Cant connect ambit3 with app

Got the Suunto ambit 3 watch yesterday. Have spent 4 hr trying to get watch and app to connect w/o success. I read that some are having trouble sync ing this watch/software since software update early Jan/16. Anyone have info? If nothing and no connect Ill return to store n get Garmin Swim watch.
