Wait, this actually worked? It worked. Cool.
If you haven't signed up for a Keysight University course, go do it now! Please! That's how we get to keep making videos like this one.
It turns out you can turn just about any watch into an "antistatic" wrist band. More accurately, an anti static wrist strap, or ESD band is a tool for safely discharging electrostatic buildup. It doesn't actually prevent static buildup from happening, it just keeps the discharge current to a safe level.
ESD buildup can destroy your test equipment as well as your boards / devices under test. It's critical to follow proper ESD protocols for your specific situation.
A proper ESD strap should have a 1 MOhm resistance between the strap and ground. It should also have a high resistance outer band and a low resistance inner lining. The high resistance outer prevents accidental discharge from contact with high voltage or mains. The low resistance inner strap gives your skin a good connection to strap, enabling proper electrostatic discharge.
You should also work on a grounded ESD surface, use ESD-safe bags when transporting boards, and keep charged materials at least 0.3 meters away from exposed assemblies.

Wow. Can't believe that worked...
I will be sporting the calculator watch regularly! While you're here, go take a FREE test gear course: bit.ly/KUCourses
@Keysight Labs imagine me in my house with 1 of your product for repair my old computers. But my lucky is 0. Hopefully you view my comment. Now I am work with 4.90€ multimeter.
ESD anklestraps instead of wristsbands work much better, so you have both hands free.
If you had a gold plated Rolex, maybe soldering would have worked.
I came here from ElectroBOOM, and I don't regret it.
thanks for supporting elctroboom
Thanks for the liked guys my most liked comment
*likes
Legend! Re: soldering to stainless, I've had good luck with phosphoric acid as flux in the past. If I were to try again I'd probably look for a commercial acid flux less inclined to splatter.
Okay, I won't use my Rolex since the strap is conductive. What a great blend of humour, and useful information!
Finally, a Rolex with a secondary purpose.
One purpose if you can't read analog clocks
First of all I am disappointed you did not build a spot welder to attach to attach the ESD strap to the watch. Also IMO it should have been in 27dB more money, unless of course you mean power money or that you spent 5 million dollars on a watch. All jokes aside I love the channel! Really nice you guys put in the effort to provide us with this great content!
Voltage gain instead of power gain 🤷♂️
Well afterall they say money=power
Just wear it around your ankle so much better and easier nothing gets in the way
Wouldn't that mess up with heart if he touches live wire?
@@hassanzahin1534 when building pcs live should always be off anyway till your ready to power it up to test
@@hassanzahin1534 when in doubt, work with one hand behind your back.
But really those straps are only for protecting components while handling them than yourself, most of the time you will barely feel esd if it happens while you might of damaged components in the process.
How will I check the time on my ankle though?
Haven't done electronics in a company for 30 years but I used the ankle strap which is much preferred as you walk onto the conductive mat and instantly discharged. Much better than a springy cable that you go to grab something and the cable catches and throws something important onto the ground.
Phizicks you do have to be a bit careful with heel straps when there’s lab seating involved, people have a habit of putting their feet up on footrests or other stuff!
Love the editing
Thank you for this video, hope you guys are doing well i wish you the best luck. I again thank you.
One of my pending projects is a DIY watch. This is a fantastic feature to add to it.
Yeah! Native support for something like this would be rad. I could see a little flip-out connection
Great edits. I want a Keysight oscilloscope sooo bad. Also, Electroboom sent me 🌩 🤯
I've got the same GMTIIC, great watch and awesome movement (if you've checked it out in detail!). Point to note you cannot damage your GMT movement by way of its design during time setting. Liking the mod to the strap, neat idea!
BTW any details on the anti-static detector thing? I'm running the same Keysight PSU in my homelab, loving it so far! thanks!
Like that you used a fancy Keysight bench power supply just for the ground. That's what I do too :)
A quick dab with the tig torch, job done.
Yeah... quarantine woes on this one.
Great video. I'm going to start making ESD straps out of those funny bracelets that claim to increase one's ballance and health...because those definitely work.
Oh, and I'll check out the videos you made on KeysightU in the meantime.
Great video! Another alternative to using a conductive epoxy is using ultrasonic soldering.
