I changed my watch battery here. It is a simple watch but with sentimental value. It turned out to be a huge mistake and I post this as a caution.

Been buying from them for +20 years. This is a family-owned business. They are very friendly. No airs & they treat every customer like old customers. They carry massive range of watches, clocks & pens. However, if you have something in mind & they can source it for you.

Friendly family business with a great selection of Casios, Seikos, Citizens and more, located just behind Prestige Time.

Bought an Orient Bambino here today and the auntie was super friendly! Got it at a decent price. Would come here again to buy more watches in the future. Old school watch shops like these are local gems and are slowly going away so do support them!

Visited the shop to replace the battery for my Titus watch but ended up getting a Citizen timepiece for myself thanks to the ongoing sale! The staff are all so friendly, it really made me so happy that I purchased something.
