DS-2 40mm

How it wears

Wears smaller than its 40 mm case suggests

Certina DS-2 40mm measures 38 mm lug-to-lug on a 40 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 0.95 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 94% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 77% of the 52 Certina watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 43 mm (1.69 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 51 mm (2.01 in) it starts to look compact. Below 38 mm (1.50 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.

At 12.65 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 57% of the watches with a listed thickness.
