Is Certina an underrated brand?
I've owned a Certina DS Podium automatic for several years now that I got from jomashop under $300. I've always believed that this brand is underrated because the quality of watch I received was far above and beyond what I paid. Do you agree? Is Certina underrated? How would you compare them to other brands under the swatch group umbrella or any other brand?

I see watches as portable functioning pieces of artwork. Affordable watches allowed me to explore many different designs and types of watches. My fascination with watches led me to become a watchmaker...

Depends on where you live. Certina isn't really marketed at all in Canada or America, so American influencers are unlikely to post much about them. Given most "watch content" seems to be in English, and Certina doesn't make many waves, I also suspect they aren't marketed much in the UK or Australia either.

This only intrigues me further. Now I'm curious where Certina does market.

I have no idea, I heard that Europe was more the focus for that brand, but as I'm Canadian I'm not sure.
What I know for sure is that most Canadian Swatch Group ADs sell Tissot, Hamilton, Mido, Rado, and Longines. With Tissot, Hamilton, Rado and Longines seeming more common than Mido.
