FAQs
What is the power reserve of the Powermatic 80 movement?
The Powermatic 80 movement offers an impressive power reserve of up to 80 hours, meaning it can keep running for over three days without being worn or wound.
Is this watch suitable for swimming?
Yes, the DS Action watch is designed with significant water resistance, making it suitable for swimming and water sports. Always ensure the crown is properly secured before entering water.
How do I clean the stainless steel bracelet?
Clean the stainless steel bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For dirtier areas, use a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly afterward. Avoid using soaps or harsh cleaners.
Does the watch have a hacking feature?
The Powermatic 80 movement typically features a hacking mechanism, which means the second hand stops when the crown is pulled out to the time-setting position, allowing for more precise time synchronization.
What is the DS Concept?
The DS Concept (Double Security) is Certina's system for ensuring enhanced robustness and water resistance. It includes reinforced case backs, specific gasket designs, and scratch-resistant sapphire crystals.
How often should the watch be serviced?
It is generally recommended to have a mechanical watch like this serviced every 3 to 5 years to maintain optimal performance and ensure all seals are in good condition.
Can I wear this watch for formal occasions?
Yes, the elegant black design and 34.5mm size make the DS Action Powermatic 80 a versatile timepiece that can be worn for both casual and formal events.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped running
Ensure the watch has been wound sufficiently. If manual winding is required, turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. If the issue persists after wearing it for a day, the watch may require servicing.
Inaccurate timekeeping
Automatic watches can have minor variations. If the inaccuracy is significant (more than a few seconds per day), ensure the watch is fully wound. If the problem continues, it may need regulation by a watchmaker.
Difficulty setting time or date
Gently pull the crown to the correct position for setting time or date. Avoid forcing the crown. If it feels stuck, do not attempt to force it, as this could damage the movement.
Condensation under the crystal
This indicates a breach in water resistance. Remove the watch from any wet environments immediately and have it inspected by a qualified watch repairer to prevent internal damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The watch utilizes an automatic movement, meaning it self-winds through the motion of the wearer's wrist. If the watch has stopped, you can manually wind it by turning the crown clockwise about 30-40 times while it is in its closed position. Set the time and date by pulling the crown to the appropriate positions. Ensure the crown is pushed back in securely to maintain water resistance.
Compatibility: This is a purely mechanical wristwatch and does not rely on electronic compatibility with other devices. It is designed to be worn by anyone regardless of their technological ecosystem.
Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of your Certina DS Action watch:
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Water Resistance: Always ensure the crown is screwed down or pushed in fully before exposing the watch to water. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures or steam, as this can compromise seals.
- Servicing: It is recommended to have the watch professionally serviced every 3-5 years to ensure the optimal performance of the movement and seals.
