Then again, all of the BF% scales compute the BF% on some kind of statistical average... Also, you'll get different measurements depending on how humid it is, body hydration levels, times of day, etc... The best thing to do is to do it at the same time of the day for the whole week and average the results... Just my 2 cents...
That's what I have. Not too accurate, but the others who posted made a good point: use it to compare your changes based on whatever it reads.
