  1. I dont even know the name of this thing. but i need one.

    It determines the % of fat your body has. i believe all you need to do is
    something simple like stickin your finger in some device. not quite sure
    though.

    I have a weight scale that has this function built in, but it seems
    inaccurate and not reliable.

    Any info on the general name of this device and where a good one could be
    bought would be appreciated.

    thanks
    mike

    I own and use one and have gotten to compare it to calipers several
    times and it's always very close.

    I've been called many things, but never a pimp - first time for
    everything, I guess...

    I own and use one and have gotten to compare it to calipers several
    times and it's always very close.

    I own one too. Got one on ebay for $15.

    I have compared it to calipers and find that calipers give a much
    more reliable estimate than the omron which is very sensitive to the
    degree of hydration. Even if you take it first thing in the morning it
    can vary by as much as 3 points in my experience. The Tanita scale has
    the same problem. Try taking a measurement then wash your hands, dry
    them and take it again to see how much variation there can be.

    I would not rely on it for either an accurate assessment of body fat
    nor as a way to measure body fat changes. YMMV.
