I wouldn’t pay full price for one, because they seem to drop in value quickly. There are plenty of 1 year old or less in as new condition on eBay at 50% or more off original purchase price.
I’m also only a little concerned about the powermatic 80 movement and whether it could be regulated or repaired. That said, the power reserve of nearly 3.5 days is great and I’m impressed with the build quality and lume.

When I was buying it, I tried the 43mm titanium version and I loved it! Unfortunately, 43mm is a bit too much for me. They didn't have the 38mm version
I'm a Certina fan. Here's my DS podium with a powermatic 80 and a cool dial.
There's a new Certina on it way.. I can't wait!
My new #certina arrived last week! A DSPodium 1/100 seconds chronograph precidrive. Love th size, the panda dial, de tachymeter scale bezel and the 1/100 of a second meter on the inside ring.
Beautiful - Certina's now get more wrist time than Seiko's for me recently (dont wven know how many Seiko's I own), ❤️ the Certina DS Multi 8 is close to watch perfection for my daily needs (one of my few non wind up watches I own ironically).

I’m pleased with my DS2:

Two of my favorite watches. The silver DS2 was my first vintage watch and accelerated the madness.
Yep
Hell yeah!

Solid point about buying at RRP.
The lume in my experience isn’t that great though
Great brand, I have a DS sport black dial and green hands

Most of my watches don’t have lume at all, so maybe I’m just easily pleased!

Got you bud! The lume colour is nice at least :) that I certainly agree with
I wish I knew how/where to purchase one in Singapore.
I have a vintage DS I inherited from my grandfather and a vintage DS2.
First ever "real watch" was a certina ds for me
Wearing my DS right now.
Love my Certina and do think the brand needs more recognition.
Love my Super PH 500m in orange. Top build quality and feels made to last.
Yes!! I love my DS Action Diver 38mm!

Huge Certina fan here. Really hard to go past their value for money when it comes to a Swiss Watch.
I’m wearing my DS Action Diver Titanium today and could honestly wear this everyday.
I also have a DS PH200M
and a DS Podium Square
Yes but don’t own any , love your bronze / copper , pvd ? very cool watch
I have one, and in general it's probably my favorite brand in terms of price/quality
I would just recommend them to stop writing Powermatic 80 on the dials hahah
My 42mm Action Diver.. I love this watch and 80 hours of power reserve!!

can’t decide if it’s a keeper but always come back to love the DS PH200M after some time off the wrist

I am already playing with strap swapping.
Huge fan of both vintage and modern Certina...
Here's what's in the collection at the moment...
