I think this would be a logical update for the series 9, to get the same, super bright display of the ultra. What do you think?
 
No. I don’t think they can pull it off with battery size differences, and I don’t think they want to blend features too much between the two.

I think a new battery technology is likely needed before the Series models can get that level of brightness. It seems like they’re finally starting to focus a bit more on battery life improvements, and going that route with the Series watches would be counterproductive.

Just my 2 cents.
 
I doubt it. Like the others said, the Ultra’s battery size allows it to have such a bright display. Even in direct sunlight the display easily stays readable. Love it!
 
Good insight guys, thank you! I snapped a 7 on amazon's special offer day for 630€ yesterday, so I'm happy!
