I have one. I never use it.

Bioimpedance good for monitoring BF?
I recently got an OMRON bodyfat monitor. I found the measures to be pretty constant throughout the day for myself.
Anyone has experience comparing it to calipers?

My scale has it on it. It's not accurate but I use it as a baseline. I just hope you got it free

Don't like 'em. However finding people who know how to do accurate (or at least consistent) skinfold measures is getting as hard as finding people who still write letters in cursive and mail them w/ a stamp.
Much prefer the skinfold method. If you're stuck, pay attention to how your clothes fit and how you look in the mirror to judge relative improvements.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess what actually matters is how you look in the mirror!
