That’s all I needed to track the progress of my training / nutrition week by week.The measuring slide makes it possible for you to take measurements on your own without the help of another person (apart from the subscapular site of course). You simply slide it to the right and as you feel the click you can release the pressure and just read the result.The click felt during the measurement allows for the same amount of force being applied every single time hence removing the human judgement on how much to squeeze the device.As the instructions only tells you to measure the suprailiac site (above the hip bone) and does not take in consideration other important sites like triceps, abdomen, leg, chest, etc.. you could end up having wrong conclusions on how your body is changing in general. You can easily overcome this problem by using any of the body fat calculators available online, where you will find 3, 4 and 7 site measurements calculators. The more sites the more accurate your body fat calculation will be.Just as an example, in my case the difference between suprailiac only and the 4 sites method, the measurements varied by around 5% less for the multi-measurement one as for most people the first place to gain or perhaps the hardest to lose is around the waist even if you have a slim body.For the measurement itself, there is not much difference between this and the Fat Track digital one which I also owned in the past. The digital having the advantage of calculating the final value for you at the end of the last site measurement without any charts but at a much greater extra cost and still limited to the number of sites that it has been designed for (3 for the standard digital caliper).In the end of the day the final number is the least important for me, but rather how much the body fat is changing across different places of the body over time."},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"3.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"F***S"},"datePublished":"7 May 2010","name":"Only just does the job","reviewBody":"The unique selling proposition of this unit is the click mechanism which, in theory, makes it easy to take one-time measurements. Unfortunately it doesn't quite work like that.It is made of cheap plastic, the click mechanism is extremely uncertain, you often have to watch it at the same time. Additionally the instructions for the measurement site are misleading as the diagrams show a horizontal stomach measurement as opposed to the diagonal pinch as specified for the suprailiac skinfold site as is specified by this product (the product photos of this technique don't match the product diagrams).If you google the term \"suprailiac skinfold site\" you can compare the accucheck instructions (they do come up)with everyone else's instructions.I found doing the following fairly foolproof with these:1. Take a diagonal pinch just above the front forward protrusion of the hip bone.2. Let go and re-take three times.3. Use the middle/average reading as your final reading.Using a instructed gave me readings that varied so wildly that the product was useless otherwise. I'll use for a week and if not happy return to Amazon."},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"4.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"W***L"},"datePublished":"31 January 2014","name":"Good for overweight","reviewBody":"I'm glad I took the advice of other reviewers of fat calipers. This one is comfortable and easy to use on oneself, which is unusual for calipers. Just as easy to do on other people, and it has an easy to understand chart inside to interpret the results. The clicker is really useful- a very simple but clever design. I can see it might wear out but only after a lot of use.The bone issue with this is that it's no good for people with low body fat. The finest measurement you can really tell is half a mm. It goes to 1mm so it you have clients with <5% body fat then you probably need a BIA with athletic setting I believe. Good for the price, and so much better than scales for measuring progress and health. I wish more people used these instead of getting obsessed with scales. Body fat matters to health- not body weight."},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"D***A"},"datePublished":"17 September 2011","name":"Sturdy and work as described.","reviewBody":"I had initial fears of this item being too flimsy for use, but I took the risk due to their low(ish) price. When they arrived I thought they felt surprisingly solid, it's made from a hard plastic and is structured in a way that completely reduces flexing when used properly. (which is more than I can say for other items I've tried)The idea of these calipers isn't to press down as hard as you can, which is what most people do hoping to get a smaller number. It has a clicking mechanism that lets you know when to stop pushing, which is highly useful if you're heavy handed. It also has a very useful leaflet with it which includes bodyfat charts and averages, as well as easy to follow instructions of how to use it.I wouldn't pay too much attention to the numbers it gives you, but it's still a pretty accurate way of tracking your % loss. At the end of the day if you want a definite reading it's best to see your doctor."},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"B***N"},"datePublished":"23 February 2016","name":"Cost effective and simple way to measure progress","reviewBody":"Really happy with this. Came with clear instructions and is very simple to use.It may not be 100% accurate but nothing is that doesn’t cost the earth. It actually doesn’t matter, what it is really useful for is body transformers to measure progress. The key thing you want then is ease and cost of use, and consistency between results. As long as you are using the same method to measure, you can track progress whether that method is totally accurate or not.It is a little flimsy and will probably break at some point but so what, it’s cheap enough to buy another one when that day arrives."}],"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.4,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":5}},{"@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I calculate the body fat percentage after measuring myself with the caliper?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"It comes with a chart, but don't trust it.
