I thought I would update on this post although nobody seemed to be interested in it.

I have returned them because what I did not know about them was the HR part is actually not something I can use with my heart condition. I did not know that until I received it and began reading the owner's manual before I set it up. So, back they both went because hubby does not want to use it around me. I told him it would be okay, it's not on me and he said no he doesn't want to remember to take it off before bed so it isn't close by me. Maybe more than needed for my health, but if it's bad for me, how good can it be for healthy persons?

This is their warning in the manual for pre-existing conditions.

Consult your doctor prior to use if you:

have a medical or heart condition
are taking any photosensitive medicine.
have epilepsy or are sensitive to flashing lights.
have reduced circulation or bruise easily.
have tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorders

None of this was talked about in the demonstration. I can add carpel tunnel syndrome and other nerve issues to my list of medical issues on top of the heart, lung, and arthritis. Sheesh, why not talk about these things when they are demonstrating a product?
