Kxbc Turbocharged April 6, 2009 Share April 6, 2009 Now Casio watches also not cheap. I bought a cheapo one for around $50 six months back. If you don't mind really old designs (circa late 80s/early 90s), a couple of shops in Bt Merah Central sell them at around $30ish (I think). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohnemwan 1st Gear April 6, 2009 Share April 6, 2009 used to have one which lasted for ages when i was a kid...now need one again cos need to swim to stay healthy Mustafa. For the sheer range and the freedom to be left alone when you are browsing through the range of what is available, Mustafa is hard to beat. If Mustafa is too much bother then those typical HDB town centre watch shops will also have Casio watches, but the range is likely to not be as comprehensive. The best time to go when Mustafa is almost empty is about 7 in the morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueray Hypersonic April 6, 2009 Share April 6, 2009 should be able to get a basic one from most HDB shops for less than $30. quality is pretty good for that price, bought a simple and cheap Casio for my reservist days and it lasted over 5 ICTs.

Blackbird749 Neutral Newbie April 6, 2009 Share April 6, 2009 Mustafa have a variety of cheap "CASIO' watch. I just bought one for $38/- for work use. Cheap and good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohnemwan 1st Gear April 6, 2009 Share April 6, 2009 Actually Mustafa is quite a fascinating place. Like an airconditioned version of Sungei Road, a rain proof treasure trove but selling new things - somewhat disorganised, crowded and full of inconsiderate people jamming the corridors. Wander over there with an objective of getting what you want without any time frame and you will be well rewarded. The other option is Haniffa along Dunlop Street. Smaller version of Mustafa, same low prices, but street parking more convenient in the parallel streets around and lots of good makan just outside. A bit like going to KL without leaving town.

Mockngbrd Supersonic April 6, 2009 Share April 6, 2009 Mustafa, bought my calculator casio watch there, $25. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scenic98 Clutched April 6, 2009 Share April 6, 2009 Bras Basah complex also have some of those old time watch shop. Those Casio watches are lasting. During NS, hung one of it behind a 155mm howitzer during live firing and it survived the impact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pcslim Neutral Newbie April 6, 2009 Share April 6, 2009 At those old fashion HDB heartland watch shops. The very basic, no-frill casio watch (black in colour - with only alarm, light, stop watch function) only cost about $20+. Cheap and good. I have been wearing that for sports and reservists.

Sgnick 1st Gear April 6, 2009 Share April 6, 2009 The Bencoolen building (opp Sim Lim Sq) so far I come across have the best price and many choices, because of many competitive watch shops there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
