It has been said by a reviewer on here that it’s hard to prove if such a device will work, on the contrary it can be quite easily and quickly tested using a cheap household multimeter.
I bought one of these (to be fair it was a quick delivery and was very well packaged) and carried out a test with my multimeter. Testing both unprotected and then being ‘grounded’ with the Belkin wristband showed no difference in electrostatic voltage and in both cases the multimeter read (at that time of measurement) 32.00 millivolts.
On the other hand and out of curiosity, I thought I’d see what the reading would be by wearing a cheap pair of disposable latex gloves (the type that you can often buy with 100 in a box). The reading was 0.02 millivolts! The gloves practically zeroed the electrostatic voltage on my hands proving an outstanding method for use with electrical components.
Conclusion: Forget about this wristband and wear a pair of disposable latex gloves, it is also far more practical as there is no cable attaching you to the computer case etc. If you want proof of my claim use a multimeter and you will see for yourself. To do this have your left hand’s thumb and index finger pinch the negative probe (black) and have your right hand’s thumb and index finger pinch the positive probe (red), set to the 200mV scale on the multimeter and you are ready to conduct the tests.

I am an extreme hardware technician, i hold records for fast build times and aesthetic enhancement to computer systems using only one hand, and my genitals. I bought this product to protect the hardware (and myself) from static discharge as using my genitals to touch a plugged in power supply to ground myself caused much pain and a hospital visit. (must have been a day that i forgot to shake it twice)
this anti static band is really comfortable, i have had no chaffing problems at all, and so far i have not got my pubies shocked off…again.
I will be uploading a Video review very soon.
