"The body fat scales you can buy online are safe and convenient, but they aren't accurate," says Dr. Woolcott, who adds that studies on these devices aren't reliable because they're tested on a small number of people. "The scales underestimate or overestimate body fat percentage by quite a lot.

Body fat scales can provide a rough estimate. However, they are not very accurate. The term “body composition” refers to the relative percentages of fat, muscle, and water inside the body. Understanding how much fat and muscle make up the body can be an important tool for people looking to track their overall health.

Overview of the Study

The results demonstrated that Galaxy Watch's BIA measurement had between a 97-98% correlation with the two reference devices on fat-free mass, fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, basal metabolic rate and total body water[3].

It is important to reiterate that aside from autopsy, all methods of body composition assessment produce estimates and can have error rates of as low as 2-3% or as high as 10-15% depending on the technology and how it is utilized.

As for accuracy, a handheld BIA device has about a ± 3.5- 5% margin of error. To get the most accurate reading when using a BIA, it is best to avoid exercising, showering, drinking alcohol, drinking a large amount of water or eating a meal one to two hours prior to a reading.
