      @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 why is so important temperature for swim?

                @suzzlo nobody said it is so important. It would just be nice to have it… me too.

                    @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.

                                    Really?
                                    Do you run with headlight?
                                    With my headlight, i don’t need to activate the backlight.
                                    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.

                                        another question about watch mode as I sometimes see just black screens when I see people wearing S9ers casual…
                                        is this a setting to save battery? or does it only appear to be black? or do you need to activate the screen to see the time?

                                          In watch mode there is no black screen saving battery.
                                          There is this option during an activity. “Screen time out”. 10sec after you do not press any buttons, goes off

                                            but no need to activate it… because when I want to look at the values I don’t want to touch my watch every time first.
                                            and I understand that battery lasts around 30 hours with HR chest and display on setting.
                                            I think all these are pro’s for me 👌
