It ranges from herculean tasks such as paying off tuition fees, overhauling a car or renovating a house. Or it could be as easy as doing laundry, replying to an email or in my case, getting fresh batteries for my watch. Armed with my mental list of things to do, I made my way to ARB Time Watch Center with ironically no time to spare. The shop, conveniently located at the ground floor of Market Market was manned by a certain fellow named Eugene. His fingers, steady and solid, capable of winding and twisting showed no traces of incompetence, quite expected for a man who has been keeping the business ticking for the last 10 years. It took Eugene less than 5 minutes to replace the batteries and it was so far, the easiest errand of the day. And because I had some time to spare, I walked a little slower and breathed a little deeper hoping that my next task would be as easy as the one that had just passed.

He's been looking for a reputable watch repair service since his beloved Orient watch stopped working and he didn't have the time or the moolah to have it repaired in the service center in Ali Mall. The old man behind the counter gazed through his bug-eye lens at my lobster's watch, grunted, opened it up, then got to work. We came back an hour later with the watch good as new (they even cleaned it!) and my lobster looking so happy. All for five hundred pesos, too.

I often have it done at some small watch repair stalls that I'd encounter somewhere, but I'm also a steady customer at Three S Gift Shop at Farmer's Plaza. There are a number of similar establishments in the building, but I've always felt a little more welcome there as the staff are a little more attentive and responsive to your needs. They've whole racks of straps there which won't necessarily empty your wallet, and good different kinds at that. I've always felt like the straps I've seen at the bigger, more expensive places (whichever those are) look too cumbersome for my taste. Are they genuine leather? Ask them that. Really all I care about is that it looks nice on my tiny wrists. They sell and repair various watches and clocks too, of course. While I have a preference to avoid bling with a humble leather watch, I'm quite taken with and I just might by this rose gold Casio number they have on display. There's always a booth that sells cheap, discounted watches by the hallway too, so if you're itching for some cheap timekeeper to up your wardrobe, drop by and have a look.

But these are still little machines that lose their function over time or get damaged. Even if the straps might be broken, the hands itself are not moving or the battery drained due to long-term use; I just take my watch to M. H. Burton Watch Repair Services and the repairman inspects the watch, test it, tell you what's wrong and gives a turnaround time when to pick up the watch which is usually within an hour to a maximum- based on my experience. Strap replacement, however requires just 5-10 minutes of work. Since M.H. Burton is located inside the mall, it's convenient to shop around and do errands before picking up the watch.What I like about them is they would explain what's wrong, what needs to be done and how much it would cost, so no hidden charges.Besides taking care and fixing my beloved watches, this small stall also do all sorts of key duplications and sell different hooks and keychains too. The prices are fair and I'm always satisfied with their services
