Just ordered the DS Action 38mm with the blue dial. Certina are probably my favourite brand currently. The quality for the price is amazing. I have a DS1 already and love it.
Glad you bought those are good ones, as my first model only the push pins are bit cheap, and that 43 case it’s bit huge all that said a lot of hard bitten all day watch only the stern had issues under the warranty all that said still in the box now have new beauties on the wrist Sinn U50 , 104 and 105 models what an amazing bad ass watches! Congrats to your review about Certina very underrated watches like the Longines Hydroconquest versions now bit more expensive but still very own design and well made watches, but again push pins come on Swatch Group…
Love the subtle color! I've been looking to add a 38 to my collection, and even next to a Pelagos 39 this will be a strong contender for wrist time, very pretty and again, the subtle color pop makes it very interesting. Really love Certina pouring some love in their line-up for smaller diameters.
I'm glad they shrunk it to 38, it's a great size. Like the design as well, under the radar but fun at the same time. But the 19mm lug width makes it a no go. I don't understand why brands insist on this.
Agree, I prefer the Pelagos by far. Maybe the Certina is a great watch, but I don't like the final result. I know tha the proportions and measurements are fine, and everything seems to be right, but is there something that I don't like.
A great review of a great looking watch from an incredible brand. Thanks! I'll be soon be adding the 43mm version to partner my DS 1 Himalaya. Thinking of getting the DS 2 as well. Keep them coming.
This review is rather timely. Mine just turned up a few hours ago and is on my wrist already. I think the weight or rather lack of will take some getting used to. I was shocked to see this in the recent Easter bank holiday sale and took a blind pun on it. Picked up for £620 so I was lucky to get such a steal, I wonder if they misspriced it given how new to the market they are.
@BraveBeaters UK retail price is £860. I got it from a UK AD so nothing to do with tax. They now have it at full price. I honestly think they miss priced it and I have been extremely lucky and I will enjoy the watch, thank you
Excellent review! Another watch brand to watch for is Mido, IMO. Their Ocean Star Heritage (40.5 mm dia.) seems to be another "hidden gem" in the watch world.
the turquoise really makes this watch. without the luster of stainless steel, titanium can look too dark for my taste. however the hands and hour markers make this watch a winner. love your enthusiasm for Certina - a fantastic brand with great quality and great value.
Nice review as always 👍🏻👍🏻, and the 38mm DS is the way to go, love mine 😇, wearability is top, steel or titanium.. Luckely it’s only you as YT that has reviewed this one. Thanks 👏🏻👏🏻
Great looking watch... move the date to 6 o'clock add on the fly adjustment... lume looks solid. Might wait for the price to drop on this before considering purchasing it. Great review as always!
I was saving for BB58 925. But now this release caught my eye. It hits much of the same "desk diver" boxes as bb58 but at much more affordable price point. Those turquoise markers give it some identity too. I just might opt this one now instead of 925 later down the line.
If you want the BB58, keep saving. If you buy the Certina, at the beginning everything is fine, but a few months later you will start to think about the Tudor and possibly, you end up selling the Certina.
Just remember the BB 925 has a silver case. You will see tarnishing over time even though they say it doesn’t tarnish. Literally tried one on display at an AD with tarnishing on it!
Actually the Certina DS Action Diver in 43 came out around 2011 (can't remember exatcly). Case and hands were similar but it had a date display at 4.30 (colour matching dial) and had a bezel with glass inlay. Also the Powermatic movement wasn't released yet so it had ETA 2824-2. I sold mine when the newer models were released and bought a new black dial one. Sold this one when the ceramic updated version came out and bought the 38mm as soon as it was available. Now I want the titanium one 🙄 How many Certina DS Action Divers does a man need I wonder 😅 Great review, hello and buona serata from the swiss 🇨🇭✌️
Great watch, great video 👍🏼 the things some people are saying about the powermatic80 movement are not accurate and true, they are good reliable movements and they can be repaired and regulated too. Ask any legitimate watchmaker about that movement and they'll all tell you what I just said.
I have the stainless steel one in green. It's my favourite watch. I've had it for a year now and use it as a daily. It's unbelievably accurate and gains only 0.8 seconds per day! Seriously amazing accuracy for an automatic at any price
I’m in love with the DS action 38mm in green, the only reason why I never pull the trigger on that is because I’m waiting/hoping on the version with the ceramic bazel, for me that around £800 would be a killer! This model is a good value but it’s simply not my thing.
I bought one of the green 38mm ceramic watches last year. I’m very doubtful at this point that they will make a ceramic bezel. Even if they do, the 43mm version went from a nice bright green to a flat olive drab colour. The current green 38mm DS Action is a nice, vibrant sunray green that looks way better than the 43mm ceramic olive drab green version.
Yep, this is the titanium version I got. Very compact, comfortable and extremely accurate too: definitely under 0.5s per day deviation in my 24/7 wearing mode.
The DS Action 38mm is so close to perfection. If they use a ceramic bezel, increased the lug width to a more common 20mm, use a female end link, add 2 more micro-adjust holes, and pushed the hour markers so slightly towards the center (it looks too close to the edges), it would be so much better IMO.
I like it, would remove ‘Titanium’ from the dial, and possibly lose the date (but not too fussed about this tbh) and they need to come up with a way of indicating the power reserve without having ‘Powermatic 80’ unnecessarily cluttering the dial of a dive watch. But an interesting option for sure.
