    Majority of the Shop Offer Great Price and Service. Those popular shops are relatively honest and upfront. One particular shop you shouldn't go AT ALL COST is, !!! *Tai Wah Watches & Clock* !!! I repeat DO NOT GO !!! or even think of supporting this old man or even think he has years or experience !!! He doesn't even have the basic proper tool to change battery. Very unprofessional ! NO customer service and dishonest ! Quoted price higher than other shop ! Anyway this ain't about price, is about work ethic and honesty. Even before asking the price, first question asked was, Can you do the battery change for this watch ? He said "yes I could". I was shocked when he took out his Modified Monkey Wrench out to open the back case ? Ended up he couldn't open and left a deep scratch on the case. All he could said now, he is sorry and he wanted to try ! WTH ! The scratch is to deep and couldn't be polished off. Damm it ! Just sorry ? No Compensation given nor was his sincere when apologizing. Again it's not about the money. He totally ruined my watch and my day. Moral of story be honest and not unscrupulous and your business will go a long way.

    Building is well known for selling genuine watches at below usual prices. You couldn't get better deals for Casio, Seiko or Citizen watches elsewhere at better prices than 3D Watch Trading. Wins Watch used to be extremely competitive but is quoting much higher prices than 3D Watch Trading now. What a disappointment! Therefore the fully packed crowd used to be at Wins Watch is completely transferred to 3D Watch Trading. It's high time for Wins Watch to wake up and be less greedy by charging lower and competitive prices.

    Unless you are looking for specialists to change your fortune and destiny, there isn't much to see in this ultra mini shopping centre whichis located near the famous Goddess of Mercy temple. The site has many vegetarian foods. Apart from a few watch and clock shops, the rest are more for the devotees who want to buy auspicious jewelry, decors and such.

    Nice place to buy watch. The price is unbeatable around Singapore, but you must find a trusted and a good watch store. So far, they only sell original watch.

    Low level shopping experience. No HALAL food cafes available. Suggest to include food varieties catered to Muslims travellers. Few retail outlets available. Good for buying Chinese products.

    If I'm going to Bugis Street, I always make time to go to Bencoolen. Not bad for traveling, especially if you want to buy a watch. Along the road there are also many traders selling various things.

    Stay for away if you want quiet living. The management is simply not able to control their contractors. They are drilling hammering until 1 am at times and on Weekends. The question is if they can't even control contractors, how about safety at night? Anyone can just bypass security and come up?

    If you want to live a wonderful experience and connect with the Asian culture this is definitely a place to go. We could experience religious rituals and see many things we didn't imagine. We have a huge respect for their culture and we really enjoyed the visit. Definitely a place to go!

  • 4/5 Cherry C. 4 years ago on Google
    A place for the discerning shopper. Eclectic range of products, from cheap gimcracks, clothes and faux leather goods. Some good food joints and some weird Feng Shui and astrologer joints where you can consult some well known geomancers. You can get lost for hours just gawking at the weird and wonderful 'art' and decorative items.

    (Translated by Google) #INDONESIAN AND ENGLISH REVIEW #INDONESIAN In the bencoolen there are several watch shops. The hourly price here is cheaper than in Bugis and other malls in Singapore. My advice if you want to buy a better watch here if in Singapore. You must be smart to bargain the price and check whether the watch is original or not. #ENGLISH In the bencoolen there are several watch shops.
