Philip Stein

Anyone out there with Philip Stein watches.
What do you think about them, do their frequency technology work?

My wife and I each have one. We mainly got them for the looks, not for the frequency technology. They’re pretty rare I guess. Haven’t seen too many out there

I noticed when I wear a Philip Stein watch I seem calmer and don't get agitated so quickly. It seems to work for me especially if I am working on something, I seem to have more patience. In fact I bought a Philip Stein bracelet and wear it whenever I'm not wearing the watch.

Got rid of mine after I got bored of it. The 'frequency technology' was a gimmick at best, at least for me.

I know a lot of people think the technology is just a bunch of crap. But for me it seems to work, I am never with out their watch or the bracelet. I just picked up a couple of straps on the last cruise. Whether it is all in my mind I seem to have more patience when working on various car projects.

Wow that's some bump you did there. Haha.

I do feel like it maybe the psychological factor in your case but who knows. As long as you enjoy it and feel that it helps you, I don't see a problem with it.

I have 2 of them. I'm not sure if it's a placebo effect but the first day I wore it, I felt queezy. The opposite effect of a motion sickness wrist band that does the same thing but using a different frequency. I got used to it after a week but then it just made me sleepy. So I stopped wearing it.

I have heard that from a few other people, making them feel queezy but that went away in a few days. Making you feel sleepy is a new one on me. I also have the sleep bracelet, but don't wear it anymore, didn't seem to do anything for me.
I have a couple watches and 3 bracelets. I always have either a watch or bracelet on at all times. Like you said it maybe a placebo, but it works for me and that is all I care about.

I don't think I imagined feeling queezy. I gave one to my mom as a present and didn't tell her anything about it. She also said she felt queezy as well. If electronic transcutaneous acustimulation works in motion sickness wristband I don't see why this device wouldn't have the opposite side effect.

A health insurance company said:
"Aetna considers transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (prescription version ReliefBand devices) medically necessary for the treatment of post-operative nausea and chemotherapy-induced nausea that is unresponsive to antiemetics and other conservative therapies."

But they list various other ailments that are not treatable by this device as well.