Recently, we talked about Certina's leading innovation compared to other brands in the Swatch group. Certina was one of the first to release fully legal diving watches with true ISO in small sizes. In addition, professionally made with a ceramic bezel in a size 34.5 mm that is deadly for the competition and a tasteful clasp. These are truly luxury watches without compromise. The snobby concept of a crude tool watch can already be put between the books. The competition is lame and has trouble catching its breath. There is a tendency to go back to smaller sizes. No one follows the path of INVICTA watches anymore. Let's hope the era of small UNISEX watches will return. Rolex still sells these models.
I'm not a fan of titanium, but this Certina is awesom! I mean, the colors (titanium and turquoise), the case, the handset, the dial, the bracelet and most important the availability...If I ever buy a titanium watch, this is the one. Thanks for the presentation. Greetings from MX.
Its very inviting to buy again... That urge of collecting..The desire to have the 43mm and this one. How would the titanium on this model handle scratches? Would it be least to scratch than stainless? Thank you as always sharing Certina watches.
This is a great alternative to the Seiko Shogun at $1500 USD. I own two versions of the Shogun and absolutely love them but this watch is very similar at a much lower price.
Shogun is very cool, especially the leatest ones. This is more towards the smaller size, where shogun is 43.5 mm, can be compared with the 43 mm titanium ds action
Almost perfect watch. But I would like for it also having conventional silver/white markers. Those turquoise markers don’t sit well with a discrete personality like mine.
I have 43 mm version and sometimes I regret not having smaller one but then I think you also need some bigger watches in collection. Also I believe bigger watches will be trendy again when everyone will wear watches under 40 mm
Honestly. I am oscilating between the 38 and 43. I equally love the bigger version as I like the presence of it and the versatily of buying rubber straps for it.
Going to buy this watch. It's funny, though, the way the marketing is done. I would actually love this with their Precidrive. Love accurate watches and the whole mechanical thing isn't such an attraction. If you're making less on quartz, increase your price to suit. Instead we're offered less and literally forced to take the mechanical version. Certina has already staked out super precise quartz movements. Pity they don't follow up on it.
The only thing I would possibly ask for is a dateless version, but a part from that it’s the perfect modern dive watch by definition. Perfect size, great material, original look and design, not to mention a good move,ent and a pretty honest price.
I had the 43mm DS action it was an awesome watch with the ceramic bezel and deep glossy black dial however it was way too big for my wrist so I sold it on. I almost bought this one but I passed due to the aluminium bezel. Seeing dents in the macro shots validates it for me. If they upgrade it the same as they did for the 43mm I'll be there for it
Yo tengo la versión de acero inoxidable que tiene UD. (Esa de la preservación de la tortuga) y esperaba con ansias la versión de titanio pero... sin la ventana de fecha, saludos desde México 🤙🏽🇲🇽
The colour (?) scheme is stylishly superb. My concern is with titanium it has had to have treatment for protection against the world. Even the Pelagos 39 , I think, doesn't have hhe highest rated protection. I just got a DS38 & it's just inside tolerance (27 secs.+) , which give the movement is disappointing, especially when every one on RUclips is almost COSC like. The bracelet- I've given up sizing -the pins are immovable ( great!) but the company pre- adjusts it &.. (!?) .The hands have more lume than the indices. The 19mm is proving more PITA . Forget other bracelets- some rubber and basically basic natos , oh well , it looks fab though. Close but not quite the full cigar, yet ( I neither smoke or encourage the habit) Cheers .
I think this Certina DS Action is more than able to stand on its own two feet... sorry hands. The design and value for money it is hard to beat. I've not owned a Certina yet but as usual I will be looking around the AD's at some point when I feel the itch. So far I've had no issues with the PM80 movement either in my Tissot watches, not the most accurate but from my experience are consistent and close to COSC but different brands within the Swatch group have different requirements. Servicing costs do not seem too hostile to the wallet either according to the Tissot web prices the last time I checked.
I tried it on today, I had great expectations and was ready to pull the trigger, spolier alert: I bought another Seiko 😂 it looks cool but the case is chunky, the bracelet is good but the clasp very average, the bezel action is probably the worst I ever experienced: sometimes too hard, sometimes mushy and a plastic "feel", I was so disapointed I asked for others model to test the bezel and they were all absolutely awful.
Nice looking dial but with a clasp with only 2 micro adjusts it's a no buy. Half links may help but it's likely to be a poor fit with the bracelet. At this price point the clasp should have on the fly adjustment or at least a couple more microadjusts. Why no info on the lume or at least a lume shot. This was more like an advert than a review.
A very careful review. I will not go over all the things I mentioned much earlier and as the author points out, the product does not bring any new features. Weight and size are the most important factors here. You're right about the combo, it would be a hit along with a quick strap change that would have to be for the built-in telescopes on the nylon version. I agree that this is without a doubt a very good item if you are thinking of TUDOR at all. And I agree with you, redesigning to 30mm would kill the competition. There is no watch of this type in this segment, each manufacturer tries to sell the so-called women's watches in men's sizes. Reduces the cost of UNISEX models with shorter and thinner straps and cardboard boxes instead of display boxes. Regards
I received the 38mm Stainless steel version and it felt low quality to me. The bracelet was jangly and the bezel action was loose and terrible feeling. The Powermatic 80 movement on my timegrapher was at -27 spd with a beat error of 0.8 so, I immediately sent it back. Very disappointing.
You are one of the very few watch reviewers on YT covering Certina models.Keepupthe goodwork, Andre !
Just ordered the DS Action 38mm with the blue dial. Certina are probably my favourite brand currently. The quality for the price is amazing. I have a DS1 already and love it.
Killer watches both, the blue 38 but also the Ds1! Enjoy them :)

