Between now and then, the two platforms will operate concurrently (as they have been for a long time already).
In short, in summer 2020, Suunto will shut down the Movescount platform. Especially power features, the same features that Suunto has specifically noted they’re shifting the majority of their focus to since the Suunto 9 series. Instead, what’s more important is closing that gap between the significant number of features on Movescount that are missing on Suunto online. Beating that horse is mostly pointless at this juncture. From a Suunto internal standpoint they long ago sat down at a Finnish table and had the mother of all conversations about which platform would remain (Sports Tracker or Movescount), and ultimately decided Sports Tracker was the chosen child. Suunto has been very clear since at least last May that no further feature updates would come to Movescount.
I’d note that the shift towards the newer Suunto platform is hardly a surprise. So, I’m going to take a stab at covering some of the key points (after double-checking a few things with Suunto). Suunto attempted to cover that in a lengthy page of FAQ’s, though given the number of questions I’ve seen over the last 48 hours, it’s apparent that page might not be as clear as desired. Be it from the lack of features in the newer Suunto platform, to the lack of support for older watches (especially the Ambit 1/2 series) – there’s plenty of cause for needed clarity. That’s the platform that Suunto has been pushing since the launch of the Suunto 3 watch a year ago, and then this past summer with the Suunto 9 series.Īs one might expect, this has bubbled all sorts of questions to the surface on a variety of topics. Instead, users will use the newer Suunto online platform (previously called Sports Tracker – no relation to SportTracks). Two days ago Suunto announced plans to retire their online training platform, Movescount, sometime around Summer 2020 (~18 months from now).
