Products for Measuring Body Fat

[XD40]

Hey guys i want to buy a tool to measure my BF%. It does need to be 100% accurate, but i would like to get something that is decent for one to use at home. I want to keep it at $100 or below....any suggestions ?

Thanks

get a caliper, usually under 20 bucks and they work great.

How does that thing compare to a caliper? Have you had both done side-by-side? my club has one and i always thought it was about as accurate as those scales (i.e. +/- 3%, which is too imprecise for my liking).

the one you hold in you hand and punch in the number does not work as well as this one...JMO

he's correct, the hand-held-electro one is a few % off, caliper is the most accurate

I've never compared it to anything else.
I just got it as something to follow as I go to give me an idea.
I have heard bad things about every method but the water method that some claim is the only true way.
I have also heard that you need to average all 3

Ya i wish i could find a place to do the water test...but the caliper will do for now

I use one of the handheld electronic gizmos. Supposedly they aren't 100% accurate, but mine is pretty consistent with its readings at least, so I can tell if I'm gaining or losing.
