Hi. This is just too good not to share with my Youtube audience. I already shared this on Twitter, but I just had to get on the Youtubes um to share this. It's like, look at this.

The Flake Multimeter watch. It's like shut up and take my money. The The Flake Five Seven Eight True Rms multimeter watch. Obviously, it's a, uh, take on a well-known uh brand who shall remain nameless.

Um, but look at this. I just I. I have to shout out Alexander Schmidt, who's a 3d graphics artist. I'll link any stuff uh, down below.

Here's like examples of his uh, work and stuff like that. and this is absolutely amazing. Obviously, he's uh, I presume an electronics guy of some description because he knows about, um, okay, Flukes And he knows about multimeters. And he's like a watch fanboy like I am, obviously.

And he's created the Flake 578 True Rms multimeter watch And this is just look at it, Look at it. Shut up and take my money. I want one. I don't care that it's fake, I don't care that it's impractical.

I just like, seriously, I would Actually, if Fluke made a watch that looked like this. a Fluke branded watch that looked like this, I'd buy it. I I like. I seriously would.

Um, am I the only one? Leave it in the comments down below. But I'm like, I'm You know, I'm a watch aficionado. Um, as well as you know, a bony meter and a Fluke fanboy as well. So this is just absolutely fantastic.

And it's not just this, he's actually created an animation as well. Let's have a watch Here We go. A watch. Get it here.

Oh wait. look at this. Look at this. Oh stainless steel back.

Look at this. Oh the probes. just plug in voltage detection. We'll talk about that and you change the mode dial.

Look at this. Amps. It's got current measurement supposedly 10 amp current measures. Oh look, these animations are just absolutely brilliant.

Absolutely brilliant Here we go. Here's some other photos. Look at this. I love the screws on there like on the pins here.

Um, that's just that is absolutely brilliant. I I love the like, the uh, the fact that it's got like a mode um dial on there. you can change between watch and then Ac and Dc Volts and Ac and Dc amps and then ohms uh, diode and continuity. And I love that you know it's then it's got the triple display on here.

it's got the time and then as you saw in that video, it's got like a uh, backlight, um kind of thing. when the voltage detection thing kicks in there it is resistance, diode continuity. where was it? and uh yeah there it is. So it you know it's got like a red uh backlight on there which the voltage detection and it.

Okay, so it switches to volts here. So the voltage display is here. It's only three digits is it? Um, it's got time like there and and it keeps the time down here when you switch into, uh, multimeter mode and ah, it's just, come on. How can you not love this? These are absolutely brilliant renders.

Uh, like I. I just love the look and feel of the like, the industrial design of this thing. of course, our fully shrouded banana plugs in here. They'd have to be two millimeter jobbies.

none that. Uh, four millimeter rubbish. Uh so yeah. I like stainless steel.

back distributed by Flake and Sg brand is powered by one Cr2032 and one Sr626 Um. silver oxide battery. 10 bar. Water resistant.

Nice. That's like like 100 meters. if you don't know. water resistant, not waterproof.

Because to get proper waterproofing, you've got to have the O-ring in there. It's got to be greased up and it's got to be properly engineered and stuff like that. And you use those phillips, um, screws everywhere and look, look, look, it's just. ah, thing of beauty.

It's a joy forever. Unbelievable. Unbelievably sexy. This is just pornographic.

It really is. I would so buy it. I don't care that this is fake. I don't care.

That's impractical. This, If you put this video and these photos up on kickstarter or indiegogo, this is a million dollar Kickstarter, right? People are just. I don't care. That's impractical.

People would just buy it because it's absolutely cool. Um, am I the only one who thinks this is fantastic? Got a lot of traction on Twitter so a lot of people agree that this. A lot of people didn't get it. They didn't get that.

This is. you know. I think it's got a stainless steel back and you know it's not blah blah. It's him.

Yeah, it's completely impractical. Um, but it's It's just great. I want one anyway. He's done another one.

Uh, this was actually done back in 2015.. So this is like six years ago. The Flake. Uh, that? this one's the Five Seven eight? Uh, is it? yes, the Five Seven Eight.

And this one's the Three Seven Eight. So here we go. Let's have a watch. Let's have another watch of this one.

Um, it's different. Have a look. It's got that brushed stainless steel look at that. Fantastic.

The Flake 378 True Rms multimeter watch. Look. It opens up and then you plug the probes in the top and it's got your traditional traditional mode dial. It's just great.

It's great. It's got the months in there and uh yeah. and it's got. you know, traditional like, uh, like Lcd display at the top.

