Just why would you want these non-static in watch and computer work? I think I know but would like a bit more detailed answer than I know. :)

I do not do watch or computer work. These tweezers are for surreptitiously poking people in the subway who are rude, loud, inappropriate, or unhygienic.

Static is actually very similar to miniature lightning. Discharging a static charge into electronics has the potential to destroy circuitry by melting the microscopic wires.Generally speaking, all electronic work is done using ESD (electro-static-discharge) in mind. Google ESD for more info.

Sorry, I can't help you since I use them along with needle point tweezers to handle the (very) small parts in my "N" scale railroad cars.

So that the static you build up on your body doesn't zap the electrical components. The plastic keeps the electrical charge from jumping from you to the electronics; metal tools would allow the static shock to travel to, and damage, the electrical components.

These can be affected by static, had one that was zapped by static from my fingers and it went to full brightness and styed there.

No, that's not normal. I suggest you to plug-in the watch to the charger, that should help. Cheers

Make sure the Watch is oriented correctly when placing onto the charger. I had the same problem at first before realizing I had the Watch upside down when trying to "clamp" the charger over it. Even so, as others have mentioned, the charger does require a bit of "force" to shut it properly. Once done correctly, the display will clearly indicate it's charging (btw - I just got the new Swami Watch. The charging process is MUCH easier on the new one. Doesn't involve this "clamping" process and requires no force whatsoever. IZZO must have been listening).

It's definitely not ESD safe, but so far I've never damage a single computer or component by using it, of course I always use a anti static wrist strap. If you're really into taking care of your devices you can always wear gloves or something but an anti static wrist strap can do the trick just fine.

The display has no flip or rotation feature so you can't flip it over on the other arm (unless you like reading upside down). Also the buttons on each side are not symmetrical so even if the screen had a flip/rotate feature the experience would be different. Finally the buttons are pretty stiff so you would have to wear your watch REALLY tight to use a single finger to press one - I expect most (if not all) folks use a pinch with thumb on one side and finger on the other to hold the watch in place while pressing a button.

could you let me know, the kind of battery that use. i can't see any comment, about battery, so I supposed, that use the standard type for watches, but is not please let me know the charge time, and espected battery time for continuos use

you can't...that is why I returned mine...I was very disappointed in the watch..

It's really inexpensive so you can perform an experiment w some unimportant "test" cards. That being said, I've had 2 of these for a while and have switched cards in and out, hundreds of times. I do not live a static free life and have never experienced a static shock or loss of data.

1. No it should be bare2. Why? The whole point of using the anti-static wrist band is so you do not fry (static electricity) any components as you install them...no need for power or cord to be attached...

Do you use a watch? I just use my band. Is feels like a watch. Not that bad for me.

Hello Diane,You can wrap the strap around your wrist and attach the metal part to any metallic part on computer (like the case itself). The reason for this is so no static fry's any components. Hope this helps!Thanks!

They have actually worked a method around it. It now needs a pulsed signal which this creates. Some types can still be done the old fashioned way by grounding it out. But I didn't have any luck and had to go with this. I hope that helps?

I purchased the system for a friend and he mentioned this problem, but when I checked it out (timer ect.) it did not malfunction on my watch. Now that you have peaked my intrest, I need to contact my friend and get an update.

I have that same issue, I thought at first it was coming from the show I was watching but that wasn't the case. I'm debating on returning it for a replacement. The static can be quite annoying at times...

Sorry, I don't know. I bought this watch years ago and it did not have that feature then.
