In this guide, we will answer all these questions and more. We will show you how to use your Certina DS Podium watch step by step, with clear instructions and illustrations. We will also provide you with some tips and tricks to get the most out of your watch.

Winding Your Watch

Your Certina DS Podium watch is an automatic watch, which means it is powered by the movement of your wrist. However, if you have not been wearing your watch for a long time, you may need to manually wind it to restart it. To do this, follow these steps:

Unscrew the crown into position IB (if your model has a screwed crown).

Turn the crown clockwise a few times until you feel some resistance.

Screw the crown back down into position IA (if your model has a screwed crown).

To fully wind your watch and restore its power reserve of more than 42 hours, you need to turn the crown about 32 times clockwise. You can also tilt your watch from side to side a few times to start the winding mechanism.

Setting the Time

To set the time on your Certina DS Podium watch, follow these steps:

Unscrew the crown into position IB (if your model has a screwed crown).

Pull the crown out into position III. The seconds hand will stop at this point.

Turn the crown forwards or backwards until the hands display the correct time.

Push the crown back into position I/IB and screw it down (if your model has a screwed crown). The seconds hand will resume its movement.

Note: When setting the time, make sure you distinguish between midnight and midday. You can tell by looking at the date display. If the date changes when the hour hand passes 12 o'clock, it means it is midnight. If it does not change, it means it is midday.

Setting the Date and Day

To set the date and day on your Certina DS Podium watch, follow these steps:

Unscrew the crown into position IB (if your model has a screwed crown).

Pull the crown out into position II.

Turn the crown clockwise until the correct date appears in the date window.

Turn the crown counterclockwise until the correct day appears in the day window (if your model has a day display).

Push the crown back into position I/IB and screw it down (if your model has a screwed crown).

Note: Do not set the date or day between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m., as this may damage the mechanism.

Using the Chronograph Function

Your Certina DS Podium watch has a chronograph function that can measure elapsed time up to 12 hours with accuracy. To use this function, follow these steps:

Press the push button A to start or stop the chronograph.

The central hand C will count seconds, while the subdial hand D will count minutes and the subdial hand E will count hours (depending on your model).

To reset the chronograph, press the push button B. The hands will return to zero.

Note: You can also use the tachymeter scale on the bezel (if your model has one) to measure speed or distance based on time. For example, if you want to measure your average speed over a distance of one kilometer or mile, start the chronograph when you pass a marker and stop it when you pass another one. The number indicated by the central hand C on the tachymeter scale will be your average speed in km/h or mph.

Maintaining Your Watch

Your Certina DS Podium watch is designed to last for many years, but it requires some care and maintenance to keep it in optimal condition. Here are some tips to follow:

Clean your watch regularly with a soft cloth and lukewarm water. Avoid using any chemicals or abrasive materials that may damage the surface or the seals.

Have your watch checked by an authorized Certina service center every 3 to 5 years, or whenever you notice any malfunction or damage. They will perform a complete service, including cleaning, lubricating, adjusting and replacing any worn-out parts.

Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, magnetic fields, shocks, vibrations or corrosive substances that may affect its accuracy or durability.

Do not open the case back or attempt to repair your watch by yourself. This may void the warranty and compromise the water-resistance and the DS concept.

Choosing Your Watch Strap

Your Certina DS Podium watch comes with a variety of strap options, such as leather, rubber, metal or fabric. You can choose the one that suits your style and preference. Here are some tips to help you choose and care for your watch strap:

Leather straps are elegant and comfortable, but they may wear out over time due to humidity, sweat or friction. To prolong their lifespan, avoid exposing them to water, heat or direct sunlight. Clean them gently with a soft cloth and leather conditioner.

Rubber straps are durable and water-resistant, but they may lose their elasticity or color over time due to exposure to chemicals, cosmetics or UV rays. To keep them in good shape, rinse them with fresh water after contact with salt water or chlorine. Wipe them dry with a soft cloth and avoid using any solvents or detergents.

Metal straps are sturdy and stylish, but they may scratch or tarnish over time due to corrosion, oxidation or abrasion. To prevent this, clean them regularly with a soft brush and mild soap. Rinse them with fresh water and dry them thoroughly. Avoid contact with magnetic fields or acidic substances.

Fabric straps are casual and versatile, but they may fade or fray over time due to washing, rubbing or perspiration. To maintain their appearance, wash them by hand with mild soap and cold water. Do not use bleach or tumble dry. Iron them lightly if needed.
