I went to my WW meeting this morning and they were selling Points Bracelets. I have never seen or heard of them before. I am curious as to how they work, since the beads go all the way around, how are you able to keep track of your points?

Each pearl or rock on the bracelet is a point, and you have a little clippy thing that you move around the bracelet to keep track of your points during the day. i think the starting bead is different, so you know which way to go.
I haven't bought one myself, since it was very easy to make. Ebay also has them.

trixipup,
Thank you for answering my question. The ones that I did see were white with a black starting bead, but now that I think of it, there was a silver heart, which I thought was a charm. That must be what is inserted between the beads to keep track of points. Now it makes sense to me.
It has 2 black beads which indicate the start of your day. Then five white beads separated by a silver bead (so it's easy to eyeball segments of five). you move the little heart-shaped charm between the beads as you consume points.
I got one as a gift, but I don't think I'd spend my own money on it. It's cute, and some people in my WW meeting like it. At the least it's a subconscious reminder to stay on track, so that's a good thing.
Don't buy the points bracelet on ebay, the ones that sell at the WW centers are 8.95 and some people sell them for 30.00 on ebay and one time I asked why they do that, and the reply was cause i can. Oh well, go to the centers much cheaper.
