Just to let future visitors to Legian Bali know, that a seller opposite "Tommys" Restaurant in Jln Werkudara Legian Kaja-Kuta Shop name "Puri Delta" who sells watches, sunglasses and the usual stuff, sold me two watches Tuesday, that only worked for a couple of hours, and when I went back the next day, they wanted 20,000 Rupiah each to replace the batteries, and then didn't have the correct size batteries, and stuck small pieces of paper in with an undersize batteries, and still wanted money! There was about 3-4 of them coming around me and were being very intimidating and threatening, and I felt very uncomfortable.
I said surely you should be able to get a watch that works when you purchase them, but they got me a bit worked up, and I told them what I thought of them, and if this is they way they wanted to treat an old chap like me, and other visitors, that I would put the story on the Travel forum, and they would be exposed to other Aussies,and visitors that read this, and they would loose more sales that way, than it was worth to treat me so unfairly!
