![]() ![]() Size comparison of the Oscilloscope Watch against the Timex Ironman Triathlon sports watch (Photo: Gabotronics) Charging is done through a micro USB port. The device will function as a watch alone for about 30 days, as the analog circuitry is shut down when in watch mode. The battery is a 3.7 V 400 mA lithium-ion cell, which can power the oscilloscope and related features for a solid 12 hours. The watch measures 2 x 1.6 x 0.6 in (5 x 4 x 1.5 cm), and weighs in at a massive 1 3/4 oz (50 g). While bulky, the Oscilloscope Watch is about the size of a number of sports watches – although I do suspect that the person chosen to model the watch in the lead photo must have a rather large wrist. He has been engineering test units with essentially the same capability as the Oscilloscope Watch for many years, continually seeking to shrink size and price without shrinking performance. The Oscilloscope Watch is a fully funded Kickstarter project coming from Gabriel Anzziani, the founder and CEO of Gabotronics, a niche company among those who are pushing the state of the art in test equipment to smaller and less expensive units. The Swiss army knife of electronics, this tiny test lab (or bulky watch) includes a two-channel oscilloscope, frequency analyzer, arbitrary function generator, and a protocol sniffer. ![]() What do you wear on your wrist, is one-third the size of a deck of cards, and helps you troubleshoot your latest electronics project? The Oscilloscope Watch, of course. ![]()
