Good Scale??

So last weekend I decided to buy a new scale. I knew the one I had wasn't very accurate so....time to upgrade.
I got a spendy Weight Guru scale that tells me my %fat, %water and %muscle mass. I've weighed myself 4 times on it and it's telling me my weight went down (4lbs) but my body fat went up and nothing else changed. How is this possible?? Anyone else have any suggestions on a good scale? This one had really good ratings online but I'm wondering if it was worth it.

    They are all fairly inaccurate no matter the quality. They just give you a general idea. If you want a better more accurate body fat number buy a cheap pair of bf calipers. They are still not perfect, but much more accurate.
