Assessing your body fat is an accurate method of determining your level of fitness and health.
This caliper is small and convenient. However, there are pitfalls. As you squeeze your skin fold, there is some variability from one measurement to the next due to its light construction. It is not durable over time with repetetive use and I question its validity beyond a 1 year time interval. Mine broke a little over 15 months at the 'hinge' opposite to the slide rule.
Conclusion
It is a portable, small tool for assessing your body composition but its durability over time is questionable (as is its accuracy).
The measuring tape was great. The caliper itself is not user friendly, you need a second person to help out, and each time I pinch my skin I get a different reading, better off using one of the electrical scales, might not be accurate but better than this torture.

This product is small, but works great. Makes measuring body circumferences a whole lot easier - no more guessing if u made the tape too tight or too loose, and very easy to work with.
The problem with this caliper, is you get a different reading everytime you measure. Why bother to track your body fat when you don't even know for sure which reading is the accurate one, or maybe none of them are. I measured over and over again, and not once did I get the same reading. As far as I'm concerned this was a big waste of money.
Pros:
1. Usually accurate
2. Tracking software works well
Cons:
1. Poor quality
2. Pressure button gives different results based on where your thumb is positioned
3. Unit freezes occasionally
4. Much too expensive for what you get
This little machine would be worth the money if the company would have put a little more effort into quality. The unit feels cheaply made. Mine is a week old and already a button is broken. The unit also freezes occasionally and also sometimes gives crazy readings for no reason. However, the tracking software works as advertised and is useful.

The software would not install from the disc. I had to contact the software company to download an executable.
Once the software is installed. It is adequate, though not very intuitive. They also have online video links that require you to type in with a complicated product ID 'everytime' you use the link with no way to download the video clips onto your system, should you need them when you are not connected to the internet. That is a poorly designed feature that does not indicate to me that this software was intended for a laptop or mobile device.
