Kupeperusha Saa
Your Certina DS Podium watch is equipped with a Swiss automatic movement. It is powered by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped or has not been worn for an extended period, it may require manual winding to restart. To manually wind the watch, unscrew the crown (if applicable) and turn it clockwise approximately 20-30 times. This will provide sufficient power reserve to start the movement.

- Fungua Taji: Gently unscrew the crown located on the side of the watch case.
- Weka Tarehe: Pull the crown out to the first position. Turn the crown either clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
- Weka Muda: Pull the crown out to the second position. Turn the crown to move the hands clockwise until the correct time is displayed. Ensure the AM/PM is correctly set by observing if the date changes at midnight.
- Kulinda taji: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into its original position and screw it down tightly to ensure water resistance.

Using the Tachymeter Scale
The tachymeter scale on the bezel can be used to measure speed over a known distance (e.g., 1 kilometer or 1 mile). Start the chronograph at the beginning of the distance. When you reach the end of the distance, stop the chronograph. The number on the tachymeter scale corresponding to the position of the chronograph seconds hand indicates the speed in units per hour (e.g., km/h or mph).
