        I am not sure that the functions of S5 will not be brought to S9. Someone on the forum has hinted at the opposite. So I think your wife will be happy 😉

        countdown tones in interval training: nice to have !

        temperature: all the temperature sensors take a long time (about 10m in swimming pool) to settle on the current temperature. Try it out or go to see a temperature graph of a swim.
        The greater the time, the greater the delta temperature between the current one, perceived by the watch, to the real one, of the water. I don’t know how useful what you say can be: you should be in the water really a lot to get a correct figure. And if you risk giving an incorrect data, better not give it. That’s why I never look at the temperature in watch mode from my s9baro.

          @morskilav Fully agree with all the pros and cons you mentioned. I would add the possibility to add a tone when navigating and following a track to inform to switch direction

            @morskilav Hey little tips here.

            For the little without switching screen hold a tiny bit the middle button.

            Regarding the S5 vs S9 features everyone agrees with you but but but who knows 😉 (and I stop talking here as my NDA will be activated)

              You said well, possibility. I wouldn’t want them, for example. I prefer alarms for off tracks, rather than alarms to keep me constantly on track. too exhausting 😄

                @Saketo-Nemo This could be as an option you could switch on or off depending your needs 😉

                  @Saketo-Nemo I know this, thetefore when in the sea I wait some 10mins for the sensor to settle. I can easily see temperature going down but I believe it is understanable for most of people. I have also Suunto d6i and when doing freedive there is a temperature fisplayed and a similar behavior to S9B sensor.
                  Still I believe it would be a good feature to be able to put it to the watch face

                          @morskilav agreed its a “hack” rather a good behavour. However, just saying it out loud, I enable the backlight via options for night running.

                            @suzzlo I did not mean it is important but would be nice to have. I live at the sea, I am often going to sea and want to convey the message to other people what is the temperature. Certainly I can live without it but having temperature sensor onboard makes pitty not to use it

                                @johann-fuehrer I could close it for you… if its what you want… and I don’t think is that you want 😉

                                You’re right: NO! I don’t want it !!

                                  hey guys and ladies that come from ambit and are happy with s9b now:
                                  how did you get rid of your ambit apps addiction? didn’t you use the apps at all? or did s9b display values that made apps not required for you anymore?
                                  or are there apps (hence values) that you miss now?

                                    I am not a former Ambit (Apps) user and do not have an S9 (SSU user) but would love to have a current hill gradient as a field in sports watch mode. I miss that value…

                                      yes that’s something I used to use last year on the road bike but removed it for the sake of (for me) more important apps (5 apps is the limit).
                                      but I would appreciate to use it if it becomes standard in s9b

                                        I don’t have an S9B, but an SSU. On my A3P, which I still have, I used apps to have appropriate downhill stats for alpine ski, and also for HR-based recovery during interval runs. The SSU provides the skiing data fields out of the box, but HR-based recovery is only possible with the Ambit apps.

                                          It’s perfect with my S9b and my A3P.

                                            Yeah, I’d say complete darkness isn’t a problem because I usually run with a light. The problem is running in the afternoon when it just starts getting darker, especially when running into darker patches of forest.

                                            I could still see A3P perfectly in those conditions but struggle to see Suunto 9 without backlight.
