I'm tired of taking my Philip Stein to the jewler!

I like how my Philip Stein watch looks, but I swear I'm bringing it in for a repair or a new battery every 6 months!

Has anyone else had this experience?

Yes! My battery died 6 months after I bought it. I don't live anywhere near a Philip Stein boutique or a jeweler who sells them so it's been sitting in my watch display box for almost a year.

Ugh how frustrating, and I was looking at these watches too !

I really hope it's not the same for everyone !

Very strange. A watch battery should last a minimum of a year. They usually last 18 months to two years. I think it depends on the movement. Are you sure the watch is OK?

I don't have Philip Stern watches but my watch batteries usually last 2 to 4 years. Maybe you could have a different jeweler examine your watch because that seems much too often to need repairs or replacement batteries.

^ I had been taking it to the (authorized) dealer I bought it at, but maybe I'll try that.

It sounds like you bought a lemon. Do they have lemon watches?

Yes! My battery died 6 months after I bought it. I don't live anywhere near a Philip Stein boutique or a jeweler who sells them so it's been sitting in my watch display box for almost a year.

Don't let it sit too long, the battery could leak and ruin the watch.

So weird. I didn't have to change my battery until about 19 months.

It hasn't just been my battery - although I've replaced that about 3 times in maybe 4 years, twice now one of the two 'thingys' on the side has broken. Boo.

I to have purchased a Philip Stein Watch and the small battery at the bottom stopped working after 5 months. After paying $2,000.00 for a watch one would expect the batteries and the watch band to last at least 2 years not to mention mailing it in for repair and waiting on it for another 2-3 weeks. When and where does the pleasure come in to enjoy the watch; because if a local jewerler touch the watch the warranty goes out the window.