Yeah, I did a deep dive into jewelry making after this video! It gave me lots of ideas...
Fun channel. Can you create something that protects/deflects EMF?
If someone was wondering, the music is

Tips for the snap: you can buy snaps in stores that sell clothing parts and stuff, like buttons, needles and such and you don't need to struggle with the strap or heat up the snap so the plastic can release it more easily. Or try to drill it from the back, I believe the back of the strap is something like a pop rivet, it's spreading out and grabs into another metal piece like a strange flower.
Also, look up silver solder, you might find what you are looking for (I learned about it yesterday on The Craftsman Show here on youtube)
Awesome advice! I did go to a couple fabric stores trying to find the right snap but couldn't find one that was the right size!
Did I just completely screw up the maths or is this watch really worth 5M??
I did 10log 🤦♂️
Keysight Labs so is it „just“ 250k?
Haha, more like 10k. I picked up the calculator watch used. This is why dB is so fun
Silly question, Why aren't Antistatic straps Magnet . I guess its because they would slide off? Also how would that work with BPM fit bits etc..Also Doesn't the Quartz in the Piezo alarm make a static shock Nice video by .they way. :)
"54dB more"
Like a true engineer lol
I wanna know who's stupid idea to sell those dumb wireless esd wrist strap?
evil unscupulous felons
Right!?
Great, we can all do this at home! Wait, what.... Can anyone lend me 10K for a wrist strap please!
i would like to put on back order sir !
10:25 "Different welding glue solution" Oh, hey, there's some JB Weld.
Yup! The gorilla glue version smelled really, really bad. Went right to the bin
i miss you mr keysight
Yeah but what's the conversion rate between esd straps and scopes?
Haha, anywhere from 20 scopes : 1 rolex or 100 rolexes : 1 scope
What a coincidence. I happen to have a steel Rolex somewhere ;)
I remember taking a computer repair class 5 years ago and we just stopped using esd bracelets because they aren't really necessary.
You don't need it until you realize you needed it 5 seconds ago
The problem with not wearing ESD straps is that you will get away with it a lot of the time. But not always. And the time when you don't could be the time you're installing a thousand dollar Core I9 processor. The other problem is that ESD doesn't just kill things dead when it happens. When it does at least you know you broke something. But instead it often just degrades the performace of your components. Ever have a PC with "flakey" memory that crashed often and eventually you had to replace the memory? That's the kind of thing caused by not wearing ESD straps when handling components.
@@cdsmith Tell it to my 3 certifications. Never had any issues.
@@iceman7157 Which three certifications are those? I'd like to know so that I can ignore them in the future. The point that I am trying to get across is that you don't know you have never caused a problem.
@@cdsmith I definitely know I haven't ever caused any damage. Someone would have obviously told me by now. And since you just want to insult my intelligence I won't be telling you which certifications I have.
I signed up for classes with keysight, signed in several times, and now, today, it says my account does not exist, 😐
fun channel! oops, I need to change IDs
7:11 Hello operator!
Hi! I come here from ElectroBOOM and I want to say - Give me a metter! - and you have a very good and tiny clamp over there! It was printed?
I could spend 3k on a new Scope.
Or I could get an ESD Rolex... Actually, that's better! 😁
Did you try leaded solder at first? If you did please clean your watch with a wipe. I want to know that there's no lead residue.
Nope! I kept it RoHS friendly knowing it would be on my wrist. Thank you!
@@KeysightLabsphew crisis averted.
and now im registered at keysight university - go ask for a new rolex!
Best👍
Can't say I can relate to the presenter but it's interesting.
When I ground myself to the ground and suddenly a lighting bolt from the sky strikes my house, will this charge the battery of my watch (no more money left for new ones after buying a rolex for this howto)? Also will I still live to see it?
So, ideally it would all go to earth ground and not to you, but I honestly don't know what would happen with that much power coming in...
I wouldn't mess my g shock like that 😂
I have signed up. give me that scope dude.
Gimme da meter!
Hi, I've been designing a wireless antistatic strap, I could do with running a few concepts by someone who knows more than me
The problem with a wireless strap is that there isn't really a path to ground...
