is it accurate measuring body fat percentage?

It's within 2%. Checked it before I left to get water weighted, which is within 1%. I was 15% on the scale & 16.5 in the water.

It appears to be accurate and to hold the zero. As with any scale, be gentle placing the loaded tray back on the scale.

It measures your weight and syncs with the app very well. I find the body fat and hydration numbers are not as accurate. I would recommend this scale though.

Yes, it has a setup menu to input your gender, age and weight to measure as accurate as possible your data.

Yes it does give you a reading that is 3 digits right of the decimal. It claims to be that accurate, but I would have no way of knowing. I can tell you that every time I have measured myself, the reading seemed to be appropriate for the amount of alcohol I had consumed.

It's accurate to a tenth of a pound. It does weigh consistantly, so if you step off and weigh yourself again there isn't a difference, unlike cheaper scales.

That 3rd number below that you are probably talking about is the body water measurement. It shows after the top body weight number and the number below that, that is the body fat % and then after that it shows a new 3rd number on the bottom which is then the body water measurement. I hope this helps. Also keep in mind, the directions say for accurate results, you should make sure you are naked when weighing on this scale and not wet or damp.

Yes it is true. I had issues with the sizing but measuring your chest is the best way to do it.

It uses age to calculate body fat percentage, bone density, water percentage, and muscle percentage. Those are the four calcs it gives besides weight.

No, it actually estimates body fat which is far more useful to evaluate progress. BMI is a statistic used to measure likelihood of excessive body fat.

yes, it does and it also keeps track of the % of fat you burn during the session

No, this Pedometer is simple in that degree. Is very accurate in the amount of steps displayed as to the steps I take---I have counted the steps and then checked the Pedometer to see if the reading is the same and is pretty much right on.

It won't give you an exact percentage, but it will give you a number 1-15 (7-9 is average for a healthy male). The percentages are close, I checked mind before going to having my weight checked (water weighting). For keeping track daily the scale works great. Just make sure you program it & follow the directions.

its pretty accurate for me, and I only base that on going to dr's office me and my kids getting weighed and my scale saying the same thing. I've tested it lol

It bases power on heart rate with an algorithm so calibrating it won't make it more accurate Do google searches for more info about how it figured out power what it assumes about the workout they estimate that it is within 15% of a real power meter but it can be +/-

I think it does because it measured the same % as when my personal trainer measured it. This is the one of the reasons why I bought it. I'm no longer paying for a trainer & wanted to be able to keep track of my body fat% & muscle mass. I hope my info helped.

Yes, and if something sounds too good to be true, then its probably false. The only calorie monitors that truly indicate an accurate measure of work are called ergometers. Those instruments are found only on fitness machines (usually stationary bikes) costing at least $2000. The reason why meaninglessly inaccurate "calorie monitors" abound is because customers still demand them. If a brand offers a "calorie monitor" on a $40 fitness machine then its competitors are forced to offer one too. They always give highly overestimated readouts, which makes the machine look (deceivingly) super effective for fitness. I never pay attention to "calories". I always set the consoles of my fitness equipment to instead display either time or cycle rate.
