Love the excitement, I’m also still thinking about the color. One hour to decide.

And I’ll check if this flashlight function comes to the S9PP also (it should, just let me check).

I find it hard to go for anything other than the top of the line model… so will be orange for me. But I realise that the colour is simply a strap that can be easily swapped out… and I have at least half a dozen 22mm straps

@surfboomerang Hm, I don’t think so… we’ll see…

For those of you that will keep your old device do you plan on using it still? For example I do not want to part ways with my s9b ambassador - it’s just too darn beautiful device, plus my 4 24 mm straps…
Maybe use the old watch when going to rough terrains? Bouldering?

[isazi]

For the S9PP users, if there is a flashlight function for this new watch, it should be there also with the next S9PP software update. Update should come next week I believe.

@Hristijan-Petreski what I do is: one of my friends or family needs a watch? I give it to them. No one I know needs a watch? I sell it.

[EzioAuditore]

@isazi Hm… do you think the 2 yellow dots on the up / down button turn on / off the flash?

[isazi]

@Hristijan-Petreski ask me in 50 minutes.

My S9B has been all around the world and been my company on some amazing races, so whilst I may no longer use it as much it will probably never be sold to someone that would never appreciate it like I do

Basically a ‘mini torch’ from the screen

[EzioAuditore]

@v-sacre You run at night (or northern hemisphere in winter) and you need people to be aware of you… so… flashlight from the watch

[isazi]

@Hristijan-Petreski or you don’t want to wake up your family turning on the lights at night, and use your watch.

[v.sacre]

Mhhh ok, why not, can be usefull in case you don’t have your phone next to you.

[MiniForklift]

I’m on the wrong side of 40, so it will be useful to safely get me down our stairs and to the toilet at 3am

[EzioAuditore]

@isazi yes forgot about those nights where you want to sneak out for a run

[EzioAuditore]

@MiniForklift Ha ha just cut the beer

I’m exactly in the situation than you guys…I’ll keep my S9B ambassador edition but won’t probably use it anymore, or very occasionnaly…Maybe I’ll sell a few of my 24mm straps collection…