Favourite brand, great update to the 38mm diver. Thanks for putting so much effort into presenting it so professionally!
I'm a big guy and I always used to get Big 42-44-46 MM watches but in the recent year I started wearing 39MM because they are so much slicker.
I'm glad they shrunk it to 38, it's a great size. Like the design as well, under the radar but fun at the same time. But the 19mm lug width makes it a no go. I don't understand why brands insist on this.
The narrower 19mm width of the bracelet gives the watch a style edge, one can still get away with fitting a 20mm fabric or rubber strap.
20mm lug width could make it a buy for me.
You bet
Happy to see that Certina went with the turtle caseback.
It’s a great watch even if you don’t compare it with the Tudors. I wish Certina gets the attention it deserves with this one!!
They should, this is a solid release which can sit on a top 10 divers of the year :)
I agree. Tudor is overrated 😂
Agree, I prefer the Pelagos by far. Maybe the Certina is a great watch, but I don't like the final result. I know tha the proportions and measurements are fine, and everything seems to be right, but is there something that I don't like.
@@Nachovalenti899Name on the dial?
This looks miles better than pelagos.
I am no longer a 'younger' enthusiast, but I like this a lot. Subtle, strong, with just enough style.

You make the Best reviews Andrei, as always. Thank you.😎

Enjoy it, Robert!

Yes yes yes! I fully agree with you! Cheers, Sam!
Thank you for your review, I was thinking about buying the very watch. Loads of help thanks again.
As a BB58 owner, I really want one of these. Don't think it's really an alternative, definitely not a competitor, but a great watch in it's own right
One of the best features is the thin case. Wears really well.
I have the stainless steel one in green. It's my favourite watch. I've had it for a year now and use it as a daily. It's unbelievably accurate and gains only 0.8 seconds per day! Seriously amazing accuracy for an automatic at any price
I have this one too. I am always surprised at how good this watch is at a very reasonable price point.

Great looking diver! Just wish they had more micro adjustments and screws rather than pins on the bracelet
Nice review 👍

Great looking watch.... on my list now ;)
Great video.
WOW! This is stunning! I really want this but Certina isn't really around here in the United States unless I go gray market.
There is: hodinkee, teddy, ebay and helen kirkhoffer, which ships worldwide :)
Chrono24 as well.