Bogdanoff? yes? He bought!
The answer is: spot welding. I'm not sure if epexy won't be the cause of allergic reactions, at least at some people's hands. Prolonged contact with sweat may be irritating.
I definitely would have done the spot welding thing - now I know!
@@KeysightLabs also tiny rivets would do the job.
Ya'll are gold keep it up!
Edit: the units of dB are limitless that was hilarious to see
Hi I received an email yesterday supposedly from you saying I have won a oscilloscope through electro boom and Keysight university can you please confirm if it’s a scam or not thank you
That was me! Not a scam 😅 -Daniel
@@KeysightLabs no way lol
@@KeysightLabs I will reply to it straight away thank you
I'll look for it!
@@KeysightLabs I just replied thank you very much
A good opportunity to remember those dB calculation and what it actually means. I'll start using dB to compare values from now on.
Electroboom gang is here
electroboom brought me here :)
Welcome!
Forget calculator! It should be wrist oscilloscope or at least dmm.
I want a scope
Mee to 😁
I like garfield
Tell your boss that, no lie, I clicked on the video for the hilarity of the title.
Also, I think that now all monetary comparisons should be made in dB. Much more useful than a simple, feeble linear scale
I will now be asking for raises in dB.
@@KeysightLabs "c'mon, it's ONLY 3dB more, not that much..."
You could have just taken the watch's strap pins and then put the watch on the ESD strap. But you still will have two metal places.
Yeah, that felt more like attaching a watch onto a strap than actually turning a watch into a functional ESD strap
4:21 wait wait, *What!?*
Everyone knows I'm the pinnacle of engineering fashion:
th-cam.com/video/SI8DGyl0K8E/w-d-xo.html
lmao that's a Rolex.
How can you have an expensive ESD strap , aren't they free of charge ?
No? You get free stuff!?
@@KeysightLabs Oh dear .
Ok , if it's charged it's not really working too well , word play ?
Tough crowd here tonight.
Oh that was a top notch joke and I totally missed it! I should be discharged from my comment moderation duties.
@@KeysightLabs Are you being ionic ?
Chill , I'm not giving you static about it , just shake off the negativity.
..... can you hear me at the back ?
I am so glad I wasn't educated in USA, (solder to stainless, known fail, its even stamped in the back of the watch "stainless steel back" )
So - as you point out many times - you're wearing a CALCULATOR watch. But when you want to "do the math", you pick up your phone?
Might as well be wearing the blue wrist strap - it may only have one function, but at least you're not paying for functions you don't use!
Yeah, the calculator watch doesn't do logs (I think). Now I need to go check
Hey keysight can you giveaway me a 4 channel osilospope because I'm in doing electrical engineering and became a good engineer
#workmanscomp
How shortsighted is your boss... Not approving the purchase of a used Rolex for a TH-cam video...
Those pesky people with their budgets, responsible use of money, spreadsheets, etc...
Contains sarcasm, in case it wasn't obvious :-D
that's no Rolex I ever saw
THIS is not Doug DeMuro :D
🤣
Well, stop this !!!
3:29 - 3:34 weird asmr but I heard worse
Lol 54 dB
It's a cool project, definitely, but i don't think it's all that functional. The hobbies doesn't wear antistatic straps because they are annoying and not needed 99.99% of the time. And in a official lab or prod-line, where the rules say you must wear an antistatic strap, they aren't going to accept anything DIY.
A little too many cuts for my liking, a lot of them were too long and distracting.
Thanks for the feedback! We're always looking to improve & mix up styles
@@KeysightLabs Sounds good. The video was otherwise great :)
Thanks! It was a ton of fun to make
Oh christ on a bike. Idk whats worst. The districton of this watch or his ability to use tools 😅😭.
Thanks for the input NASA THE POTATO
@@KeysightLabs HAHAHAHAHAHAH your welcome. You know it would be good to seem some out there videos like this every now and then. Idk how well does a carrot work a prob, OMG WILL IT PROBE? (test of many items to see if they can be used as a scope probe)
I've been thinking about pulling out the VNA and doing a "will it antenna?" video. I think a carrot antenna would be perfect
