I wonder what's the purpose of the blue ribbon / armband like thing?

I really thought that it was a complimentary arm band, as I usually wear arm bands anyway.But; these other comments have provided me with invaluable ideas! This thing really is more than just a band that's too small to wear!

It is to secure the battery storage case in the event of a drop to aid in preventing it from opening and spilling out the batteries. A general drop around the house would not likely cause it to open unless perhaps down a series of stairs. It really depends on how it fell but with the band opening unintentionally is highly unlikely. I pray this answers your question and is helpful.

I used it to wrap batteries that I had changed out of my camera so I knew they needed to be charged.

I'm going guess at this. The end of each case there is a slot that allows the cases to be snapped together, the velcro band could be put in this slot to secure it to a wall, desk or in a camera bag. I do a lot of table top photography and I found them to be useful to small secure cables or other things that need to be secured in the set. Replaces the need for gaffers tape in many cases. Other than this I have no idea why it's included.

Read the responses. But I must add that I use the clip on the One and attach to my watch. It may look "strange" but most that comment say, " Cool, never thought of that". Note that I have a Velcro wristband. Not sure if it work on traditional bands.

There is a feature called 'Tracker' that will report your position to others so they can follow you, or you follow them. It is used in conjunction with a Blue Tooth Smart Phone that has the App installed. I've never used it as I don't own a Blue Tooth Phone. So, I know nothing beyond what I read and reported here. You can possibly 'Google' more info online. That's where my owners manual exists. Sorry if doesn't help.

Its to put your headphones through. There is a small zipper above it 2 put your ipod/phone in and that hole you slip your headphones through. Hope that helps. Its really convenient

What your seeing on the display is when you are wearing the device, when you upload the information it will estimate based on your past to fill in for the time the armband is off. (when taking a shower or charging the device...)

I do not know the answer to these two questions and have often wondered myself why the bands are there. Fortunately mine have never broken and I have just left them alone. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

The wrist band is just one of those rubber 'bracelets' and really has nothing to do with it. I am guessing that it's advertising and we just pitched it. The kick stand works great - you just pull it out and then it holds the phone up on your desk (or whatever surface you have it sitting on). And the touch pen really doesn't 'fit' anywhere on the case. It's just a separate stylus that you can use with your phone. But it does work great and is nice to have if you do use them. This was ordered for my boss and he doesn't use the 'touch pen', but I keep it at my desk for when I have to do stuff on his phone for him. I hope this helps!

Its a device that tracks your head. Mostly to control camera views. Search on YouTube for a demo.

No. One major thing to look at is ribbon placement. Yours is on the other side.

Even though I, like the rest of the responders', did not receive the blue item, I know what it is!!!! It is a "stylus" that is pictured. (a stylus is used for writing on your touch screen) One side goes into the female earpiece/headphone plug of your cell phone, (where you would normally plug an earpiece or headphone into...) and the other side is the Stylus that just dangles! (no real place to put it) I don't believe you will receive this, so I don't know why it's pictured. I hope this helps you! Merry Christmas! Brian Holz

It's a velcro application. Not really designed to be done on yourself, but it can be.

I tossed mine before I realized that it actually had a useful function, which of course was not explained in the goofy manual. The band is a retainer for the power cord. There are tabs on the legs of the underside of the unit which hold the cord when it is wrapped around the legs. The mysterious black band is used to then wrap around the cord to hold it in place for storage.

Funny, I'm had the same question. May be for holding tablet with handle over your hand when is open.

It's a velcro tab that can attach to the entire length of the armband. The smallest it will adjust to is 7.5 inches (I just measured it).

It's to wrap around your waist to use like a fany pack. I don't ever use it, but it could come in handy.

To me, this one seems to run on the smaller side of workout armbands. I don't recall sizes being listed as options so I think I would probably look at a different model/brand. I sometimes switch back and forth between using an arm band and something like a SPI belt. Some people may think I look dorky using the SPI belt if I'm not running :) but I honestly find it sometimes is just more convenient for my gym workouts.

Just a guess: I think they're used as the company's signature reminder that the product improves the elasticity and tightness of the face. I'm just making that up tho, so you might want to ask the company. Meanwhile, I've found these rubber bands useful from time to time.