Bar graph: you've got bar graph and then your multimeter buttons. your hold your range button min max. Um, yeah. levity like that's not.

I got to admit that's not a sec that is not as sexy as the 578, but come on, come on like that's pretty good. It's got the different like the Mo dials and everything. and uh, it's got a separate amps jack of course. Um, because you've got to get you know, just the design of the thing you want to.

uh you know you don't want to have to like do electronic switching for your current and stuff like that and like your traditional mode dial like that. So you push your button down here and it changes. changes your multimeter mode. oh come on.

but yeah that I'd I'd buy that one too. But yeah, I think I think this one just ah, it's brilliant, Looks rugged industrial. it looks fluke-like um absolutely brilliant And a lot of some people on Twitter said oh Fluke should sue him and it's like this is fan art. Um, absolutely brilliant.

Fluke should not sue him. They should hire him. I'm serious. Fluke should hire Alexander Schmidt to do like, like in-house graphic, uh, design and stuff like that.

Um, because this is absolutely gorgeous. I just love this. I love the industrial design of it. I would totally buy it.

Anyway, let's talk about the practicality of a watch like this. Obviously it's completely impractical and obviously like, even if you could like make this with the probes and everything that plugged in and no doubt you could probably like, you know, there's devils in the detail. Look, I mean like like it's it's got a screw right here. Like where you actually plug the shrouded jack in.

It's like, you know, like it just looks fantastic. It's you know. But from a practical, uh, point of view, that's probably not possible. You'd you know, have to make it thicker.

You'd have a flatter like it's It's obviously like it concaves in like that. You know to have the hands and everything else and it's just like you wouldn't have it that slim. Can we have a look at the side? like yeah, like you're not going to get it that slim and look how much it has to drop inside like that. and the shroud of banana plugs and stuff like that.

Like you might have to get away with like just the the two millimeter pin. uh, jobbies, not the uh, shrouded ones. And it's completely impractical. And of course, yes, you wouldn't have a stainless steel back on the thing.

Um, just from a safety viewpoint you wouldn't have that. But and like, and of course the whole concept of a multimeter watch is completely and article utterly impractical. Because you wouldn't uh, like you know, carry around the probes with you. Like if you're gonna do that, you might as well get like a proper pocket multimeter.

like why would you have it on the watch. But I do contend though, that I would totally buy a watch that had a non-contact voltage tester in it. Leave it down in the comments down below. Do you agree? Would you buy a watch that looked you know, like a fluke watch or something you know, or some other or a brim and brand watch or something you know that that actually you know looked that came from your favorite multimeter manufacturer? Whoever that happens to be.

If they made a watch that had a non-contact voltage detection thing you know, obviously like you would have to have like if I was going to do it you would have like internally you would have like the metal um sensor up the top like this. You know usually they're like a little you know sensor about, you know, centimeter long or something like that. So I I actually have little doubt that you could build a practical uh, voltage detection stick into a watch. I think it could be done.

I think it's possible should I try to design a watch? I mean it's not the first time I used to sell my micro calc. um I'm sorry. My micro watch, um, a calculator watch uh kit for example is it? You know it's I'm pretty sure it would be possible. Leave any comments down below your thoughts on this, but I reckon you could build a non-contact voltage detection into a watch.

Obviously, you wouldn't build a multimeter in. uh, somebody pointed out on Twitter that there's a key. there was a kickstarter last year or something for a an oscilloscope watch and obviously like just completely silly and impractical idea, right? But um, like so. but I I would just buy it.

even if it didn't work. I would still buy that because it looks like a multimeter right? I would say I would totally buy it and and maybe you could get like the it'd be great if maybe uh you could get like an analog version. so move the hand. you know like move the second hand to point to the you know you get to have like a little mirror on there to you know uh to reduce the parallax error and you know oh man uh maybe you know if he if he ever watches this maybe he can do like a render for like an analog version of this watch.

oh that'd be that'd be fantastic. But seriously like I would buy that I would buy that even if it was fake. even it was fake. let me know, would you actually buy this watch if it like even if it's got like flake of branding and stuff.

obviously if you tried to do this you know fluke might like sell this product. Fluke might actually um sue you because it like even though it's not using the Fluke trademark or it's not, You know it's kind of implying the fluke. You know it's it's implying the look and feel. You know.

So I'm not sure about that from a legal point of view. Although in China you can buy the Fuke multimeter. Famously, it's a Fuke multimeter. They actually sell it.

