I am uncomfortable with wearing an antistatic wristband with a ground wire. Is there another good alternative protection option? I saw this cordless bracelet
No, not that I'm aware of.Is there another good alternative protection option?
If there's no reference potential "anywhere," what are you worried about? Actually, the anti-static stuff I have seen tie you to the device, not to Earth ground per se.something that doesn't tie me to wires or cables
there is no grounding everywhere
The device will probably perform its intended function: tricking ignorant, gullible idiots into buying one.this video good test? work or not?
Places that build electronic devices such as military electronics have grounded flooring. An employee is required to wear a static guarding smock that has conductive threads to distribute static charge over the person's body. ESD (Electro Static Discharge) safe shoes are conductive to the flooring with a high resistance. Off hand I couldn't tell you what that resistance is but it's up there. As a person walks they generate static. The flooring and the conductive footwear (or heel straps) conduct static buildup to ground. However, even wearing such footwear and having a conductive floor - the assembler is still required to wear their wrist strap when working. The wrist strap (with cord) is the #1 way to discharge static charge.there is no grounding everywhere

Repeating yourself isn't going to get you any more or better answers than you've already received. You may as well stop asking.something that doesn't tie me to wires or cables

What are your specific concerns with a grounding strap/wire? Note that many grounding systems have a resistor built into the wrist band between the conductive threads and the connection to the ground wire. This prevents dangerous currents if things are not wired correctly. IIRC it is something like 1 M ohms. That would limit direct contact with 220 VAC to 220 uA - less than 10% of UL1950's safe current level (3.5 mA).something that doesn't tie me to wires or cables
