The only thing a wristband is for is to wipe the sweat from your forhead. Most people when they exercise wipe there forhead with there arm or wrist when they sweat. So thats where the wristband comes in place....

For sweating. Instead of wiping sweat from your forehead with your hands, you wipe it with the wristband.

2. it identifies the team captain.
3. It makes money for the company who makes them.

It makes the other exercise fools think that you're really 'into' doing exercise. Wear a sweatband round your head, and a vest. Then they'll think you're even cooler.