Apparently you can buy it on Aliexpress somewhere. The multimeter should get one. Do a tear down of a Fuk multimeter. I think I'm pretty sure it's real and that actually exists.

Um, because I've seen various. Um, I've seen it around over the years. So, but this is just. ah, this is fantastic.

This is fantastic. Obviously, you didn't have to go analog Like if you were going to do this, you would go like full digital. Um, you wouldn't like the analogs and putting the analog stuff in here and having the multimeter stuff is hard and obviously you can't do current and obviously you're not going to be able to do like 10 amps because you're not going to get a like a decent replaceable 10 amp fuse inside this thing, let alone the volt. You know the arc over, and and all the safety stuff involved in this.

from a practical point of view, I think if you did it as a digital watch, if you did it as an analog, you would certainly have to make it a hell of a lot thicker. Even if you did it as a digital, you'd have to make it a hell of a lot thicker, but it wouldn't look as good, wouldn't look as good. But I just love the ring on there like you know and I love the like. Like the little knurled, you know, attention to detail on the knurled stuff and and it's got on the knobs on the buttons as well.

It just it just looks so good. It looks so good. It really does. I would so buy that.

Oh oh, it's just pornographic It really. And it's got a resin strap and like. I just love the color scheme as well. I would.

I would rock that. I really would either. That would be my daily wear if I had that. If you want to know what my daily wearer is at the moment, I've got a uh, Here it is.

It's a Citizen Ek. Drive there it is. Let's go. let's go Full screen.

This is my daily driver at the moment. I've gone on like an analog thing at the moment. you know I. I generally am speaking a digital watch fanboy, but I've gone on an analog watch binge in recent times.

So yeah, that's actually um, solar powered. So, but I I love it because it's really thin, right? It's a really thin watch and I've got a pretty small wrist. So um, I I did. Actually this is not the stock band on it.

Um, I I actually got this uh band, uh, third party one. but I really like the uh look of the band on that. So anyway, that's uh yeah. Widget? not connected.

Yeah, because yeah, oh yeah, definitely got the i got the wrong camera mode up. Sorry. Anyway, the fake multimeter watch. Shut up and take my money.

Really. Let us know your thoughts down below because they're oh I just like and these others. So yeah, Check. Hats off to Alexander Schmidt.

I think Fluke should hire him. Seriously. he does awesome. Uh, you know, product renders.

He's a 3d artist and this is. this is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Real. I don't care that it's impractical, but I reckon.

yep, let us know down below. I reckon a watch that you know, uh, had a non-contact voltage tester. I think you could probably a non-contact voltage tester. You could fit it in that sort of form factor.

you know, with the analog thing. But I you know, once you get into the intricacies of watch design, it's fit. To envelope designers is really difficult. Um, because just the analog portions of these take up so much space.

There's so much engineering, uh, involved in you know, making a good, actually being able to build and construct a practical watch like this. But wonder if you just gave this to some you know company and said build me this? Yeah, like that freak. It's like they can scratch their head for a week and come back and say can't do it But it's oh man, I so want it. I so wanna even it was fake because you could do this as a fake watch.

You could totally build that exact I'm I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure. Yep, you could build that exact form factor watch. You're whacking a cr. um, you know, uh, 1616 cell in it or something.

um 2032. Of course. if you don't know the numbers, the Cr the the 20. The first two digits is the diameter 20 millimeters and then the last two digits 32.

That's actually 3.2 millimeters thickness. So that's why a lot of watches will use like a 1616 battery because it's 16 millimeters by 1.6 millimeters. Um, and yeah, it's it's great. I would.

I. I so want to rock that it just looks so great. The industrial design, I'm just. I'm blown away.

Absolutely blown away. I want a Flake Multimeter Watch Off Luke. If you're watching, seriously, like have a have a branded watch. Get into the yeah? Get into the well.

It's not mer. You know, kind of get into the merch business. You know, like because people have, oh, what's what's? that red dot on the top? I didn't see that, is that in the video? I didn't see the red dot go. Maybe maybe it's high voltage lead? Oh no, no, no, no, no, it's just a marker.

It's just right. It's just. I think it's just a, uh yeah. I think it's just a marker thing.

Like to signify that the mode, not that it's You know, not obvious that the mode is the one up the top, you know, but you know you've got to make it. You know, make it obvious, I guess. Um, but I so want one anyway. Let us know your thoughts.

Comments down below please. The Flake 578 True Rms Multimeter Watch that gets two thumbs up in the Big Fonz. Catch you next time.
