Looking forward to it! 3rd Party Compatibility: And, while I’m at it – since I know a few of you have asked about the new Suunto Ambit GPS integrated watch – yes, I will definitely be reviewing it and should have a unit in my hands as we get into the first week of March. heart rate straps) are using Suunto’s proprietary ANT variant which aren’t compatible with anything else. Now, I do want to point out that while this is a Suunto ‘accessory’, it’s the only Suunto accessory that will work with other ANT+ devices (like your Garmin).

It’ll simply download from any device you have (i.e.

Like the Mac, on Windows once you’ve got the drivers automatically installed, you’ll use the Garmin ANT Agent software just as you normally would.

Once it finishes up being installed – it’s the same old ANT USB Stick 2 (ANT2).įor all you Mac folks, I was able to also download workouts without issue using the Garmin ANT Agent and in this case, a Garmin FR610 (but again, any Garmin watch will work).

Thus it doesn’t look any different to the Garmin software than Garmin’s own stick.Īll you do is simply plug in the stick, give it a few seconds to grab the USB drivers from Windows Update (I’ve tried it on Windows Vista and Windows 7) – and you’re good to go! You’ll note that initially when it first starts looking for drivers, it calls it the Suunto Movestick Mini (it normally comes with the Suunto Quest watch). So the Suunto stick is ANT2, which means that despite being Suunto it’s really just like any other ANT+ stick under the covers. Each channel is limited to one ANT+ accessory. Or – if you’ve got multiplayer type applications taking advantage of it. But when it comes to applications that may leverage the USB stick for real-time data transfer – such as TrainerRoad – the extra channels become really important if you have multiple ANT+ accessories (like Speed, Cadence, Power Meters, Heart Rate, etc…). In common scenarios like downloading your data, it doesn’t really matter. You can see the flavors on the back of virtually all sticks in tiny writing – “USB2 Wireless USB Stick”ĪNT1 had a limited number of channels (4), whereas the newer ANT2 stick has more channels (8). Well ok, it left my laptop to take these photos:īut, you may be asking how is it that a Suunto branded stick works with Garmin watches? See, when it comes to ANT+ USB sticks, there are basically two flavors – ANT1 (USB1) and ANT2 (USB2). That includes plane flights, to and from work, and all assortment of wanderings around town. In fact, aside from a few tests in other computers – it hasn’t left my laptop since the package arrived. And the best thing is that with being so small, I can leave it in my laptop 24×7. Just check it out in comparison to your normal ANT+ stick:Īs you can see, it’s tiny. I immediately ordered one and waited for the horribly oversized box from Amazon to arrive.īut I don’t think I was prepared for just how small it is once I got it all unboxed. So back in January when I was alerted to a much smaller USB ANT+ stick that could replace your existing Garmin ANT+ USB stick that you use with your current Forerunners I was pretty jazzed to give it a whirl.
She’ll still likely try to steal it while giving me that innocent ‘I’m not guilty’ smile. But it doesn’t keep her from stealing my ANT stick. Somehow that paint scheme she did on hers only works one way in attempting to prevent me from stealing her stick. Having broken off various USB doo-dads from my computer before (as well as smart cards sticking out the side), breakage is a reality, and with it hanging off 1-2” into the wild blue yonder, it’s a prime target for a grade-A fail.Īnd I suppose a third issue is The Girl stealing it. Second, is the issue of it simply breaking off. But, I’ve since shared how I solved that problem. First up is the issue of simply losing the darn thing in my backpack or around the house. If you’re like me and are constantly on a laptop – there are really two minor issues that I have with the Garmin USB stick that I use to download workouts from my Forerunner to my computer.
