Suunto just published an update about their “digital services transition,” a.k.a. the death of Movescount. There are interesting points in it for owners/users of legacy devices…

“Legacy devices”? Read, old watches.
If you still use an Ambit, Ambit 2 or Ambit 3 (Sport, Run, Vertical, whatever) or a Traverse, this really concerns you.
A Note for Suunto Spartan and Suunto x (3, 5, 9) Users
If you are using a newer Suunto, either of the Spartan or of the new ‘numbers’ series, the new communication doesn’t really address you.
- For advanced analysis and dive planning on PC or Mac, install Suunto DM5. Transfer dive logs from your compatible Suunto dive computer, upload dive plans, and customize your dive computer (depending on device). Once the dive data is on your PC or Mac, get online and share everything with your friends on Suunto Movescount.
- Use Suunto Apps to customize your compatible Suunto watch, adding new features for free. Search the Suunto App Zone to see what apps other Movescount members have made. If you can't find what you need, create your own app with the Suunto App Designer.
- Suunto app is the future of our digital services We launched Suunto app in Spring 2018 as the future of our digital services, with the desire of providing a better user experience for the Suunto community as a whole.
Its main point for you: Switch to the Suunto app (rather than Movescount app) if you haven’t already; forget about the Movescount web platform and link your Suunto app to www.quantified-self.io* for long-term trends and deeper analysis.
We stand for adventure. Movescount is designed to be your partner, whenever and however you conquer new territory. MAKE ALL YOUR MOVES COUNT Track your distance, speed and calories, see your move. Oct 05, 2020 The biggest downside of the transition from Movescount to Suunto app is probably the lack of support for older watches. Suunto doesn’t plan to ensure the compatibility of watches without Bluetooth (Suunto Ambit, Ambit 2 etc.) with the Suunto app.

We’ll need to talk about this Q-S tool; let me just say here that it’s insanely powerful. And free, and not just for Suunto devices.]
The Updates for Ambit and Traverse Owners
Removal of the Movescount App
The Movescount App, Suunto now announced, will be removed from the app stores by December 18, 2019:
As mentioned in our April communications, we will remove the Movescount App from Google Play and App Store, we target this to be completed on December 18, 2019. After this time, users that have the app on their phone may continue to use it, but the service will no longer be maintained, and if you change phones or delete the app, it will no longer be available for download.
https://www.suunto.com/en-gb/Content-pages/digital-service-transition/So, if you keep it on your phone, you can still use it, but you can’t download it from an app store anymore. And of course, there won’t be any new developments, bug fixes, anythings.
The disappearance of the Movescount app also means that the Ambit 3 will lose its workout planner.
Moveslink2 / Suuntolink
So far, Ambit and Traverse watches synced with Movescount (mainly, if it isn’t an Ambit3 that could do wireless sync via Bluetooth through the Movescount app – which is disappearing), through the Moveslink2 program on a computer…
Moveslink2 and Suuntolink: By summer 2020, Suuntolink will replace Moveslink2, offering our Ambit and Traverse owners a renewed service experience. Suuntolink will be the connection to Suunto app and access to new and incremental benefits from our partner ecosystem. We will keep everyone updated with more details to ensure moving to Suuntolink, and taking Suunto app into use, is as easy as possible.
https://www.suunto.com/en-gb/Content-pages/digital-service-transition/By the sounds of that, the old watches will sync via USB cable (as now), just with Suuntolink instead of Moveslink2 and sending the data to the Suunto app rather than Movescount.
And from the Suunto app, data can be sent to ever-more partners, which is how Suunto apparently wants its users to dive deeper into data, get it all collected in more than one place, etc.
Movescount on the Web
Somewhat contrary to earlier fears – and then again, exactly like those – the Movescount web platform will also disappear. At least as an analytics platform:
Suunto Movescount.com (web service): Our web service will continue to evolve in 2020. We will no longer call it Movescount and its role in our services will be to enable key functionality (including watch settings, routes and sport mode customization) for Ambit (1, 2 and 3) and Traverse family watches only. We are planning these web-based updates for the second half of 2020 and will keep everyone updated on the changes coming. No changes are happening right away.
Top Mac App
https://www.suunto.com/en-gb/Content-pages/digital-service-transition/Whatever the non-Movescount on the web will be, it will not be called Movescount, it will not serve as an analytics platform for sports data, and it will not be for the newer watches (Spartan and Suunto 3, 5, 9).
Movescount Suunto Windows
For Ambit and Traverse watches, however, whatever it changes into will provide access to watch settings, sports mode customization, and routes.
We’ll have to see how these develop then; they will (have to) sync via Suuntolink, USB… but then, that’s basically how that works now, just with Movescount and Moveslink2.
Will routes only be imported from a GPX created somewhere else, though? Or will the route planning tool remain?
Will there be a link between the route planning tool in the Suunto app and the routes on this no-longer-Movescount so that routes can be created in the app (even if they can get onto legacy watches only via USB cable-sync through Suuntolink on a computer)?
These questions still remain.
Advice?

Well, if you haven’t already given up on Suunto because you were unhappy they are changing anything (I did hear people who complained in such ways), then these updates on the transition sound like you’ll not really need to do anything.
Use Movescount and the Movescount app as long as you can and want to. https://qtmsivn.weebly.com/how-to-delete-an-app-on-macair.html.
Suunto Movescount Mac App Installer
Get ready to switch – or switch already, if you have an Ambit 3 or Traverse that can sync with a smartphone – to the Suunto app.
Mac App Free
Just know that, at the moment, a switch to the Suunto app means the loss of the workout planner (i.e., the tool for phased workouts / intervals for the Ambit 3) and, rather more importantly, of route functionality.

(The current Suunto app does not sync routes to the Ambit 3 or Traverse. It looks like it accepts the “Transfer to watch” setting, but just doesn’t transfer… and the announcement here leaves it unclear whether this will come or only work through Suuntolink syncing.) How to view my apps on mac.

Frankly, the best advice seems to be to get a Suunto 5 or 9, import all your data into the Suunto app, and not use anything else – read, Movescount – anymore at all…
