This beast is a spec monster and massive deal if you’re looking for pure function. Just look at the condition, this is a 4 year old well worn tool watch and barely a scratch on it!
So in researching this model I found there were pretty much no videos on it so I had to make one. This said, there’s a fair bit written on the DA44 and it’s well written IMO so I won’t repeat what they’ve said here but links are below and here is the endless spec sheet!
