@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I’m sorry if you read “you” pronoun regarding yourself. It is a so-called impersonate you = one.
I understand you are a smart guy, but this is maybe second or even third time we don’t understand each other… I’m sorry if you took it personally.

The truth is that I’m absolutely sure Amer Sports replaced the whole engineering team after they had bought Suunto Oy and I’m absolutely sure the new team sucks. It cannot fix the bugs reported by me and other people because it doesn’t consider them as bugs. It cannot create an application even at the same level, the Suunto App is far worse than Movescount.

Are you inside suunto or know the insights to tell that?
Just because you and other submited bugs, doesn’t mean they can be solved immediatelly.
Like in any other industry, there are other things with more priority and other constraints.
Do any of the people here think anyone in any organization will want to a shitty job or not solve clients problems??
It is all about means/priorities/necessity/turnover.
For sure anything related to suunto 9/5/3 will be priority compared to olders models…older models won’t generate turnover (on ambit 3 in fact it will). But won’t give acess to the newer experience to the customer…
Of course there is old costumer engagemente…but between new market to conquer and old costumers already conquered…new is more interesting.

@André-Faria man, the bugs (in Suunto 9 which was new and topmost one year ago) were reported one year ago. After that, I received a feedback, they promised to fix them “maybe some time in the future”. The future is not here, though…

Thanks for being here to relay our comments to Suunto, I guess you share at least some of the frustrations expressed here, so please don’t feel personally demoralised by the nature of the discussion.

Sorry that I was vague about a ‘tolerable decline in functionality’ in Movescount. Specifically, I was thinking of the loss of route videos following a run. I really enjoyed that feature for a month or two after I bought the watch, before it disappeared. Then later, when planning routes for runs, the altitude gains disappeared and we were left just with the overall distance. Unfortunate, but as I say, tolerable, for me at least, whilst the Movescount interface remains so pleasant to use and aesthetically pleasing too, imo.

Amer Sports bought Suunto in 1999.
You’re completely wrong on all your said, please stop.

Thank you for the great news! I can only speak for myself, but the visuals, ease of customizing different types of workouts, and especially the search function (!) all make Movescount far superior to a smartphone app. I’m grateful that Movescount will be around a little longer, and I hope Suunto will consider at least outsourcing the Movescount app to a company that could easily keep it going into the future.

Never used MC, I am pretty new to Suunto and from the start after buying S9B I used SA.
Since people are praising MC so much I wanted to take a look, created an account and it looks ok, especially when it comes to Personal Bests (function I like but can not find anywhere in other services).
But - is there a way of uploading data from SA to MC? Not directly of course, but any activity import option? I know I should not be using both apps on one phone, so looking for some way of uploading activities to website.

@pavel-samokha Some Chinese structures called Arta Sports bought Amer Sports in 2018 or 2019. And they decided to develop new direction for suunto (Suunto 7 and 5 etc). Hope you won’t get shocked that much

[Алексей Омельченко]

@Алексей-Омельченко sorry for misspelling Arta Sports and Amer Sports

@kabzior
if you want to import SA activities in MC, you can use Syncmytracks Android for example. But if you love MC after that, you will become sad when/if it disapear

[pavel.samokha]

@Алексей-Омельченко it’s really sad, that you can’t read public info properly. Amer Sports was bought but international consortium including Anta Sports, Tencent and Lululemon founder. It didn’t affect Suunto operations.
Suunto 5, 7, Suunto App projects had been started long time before acquisition of Amer Sports.

Hi guys,

I’ve reading the post and some comments are not in the line of helping each other, respect for other and yourself and what this community is.

So if any new post is in that wrong line I will edit it in order to end discussion of false or miss leading conversations.

Thanks.
iOS here I will look for some alternative.
Too bad they did not give an option of uploading files.

But if you love MC after that, you will become sad when/if it disapear

That’s the risk I’m willing to take

@kabzior
For iOS, some are using rungap

There is no possibility in SA of setting individual heart rate zones for A3 Sports watches. What kind of “Digital service transition” can be a question at all?

I guess you need to read this : https://forum.suunto.com/topic/5247/how-to-use-suunto-services-sync-routes-customize-sport-modes-for-ambit-traverse-and-traverse-alpha-with-suunto-app

@sartoric there is no answer for my problem why SA ignoring individual pulse zones that I got setup threw Movescount service

Nice app, thanks.
But it looks like it can only import from MC, not export to it.

Ok, so your problem is not setting the zones but review the HR data in SA

[Bulkan]

@kabzior which services do you want to sync? Maybe I can help
