. Only things lost are mini-apps (I’m not using, and sure there are mostly people like me) and workout planning (Not using, as well).

                            @pavel-samokha Not sure about that. It is not because you don’t use mini apps that other people don’t use them. Just look at the Suunto app zone (http://www.movescount.com/apps#sorting=5), there are new apps almost every day! The community is very active in this section of movescount.com, there are so much possibilities with those custom apps. It is a very good way to add features to AMBIT/TRAVERSE watches.

                                    Started with the Ambit 1, as fit my needs then A2 came and had mini apps and other improvements so I took the plunge…When the A3 came out I needed clean underwear and a box of tissues…Just had to have it… The Ambits have always fit my needs perfectly and as yet no other Suunto watch or other brands has come close to being as good for me… Even had several Android wear watches(sony smartwatch 3 etc) due my time with Ambits but they just wasn’t as good and never felt they could handle the punishment I would give them.

                                    Had tried several other brands before the ambit… And just before the Ambit I was using a Suunto Vector(still works and in the draw) just hard to beat The Ambits…I have tried using a stick, axe, explosives just won’t die lol…PERFECT WATCH.

                                      I actually wish I’d gone with the A3P rather than SU as I never use the touch screen and actually find it annoying that a number of the useful screens such as temp need you to swipe right as they aren’t available on the buttons alone! If POI’s do arrive as promised before MC becomes dead then the SU has a stay of execution but I think that ultimately the Garmin Instinct Solar looks to be the closest watch currently available to what I want.

                                        @sebchastang while I agree that extensibility is important (that what I don’t like about Polar or Coros) but I also checked on Apps today, just with different sorting http://www.movescount.com/apps#sorting=6 - and it says that the most popular app has only 336 likes. It’s over all lifetime of the apps, of course it’s inconclusive data, but I think it’s safe to say that out of hundreds of thousands Ambit users only a fraction are using Apps extensively. So I think from business standpoint I see it’s quite clear why it’s not prioritized.

                                            Okay, sorry, it’s a tap (on a tiny 2.5mm radius icon) rather than a swipe. But still, temperature is not available with buttons, you need to use the screen. And with gloves that’s not practical.
