Need your help
Hi guys, im currently planing to buy a new watch at the end of the year for myself.
I cant decide between These 2 watches. The Doxa Sub 200 & Certina Action Diver 38mm.
I really like the Design of the sub 200, but I think the movement in the Certina is more reliable with the Nivachron spring and shock restiance. My worry is that the sub200 gets to easy magnified in Daily use. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance🙏

Doxa looks so much better
I don't own either, but I've tried on the Doxa & the bracelet is super comfortable.
The Doxa is a very, very nicely made watch for under 1k. It's also a lot more visually interesting to me than the Certina is. Also keep in mind, that a 38mm diver can wear rather small, if you care about things like that. Almost every watch I have is 36-37mm, but I like my divers to be at least 39mm because the bezel can make the dial look too small. I wouldn't be concerned about the movement in the Doxa. It's tried and true. I work around computers and car speakers almost daily and haven't had an issue magnetizing a watch, including watches with the same movement as the Doxa.

Thanks for your help!
Sure thing!
DOXA! 🤷🏽♂️😜
I'd go for the Doxa, hands down. The Certina is handsome but looks like a mish-mash of every other dive watch out there.
It's really hard to tell cause i haven't tried either of them since there isn't a dealer near me but if I had to choose I would go with doxa
I own the Certina in black. It’s good value for money if you’re looking for a dive watch on the smaller size. The appeal of its generic looking dial is that it wears well with anything. It’s comfortable as well. I enjoy mine.
Don’t own a cortina.I really like my sub 200
