there are also many brands that did not upgrade the ETA movement and charge 4X less the price of a Tag.

I can't find the G-Shock topic, so I hope this is the correct topic to post else please redirect me to the correct one..

I wish to buy this model. I m tired of changing battery every few years so this watch battery is supposed to last forever.



Please let me know where I can find a shop that sell reasonable price G-Shock watch.

Thanks.

Maybe you can find one that says Tough Solar on the dial.
Those run on rechargeable solar power... suppose to last 3 years without seeing sunlight, with sunlight... forever I guess?

Yes, the rechargeable battery lasts as long as the watch, I checked the Casio website.
Even people lives in Alaska wear this watch with no battery problem for more than 5 years!

The below model has Tough Solar.

For LCD watches, there are 3 important major components a buyer should aware of, the battery, the circuit board and the LCD display. When the company mentioned the battery lasted as long as the watch, did they refer to the circuit board or LCD display? Generally, a watch LCD panel has a life of 7 years. The watch is rendered useless (died) when the LCD panel or the circuit board dies. Assuming the the watch battery lasted 7 years, at that time, when you changed the rechargeable battery it will cost you couple of magnitude more compared to ordinary battery that you changed every 3 years. IMO, we live in a place where battery is ubiquitous there is no need for rechargeable battery apart from the coolness factor which is why you buy the watch in the 1st place

Generally LCD watch display life is about 30+ years!

Using solar energy, and reduce battery consumption is good, saving the earth.

If LCD watch can tahan 7 years only, then how long LCD TV or LCD monitor can tahan? 3 years??

Please read more about G-Shock watches! G-Shock is build to last many years!!

I would like to share a very bad experience with Springwell, Mahkota Parada Melaka. Went there to look at a particular watch model with intention to purchase. As usual, no sales assistant came even when there was no other customers in the shop. After several minutes standing there staring at the display cabinet, i gestured to one of them to come over. He did, albeit looking reluctantly, and walked sloppily taking his sweet time. When he reached, I pointed out to the watch and asked for it to be taken out. He muttered, 'oh this watch 20% discount, no more nego' and ended with a loud BURP! He didnt excuse himself for his lack of manners and went to take the key, i presume. Well, I didnt wait and just left the shop.

Tag, ML, tissot, those nomal brands under one roof. To think of it, I am a returning customer, brother, sister and myself bought watches from them before. I was interested with their oris display.

Hi all,

For those interested in an Oris, please have a look at this:

Thanks.

any idea where can i get this in malaysia??

anyone has experiences with watch winder box/casings?

am thinking of a 4-slot winder from Wolf or Mich&Marc

Only authtorised dealer is World of Watches 2 in One Mont Kiara.

sorry to just barge in like this.

but where can i get the best discount percentage for omega watches, around the klang valley area?

the omega boutique in pavilion obviously doesn't offer the best.

kindly advise.

thanks a lot!

I suppose the salesman is the one wearing coat? that's the boss i guess. He used to talk a lot right?
I used to buy with the other guy, which is his worker i guess. No problem so far..lol

Correct, the one always with the coat..the boss
The other sales advisor is the friendlier type.

Err...you can try Watatime shops. The one in Subang Parade still carries Omega..but not all Wata carries Omega.They usually give better discounts. But overall...discounts for Omega is quite standard..Hourglass or Sincere about max 10% unless you getting clearout stocks.

Good luck...

alright thanks.

would appreciate more inputs if you guys have any.

thanks again!
