Wearing your Philip Stein watch. I wish I could just give it a test run to see if it really makes a difference because I want a Michele watch but I like the Philips too. I don't know what to do so if anyone owns this watch please share your experiences with me! Thank you

Why would it make you calmer...?

Is it being sold that way...? Sorry for asking.. just never heard it before.

It's supposed to help you not be stressed, be calmer, concentrate better, ect. No clue if it actually does any of that stuff, but those are the claims.

In the beginning, when I got mine, I thought I slept better. Then it didn't seem to be the case. Anyway, I got it for the looks, not the calming effect.

I have one (actually, it's back at Philip Stein for repairs) but I can't say it does anything but look good when I wear it!

VuittonsLover · Aug 4th, 2008, 02:52 PM

its gorgeous.. i want one.

but can't imagine how it would make you calmer... unless you listen to the ticking.. and try to go into a deep trance.

Supposedly, the "Teslar" chip in the back of the watch gives off some sort of electromagnetic signal that's supposed to calm you. I've never tried it, but personally, I think it's a probably a crock. Nothing like a good dose of quack gimmickry to sell a watch!

windycityaj · Aug 4th, 2008, 06:25 PM

Yeah, even though I own 2 PS's, I can't say I feel any calmer wearing them.

bhurry · Aug 4th, 2008, 10:22 PM

I have a PS, and I didn't feel any calmer when I wore it. I think, it's all in the mind.

I have a Philip Stein watch but apparently it isn't a Teslar? My friend said her PS Teslar watch changed her life. I bought one just a little while ago and haven't noticed a difference at all. I guess you have to order an older one to get it with Teslar chips? Does anyone know?

Mary_Swe · Feb 16th, 2009, 02:44 PM

What?! Never heard anything like that, that´s something new....

CoutureCrazed · Feb 16th, 2009, 06:44 PM

I heard about the "chip switch" or the "stein scam" that has been going on. My friend works for Neiman Marcus and said they have had problems with people coming in and asking a lot of questions about the Teslar chips in the watches. She said there is one new Philip Stein watch that they have in her store that doesn't have a Teslar chip. She didn't know this until some lady trying to buy one explained it to her. The store manager didn't even know! They have been packaging the Philip Stein watches that aren't Teslar with all Teslar branded stuff! Hahaha... silly billionaires forgot (?) to explain to everyone that they have a new product?! Seems super sketchy to me! Either way... there was only 1 out of about 30 watches that wasn't Teslar.

I think it's all in the head.. similar to how a placebo works.

Olove · Feb 16th, 2009, 07:40 PM

But the real TESLAR watches really work!! It's the new Philip Stein version that has no "REAL" science behind it! I want a real one.. Help!
