I bought the green version of this watch in the spring. Fits fine on my 6.5” wrist. The end links have lots of curvature in them. The ETA Powermatic 80s are awesome movements. I have about 4 of them and they all run within a few seconds per day. So much better than Seiko 4R/6R movements that run all over the place.

@JustWatches1 Год назад

Thanks for reporting in on the accuracy. I agree and think this movement is far superior to Seiko 4R/6Rs!

@adiwirasaputra4887 Год назад

How about the lume ??

@dustinr16 Год назад

@@adiwirasaputra4887 It’s OK but nothing special. The bezel and hands are a bit stronger than the dial markers. On a good charge it’s visible most of the night. But no where near as good lume as a Seiko or Citizen dive watch.

@keefw361 8 месяцев назад

Would this fit a 6inch wrist in your opinion?

@dustinr16 7 месяцев назад

@@keefw361 Probably on a strap. Might have overhang on a 6” wrist with the protruding long end links of the stock bracelet.

@dustinr16 Год назад

As much as I wish they’d update the bezel inserts to ceramic like the larger 43mm DS Actions, I have to admit the sunray colour match between the dial and aluminum bezel insert on both the green and blue models looks amazing. A ceramic bezel wouldn’t be able to pull this off as beautifully.

@JustWatches1 Год назад

I agree, as much as I like ceramic, aluminum inserts can achieve much more vivid and dynamic colors.

@timetowatch_francois Год назад

Ahhhh chucks! I would have loved to hear that ratcheting on the bezel! 😉 Kidding! It's nice and simple with no "over the top" look-n-feel. Thanks for sharing this one.

@JustWatches1 Год назад

Exactly right. It is everything you need with out anything extra :) Sorry about the bezel sounds, it's one of my favorite parts to record haah

@unixnerd23 Год назад

@iLeetjeeh Год назад

just bought the 43mm version. This one doesn't have the horrible divers extension but actually has one of the best adjustable bracelets I've seen. Also the ceramic bezel is a cool upgrade.

@JustWatches1 Год назад

Oh interesting, I didn't realize the 43mm has an adjustable bracelet. Solves one of my main complaints!

@jinxUKBK Год назад

Great review. Live this watch. Do you know if there is an aftermarket ceramic bezel insert? That would make it perfect

@JustWatches1 Год назад

I am not sure if they do unfortunately. Apparently the 43mm version comes stock with a ceramic bezel!

@GeraldGarcia Год назад

The 38mm size is a win for me and my small wrists, but the clasp is a shame and could be a deal breaker for me. I have its older, bigger brother (the 43mm) and its clasp is much better.

@JustWatches1 Год назад

Yes, I have heard the 43mm has a better bracelet, bummer it wasn't on this smaller size as well!

@MrBacchus18 Год назад

I have 7.5 inch wrist so the longer lug length will make this smaller watch more wearable for me.

@JustWatches1 Год назад

This would be perfect on you if you like the 38mm size!

@keefw361 8 месяцев назад

45mm is not long lug length for a 38mm it's standard. I don't know how you think this is long in your review

@MrBacchus18 8 месяцев назад

@@keefw361 I mean lug to lug is often a more important dimension than diameter in determining whether a watch will fit well on wrist. 45 is okay a little on the shorter side. I have a Hamilton khaki mechanical that is 38mm and 48 lug to lug which seems ideal.

@SeaquartzwatchCo Год назад

First 🎉

@Watchmade Год назад

The 38mm is such a great version. Only con I have is the poor lume.

@JustWatches1 Год назад

Agree, I wish the lume was a bit better! One thing Seiko still has over this one at this price point!

@kma86 7 месяцев назад

6:22 To get a better clasp, you have to get the 43mm version. I was in doubt to get that size at first but I find the clasp to be really useful for my situation that I just pulled the trigger and went with it. I'm happy to report that I' m happy with it, and luckily my 6 ¾ inch wrist looks okay sporting it.

@JustWatches1 7 месяцев назад

I have heard you get the way better clasp on the 43mm - thanks for reporting in and confirming!

@_fiftyseven_ Год назад

I am confused between this and the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80. I have a 6.1" flat wrist and I am scared to get that PRX Powermatic 80 because of the lug to lug. So I really want to know if it will wear well on my wrist. I visited the only retailers in my country who can get me both of these but they dont have one on stock at the moment so I can't wear it to know whether or not it'll fit my wrist or not. So I want to know if the PRX or the Certina will fit my hand better. Please let me know if anyone happens to know, thanks.

@JustWatches1 Год назад

I think the Certina will. The PRX is long lug to lug just because of the way the integrated bracelet works!

@pappanatas Год назад

Have both, and no doubt Certina will fit you better. PRX wears like a 41 or 42 because of the square case and the integrated bracelet. PRX looks beautiful on medium-large wrists. The DS on 38mm is the right pick for you ;)

@keefw361 8 месяцев назад

45mm lug length in certina isn't long. I have a flat 6 inch wrist and can go upto 47mm lug to lug.

@_fiftyseven_ 8 месяцев назад

@@keefw361 The bracelet tho, it extends it upto 51mm

@keefw361 8 месяцев назад

@@_fiftyseven_ that's the centre of the end links that would tilt down. It wouldn't be as much of an issue but probably worth trying it on first for size.

@alexanderbender3082 Год назад

Way too expensive and worse than a Steinhart in every way. Powermatic movement isn't adjustable, so that kills it at that price.

@aaronj.martinleon2733 Год назад

Who told you that Powermatic cannot be adjustable?? There is a false myth about that since this calibre appeared in 2013. Here you have a video where you can see how is 100% adjustable: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oPf042EIyF0.html
