This particular online retailer has always impressed me with their low
prices and excellent customer support with a wide variety of products.
Until now I've considered them somewhat knowledgable about the items
they sell:

I can't fathom how this might work.  It doesn't take batteries, and so
what good is wearing a metal object on an elastic band going to do
against static?  I wear a watch with a metal back and band, does it
perform better than this?

It's outside my admittedly minute realm of knowledge.

Perhaps the instructions inside tell the user to touch the metal screw
on the back to a grounded object every so often...?  I suppose the
benefit then is that you don't feel the spark that occurs between the
screw and whatever poor object you ground it against...
