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.
