First established in Tokyo, Japan, in March 1989, Owndays is a well known and popular end-to-end optical retailer of eyewear. Owndays opened in Singapore in October 2013, and has quickly pulled in the crowds with its modern, open concept store, attractive displays, efficient and fast service, and wide range of eyewear designs.

Owndays is particularly reowned for their affordable all-in-one, fixed prices on eyewear frames that cost an average of SGD $150 - $300 per pair. Because Owndays manages the entire process from design, to manufacturing, to logistics, to sales, they are able to produce good quality eyewear frames at very affordable prices. Furthermore, Owndays only uses Japanese manufacturers, who work with the latest in optical technology, producing eyewear frames that are more durable, lightweight, comfortable, and fashionable.

Owndays has more than 1,500 designs in stock, spanning 18 brand names, including 7 house brands. Furthermore, they promise a short processing time of only 20 minutes, from the time you select your design, to the time you can collect it! I love the wide range of designs available, and if a design is out-of-stock, staff will help you check if it can be ordered in, provided it's still being manufactured.

The open, welcoming concept of Owndays means you can freely browse the many designs on display easily. Safe to say that Owndays is bringing an eyewear and optical revolution to Singapore!

Update Aug-2017: Returned to Owndays for 2 new pairs of spectacles. Owndays has been doing very well, having expanded across the island. Ambience remains clean, bright, and inviting. Service is functional and polite, staff display good product knowledge on the various options, and will accomodate requests. However, it's difficult to attract their attention during peak periods. Prices have increased slightly, but still remain good value for money, as 2 pairs of spectacles retail for less than SGD $400, due to a promotion for 50% discount on the 2nd pair. Took about 10 days (7 working days) for my order to be ready, as I got transition lenses.

Owndays Order, August 2017

The AIR For Men AR2008-N Matt Red uses the material Grilamid TR-90, which is a lightweight, flexible, shock resistant material developed for medical purposes. The square frames with sharp corners look sleek, and the matt red colour makes it eye-catching.

The K. Moriyama KM1105 Silver Purple is a sleek, business suited frame, whose reflective properties draw the eye. This titanium half-rim frame looks minimalist, the lenses having been affixed with simple screws. Elegant and sophisticated, with a timeless charm.

Update Jun-2022: Having used the previous 2 pairs of spectacles for the last 5 years, I've now returned to Owndays for a fresh pair.

The Owndays AIR For Men AR2031T-1A C4 Matte Khaki Yellow (SGD $258) is square-framed with rimless side edges, exuding a sporty vibe. Made of light-weighted resin, the frame itself is light as a feather with a little flexibility, sitting easily for daily wear. The adjustable rubber nose pads with soft padding offer a comfortable grip, while the contrast of vibrant yellow against deep matte khaki creates a striking visual look. I got the Transitions light intelligent lenses, which are scratch resistant, anti-reflection, and dust-repellent. The lenses automatically adapt to changing light conditions quickly and seamlessly, while offering protection for your eyes against ultraviolet light and electronic blue light.
