You know, the kind of scales that analyse your weight and BF%?
I know they aren't completely accurate but I'd like some

The best way to accurately get bodyfat % is DXA scan, however that tends to be costly unless you can get a local university to use you as a test subject
Calipers are next $10 and lots of youtube videos on how to use them correctly. I purchased a Omron 306c for $30 from Amazon (handheld) tends to be +-1% from calipers if used correctly and it takes 30 seconds. The ones you get built into traditional scales are highly inaccurate.

I have used this scale http://www.amazon.com/Omron-HBF-514C-Composition-Sensing-Monitor/dp/B0020MMCDE/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&srs=2530054011&ie=UTF8&qid=1346947418&sr=1-1&keywords=scale for 18 months and it was what the company that I was doing weight loss coaching with. It is amazing! I also did a scan with a nutritionist to calibrate for me and a friend and it was right on.0

been very happy with the Withings scale and it appears accurate enough for me. Also feeds the data to my fitbit which is nice.0
