So, what are you going to do after Movescount closes?

If SA were compatible with A3P for that purpose, that would be the perfect scenario.
Not gonna happen. Unfortunately. They decided that A3P users need to be pushed somehow to upgrade.

@Prenj That’s actualy untrue! I’ve changed from Garmin to Suunto, because of recent Garmin hack. Their watches really heavy on cloud services.

Sorry to say, but most features on Garmins don’t relly on cloud.
You can almost do everything without internet or cellphone on garmin devices.
Not the case with ambits. -
@André-Faria Right, Garmin devices can be accessed as generic USB storage, then activity FIT can be copied directly from device, route FIT or GPX files can be copied directly to device, etc. All configuration changes can be made directly on watch. So in theory a Garmin watch can be used without ever connecting to Garmin Connect.
-
@André-Faria let’s both agree to disagree. To be more accurate - I had vivoactive 4 and it can hold up to 10 trainings. TRUE that all measurements where done by watch, but I was not able to upload those to my phone since this relays on cloud.
To conclude - they do stuff in device, but whole architecture of app and ecosystem relays on cloud
I think now it is more clear on what is done in device since your argument is valid, just wasn’t sure if this is what you where looking for.
-
@sky-runner fair enough - I lent whole architecture of Harmon, but year this is true.

Ok, didn’t know about that limitation. You are not able to connect to computer and remove them? I own the edge 530 , bought during the outage and could do everything, even updating firmware. Didn’t need Garmin connect/cloud services at all.
-
@André-Faria I think it is still possible, and 10 trending a is just system limitation as it has internal 4Gb memory - they want you to buy higher end model
That their right. -
@Paweł-Ładna - there were quite a few people who ran into this limitation during the outage.and lost tracked activity due to this.
but again not a complete reason not to buy something. Sometimes these things happen…

Carlos Soria is a Spanish climber 81 years old. He has climbed thirteen of the 14 mountains over 8.000 meters. And he is training for his next summit (Dhaulagiri). You can see the watch he uses in the video in this piece of news. At a certain moment it can be very clearly seen on his left wrist while biking. What will he do after Movescount closes? We could ask him
More seriously, lots of admiration to his career and how he is facing this challenge.

The full closing of Movescount will be postponed a few times more until this guy is not climbing anymore

Hope so!

ESTABLISHING SHOT: Hilltop, golden hour. Soria stands by his bicycle, broom handle resting against the crossbar. Frame cuts off height of white column behind and off to one side.
CLOSE UP: Soria’s left wrist rotates from framed view of SUUNTO S9B to hand holding SMARTPHONE [Brand TBA] SCREEN.
FX: SUUNTO APP loads.
Soria V/O [Trans into Spanish]: How do I get a [BEEP] POI onto this [BEEP] thing?
PULL BACK TO WIDE SHOT: showing Soria, bicycle, broom handle … and REVEALING white column as base of slowly turning wind turbine.

Sure. I’ve known octogenarians who want to hike to new places, requiring carefully planned routes for dodgy hips, knees, etc. And stubborn codgers who will go their own way via their own off-track waypoints, dammit, and stop treating them like 90-year olds.
Also ones who have forgotten where they’ve been and get to do things again as new.

@Fenr1r I dont treat anyone as old. But as of experience
/ Technique / Dependence to equipement.At least I hope at 81 I have stopped bothering. till 70 debatable

That’s where the adventure of new places and the aide memoire of a GPS watch come together. If you’ve never been somewhere before (in your 80+ years), decades of technique and experience only get you so far, geolocation-wise, especially if visibility is crappy and your internal step-memory iffy.
Plus, some folks, no matter how old, like gadgets. I’m sure you’ll have something on your wrist, on your eyeballs or hovering by your side as you run over a mountain at 81.

@Fenr1r oh lord … Ok ok I take it back
It makes indeed sense the way you say it -
@Fenr1r One of the most amazing statements in the interview is that he says that part of the idea of their activities now is telling people that they do not need to stop doing certain things just because of your age. So, in the end, why not exploring new places where you have not ever been?
POIs there and then will be unvaluable