Very nice watch. Needs to be a no date, or date at 6:00. The 19mm lug width is concerning.
Why date at 6?
Its very inviting to buy again... That urge of collecting..The desire to have the 43mm and this one. How would the titanium on this model handle scratches? Would it be least to scratch than stainless? Thank you as always sharing Certina watches.
same here, the brand always comes up with more and more interesting models and I have to re-prioritize my purchases :D
Try to get your hands on the new certina DS Pilot! really like to see your shots on theirs pieces.
Hi, I will try. :)
This is a great alternative to the Seiko Shogun at $1500 USD. I own two versions of the Shogun and absolutely love them but this watch is very similar at a much lower price.
Shogun is very cool, especially the leatest ones. This is more towards the smaller size, where shogun is 43.5 mm, can be compared with the 43 mm titanium ds action
Seiko is more, but at least you get Diashield to protect the titanium. But I’d also go for the Certina as the cost and 38mm size is better.
Thanks for review. Beautiful model but we need a ceramic bezel insert 😃
been mentioning in the video as well. We want ceramic bezeeeel! :D
Great video to a great looking watch. Got my eye on it.
Almost perfect watch. But I would like for it also having conventional silver/white markers. Those turquoise markers don’t sit well with a discrete personality like mine.
My favorite yet
Same for me :)
I have 43 mm version and sometimes I regret not having smaller one but then I think you also need some bigger watches in collection.
Also I believe bigger watches will be trendy again when everyone will wear watches under 40 mm
Honestly. I am oscilating between the 38 and 43. I equally love the bigger version as I like the presence of it and the versatily of buying rubber straps for it.
This small size divers trend saves me so much money. I wish it continues. My wallet is grateful.
I'm concerned about a throw away movement 🤔 what would it cost to have a new one installed ?
should be covered under warranty :)
@@BraveBeaters How long is warranty ?
Whats a throw away movement?
@@kullekusk8136 A movement that can't be serviced or is more expensive to repair than a new one. .IMO
The one thing holding me back from Certina is the low beat rate making the 80h PR possible, I´d rather have a lower PR and high beat rate. Thanks
Very well made video. Thanks.

This look great ! Do you know how heavy it is? More than 100 g?
Would love to get this but the lack of a quick adjust clasp lets it down for me
What digital notebook are you using to draw the watch? That is so cool!.
Pin and collar or screw link bracelet?
Great timepiece for the price
I have the Pelagos 39 and I still kinda want this.
Killer watch, that Pelagos! :)
Great video!
I'd love to see a no-date version of that
Symmetry on the dial, yes! ❤️
So true!
Date? lovely, Watches need to have a date!
Please no
Yes, please.. I would like a no date.. and slightly thicker bezel :D
I like almost everything you've said about the watch, but can't get over the lug width. Do wish it slightly larger but that's a personal preference.
Love how it looks. Not sure I like the size, like to see it in 40mm i think.
Is crown Titanium as well¿
Yes.
No date dial, ceramic bezel insert and glide adjust clasp would make this watch perfect
Wonderful watch
Is the bezel off centre 🤔 looks wonky too me😬
I tried it on today, I had great expectations and was ready to pull the trigger, spolier alert: I bought another Seiko 😂 it looks cool but the case is chunky, the bracelet is good but the clasp very average, the bezel action is probably the worst I ever experienced: sometimes too hard, sometimes mushy and a plastic "feel", I was so disapointed I asked for others model to test the bezel and they were all absolutely awful.
I prefer the NATO and I really don’t mind the date window the watch still has good symmetry.
Would you choose it in favor of the Seiko SPB143?
Luv luv luv it
Nice looking dial but with a clasp with only 2 micro adjusts it's a no buy. Half links may help but it's likely to be a poor fit with the bracelet. At this price point the clasp should have on the fly adjustment or at least a couple more microadjusts. Why no info on the lume or at least a lume shot. This was more like an advert than a review.
Is that titanium grade 5 or just grade 2?
Same question here, do you found the answer ?
It’s grade 2
Why 19mm...????!!!!😢😢 Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy 3:26
For the 2/1 ratio maybe ?
That color combination is stunning, Certina does not get the accolades they deserve!

I received the 38mm Stainless steel version and it felt low quality to me. The bracelet was jangly and the bezel action was loose and terrible feeling. The Powermatic 80 movement on my timegrapher was at -27 spd with a beat error of 0.8 so, I immediately sent it back. Very disappointing.
Is it worth buying I like it please
Hi, watched all your videos on the subject and struggling to choose between DS-2 / DS-2 turning bezel / above DS action titanium 38mm...😢 Any tips?
what did you choose
Nice!
Very nice!
How's the lume on this new model??
very very nice watch
Would it be easily scratched?
Don't understand why the 38mm isn't available in black and gold.
It is available in black gold :)
@@BraveBeaters In the 38mm titanium? Really? Could you share a link?
Are they using grade 5 titanium or grade 2 ? Thanks in advance
