Exporting all data from Suunto App.
-
I have transferred all of my old Ambit2/3 moves from Movescount to the Suunto app, and have added many new moves directly into the Suunto app with my Suunto 9.
I would now like to download all of the moves/activities from the Suunto app so I can back them up on my computer (for obvious reasons).
I have been browsing the forums but haven’t yet figured out how to do this.
Would anyone have a suggestion?
Exporting them one at a time clearly isn’t an option, since there are hundreds.
Thanks!
-
@wandern you should contact support (e.g. via Suunto App)
-
I gave that a try.
Thanks for the suggestion.

@wandern OS?

on movescount you can export all, and it will send you a mail.
Then you just export the different ones from SA -
I’m using iOS.

@André-Faria That would be fine, but I have more than 100 moves with my Suunto 9 Baro that are exclusively in the Suunto App.

Check out RunGap. It will allow exports to just about any platform that can be date restricted. You will need to buy the Swag Bag but it will do what you need. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rungap-workout-data-manager/id534460198

@Brad_Olwin Thank you for an excellent suggestion. That app worked flawlessly.
Unfortunately, I’ve found that anything that can even remotely be interpreted as criticism of the Suunto App is summarily deleted, but I feel it is extremely important to tread carefully in the Suunto software ecosystem these days.

hmmm… maybe the Chinese influence after the acquisition can be already felt?

What exactly was deleted?

This is totally false. Show any proof of that.

@wandern Say anything negative you want! I wish the app had true multiwatch support, it does not. I also wish the app could integrate better with Apple Health, it does a poor job.
-
For me it sucks that it doesn’t have pois or bigger charts on iOS.
And hey @wandern you are welcome.

@isazi That’s clearly impossible just by definition since the posts no longer exist on the forum or in my profile.
Several months ago I posted two messages questioning Suunto’s choice to eliminate Movescount while the Suunto App remained deeply crippled. Movescount could be used on my 27" display and allowed syncing watches without the need of a cellphone (my kids don’t have cellphones, but they do have multiple Suunto watches). The Suunto App removes an enormous amount of Movescount’s functionality, only allows connection to a single watch at a time, forces one to view data on a screen not much bigger than the watch itself, and finally requires a phone (or a limited number of tablets, on which it still displays a 3" view).
As a long time loyal Suunto customer, I feel betrayed in many ways - the removal of existing software support that has minimal cost to Suunto (cloud fees), being forced to purchase cellphone or tablets to sync existing watches, and the inability to visualize move data without a microscope.
Beyond that, I think that Suunto has really lost sight of its roots by completely abandoning the market it staked out with the Ambit series.
The worst - to me - is that when a customer brings up these completely legitimate concerns, they’re too often met with a litany of dismissive responses.
Although I don’t know Suunto’s revenue contribution to Amer Sports, I can say with absolute certainty that the choices the company and management have made over the past few years are quickly reducing the brand to a niche, regional player in low to mid-range watches - which is where prestige, profit, and innovation are the lowest, and competition the most intense.
I spend an enormous amount of time outdoors, and I haven’t seen a new Suunto watch in the field in over a year. If a loyal customer can no longer in good conscience recommend Suunto - and the company almost universally refuses to give customers a meaningful roadmap, and makes major product line decisions in a seemingly capricious manner, I do not hold high hopes for the future.
I will gladly admit that some of the Suunto 9 Baro firmware updates have added some nice functionality to the watch - but most of that functionality should have been present (or at least on a roadmap) at release time. To me, it feels like these updates are a too-late too-little response to customer pressure.
I hope that I’m completely wrong about Suunto and its future direction, but the slow motion trainwreck of the Suunto App / Movescount transition seems symbolic of company management these days.
Sincerely,
A Suunto user with over $5,000 of Suunto watches in the house. -
@wandern long response, probably agreeable by many Ambit users, still zero accounts of deleting messages in the forum.

@Mff73 No, the posts were specifically about the mid-year Movescount transition update announcement and the coming requirement that all Suunto users would need to buy phones to continue to sync data from their watches (my kids participate in sports, and use their watches daily, but don’t have phones). I don’t want to dwell on this because it won’t change anything.

I can check at the logs but since I am the only admin here noone has deleted any of your posts.
Could you help me with the date (around) you made them ?

@wandern well I don’t find very nice you to say something as radical as that mods are deleting your posts from the forum, and then say “oh whatever”. There is no way anyone deleted one of your posts unless you are a spammer, and you are clearly not.
Now maybe there is a misunderstanding with the fact that you only see the latest 10 posts in your profile (like every user), but that does not mean they are deleted, just use the search function. Your same profile says that you have 19 posts.
