![]() ![]() A couple of months of basic functionality versus a minimum of 18 months of active development to go before Movescount leaves. ![]() While a heck of a lot clearly remains to be done over the next 18 months before Movescount goes away (and remember, that’s the minimum amount of time, it could stay around for longer than that), what remains to be done, while significant, is window dressing compared to what’s already been done in half that time, which probably explains why the company saw fit to announce the eventual changeover now.Īnd for people with Ambit3s and Traverses, consider this: the app didn’t work at all with any of those watches until a couple of months ago. The ability to do any of those other things in the app has been built from scratch over the course of the last eight months or so. ![]() It looked and worked like an experimental version of the Sports Tracker app that could pull a little data from a few watches. No control of the watch at all: no customization whatsoever, no route planning, no heatmaps, nothing. ![]() No sending those workouts off to any other services, no diary section with step counts, calories, sleep tracking, etc. All it did back then was pull workout data from the watch and put it in the Sports Tracker database, if I could get it to connect at all. I’ve been using the app as a beta with my Spartan since early last spring, shortly after the Android beta became available. While SA still has leaps and bounds by which it needs to improve to have even some of MC’s basic functionality (cough, POIs, cough, exporting FIT files, cough), it has improved by enormous leaps and bounds in far less time than that already. The Suunto App is very much a work in progress, and there are – at least – another 18 months to go before the company would consider it ready enough for prime time for it to scrap Movescount. I want to start off by saying that I know as little about the future direction of the SA or Suunto’s plans going forward as anyone else commenting here, but that said I will add what I do know: ![]()
