    They are not. Mine goes up and down by 10%, I think it has to do with my dehydration levels more than my body fat.

    No, they aren't. They're highly inaccurate.

    they have a huge margin of error

    they're ok to track changes over months

    but not short term and not for an absolute believable number

    I wouldn't buy scales specifically for this feature, but I like seeing the trend - same as I like seeing my weight trend rather than my actual weight (which also fluctuates like billy-o).
