    Certina DS Action Diver 38 MM

    I'm sorely tempted by the green version of this, not as a daily wearer but as an alternative weekend/holiday watch, I know the colour scheme won't be for everyone, no experience of Certina, any real world experience?

    I asked a very similar question a few days ago - https://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.p...rtina-any-good
    The answers were resoundingly positive, and they do make so very attractive pieces at remarkably affordable prices...

    Is there nowhere local where you can have a look at one?

    I had a 38mm Christopher Ward that was lovely but ultimately a bit too small so I sold it on. It’s definitely a size you need to see on wrist (in my case anyway).

    Don't know how I missed that, as you say lots of positives.

    I have an 8'' wrist, I hardly wear watches above 40mm now and one of my favourites is a 38mm Squale.

    I've been wearing my Smith's Navigator all day, apparently it's only 36mm whereas I always thought it's 38mm, brilliant size so a 38mm Certina has to be worth a punt.

    I picked one up recently and they really are excellent. Extremely comfortable on the wrist and great quality punching way above its price point.

    Mine is also running within COSC spec. Pic on my 7 1/4” wrist.

    This YouTube video is worth a view.
