SuuntoLink 4

sebchastang

Hi,

I start to play with new Suuntolink version (4.0) but I am facing an issue regarding sport modes configuration.
Traverse watch can handle up to 5 sport modes. I expected it would be possible to create other sport modes and choose the 5 ones I want to use by enabling or disabling some of them, just like on movescount web :

I cannot find any switch or toggle to choose the sport modes I would like to use in my watch?

Does it mean I have to remove a sport mode if I want to use an other one, and then re-create the sport mode to use it again? Or do I miss something?

Can someone please help on this?

Thanks a lot

@sebchastang I have the feeling that sport modes are loaded/saved directly from/to the watch and don’t get saved anywhere else (not even locally on hard drive). And for that reason there is no way to accomplish what you are trying to do (and was possible with Movescount). As I see you have to remove one (if slots are full) before you recreate the sport mode you want to use again.

I could be wrong, but that’s my guess. Maybe @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos or @pavel-samokha has some intel on this.

I also have some concerns about heart rate limits, but didn’t had the chance to test it.

in MC we had option to enter values for the 3 Bike pods supported by Ambits ( 3P in my case), however only seeing one in SL4, thoughts?

@herlas do you have bike PODs paired to your watch and how many? I do not have any and I can’t see any bike POD related option (apart from the switch, to enable it for a sport mode). Could be that it is showing the calibration option based on how many PODs you have paired?

@andrasveres have one only (for now), will try to pair it as second one and see

@andrasveres I think you are right on this.

It was possible because of Movescount feature to store sportmodes, so no Movescount - no storage, only edit / delete / create from scratch.
I can understand inconvenience of this (especially in case of Traverse and/or users who tend to do different sports summer/winter) and I’ll transmit @sebchastang feedback. But no promises that it can be changed.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

@pavel-samokha I have found that the 5 Suunto Apps limit is applied incorrectly. I explain myself below:

The limit in Movescount is 5 different Suunto Apps for each sport mode. You can repeat the same Suunto App as many times as you want in different fields of a certain sport mode. It will only count as 1 Suunto App out of the 5 limit no matter how many times you repeat it.

The limit in Suunto Link 4.0.2 is 5 different Suunto Apps for each sport mode. But if you repeat the same Suunto App it counts as many times as you put it on a field of a certain sport mode.

In other words, I cannot use the same Suunto App on two different screens of a sport.

@sebchastang

Same with my AMbit 3, I’m disgusted

@titus_fromnewtown

At the very least, Suunto shall give us the possibility to store our apps localy (I mean on our own computers), and update suuntolink 4 so that we can access our own apps localy stored.

Can we imagine this ?

@pavel-samokha ??

After a short break, I needed to change my weight setting and had to do it in more places, again.
I was thinking, now that with the new version of SuuntoLink, Movescount is out of the picture, wouldn’t be nice that personal settings could sync between Suunto account and our Ambits? And, it would be the ultimate Christmas gift, if those with Ambit watches could modify within SuuntoLink the default heart rate zone percentages used in Suunto app.

@sebchastang should be fixed now

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos the fix is only for the Traverse? I still can’t overcome the 10 sport modes limit for the Ambit.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@andrasveres update sl 4.0.4 itshould allow to add the same app to many displays

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos
what about the issue of the routes not deleted on the watch even if they’re disabled on the SA? does it solve this too?
Thanks!

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos nevermind, my mistake. You replied to a sport modes complain and I thought that was fixed.

@G-Q it seems so.

@andrasveres cool! thanks!

sebchastang

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos I am still unable to create more than 5 sport modes

Maybe you were referring @toni_v post instead of mine (5 suunto apps limit)?
