review - Charles B. Brown, Mar 04, 2008
Most importantly, the device renders highly variable readings if i take the readings repeatedly at one time. This issue renders the product unsuitable. The device senses when the reading is complete and beeps so this cannot be controlled by the user. The measurements in one spot can deviate by up to 10MM!!!
In addition, the directions are quite poorly written, even though i read the instructions many times. The controls on the device are also not intuitive, resulting in having to read the manual to operate the device. This is time consuming. I have a graduate degree so i think i know good writing from bad writing.

Product simply does not work - Jeffrey Porter, Jun 27, 2007
I tried to calibrate this thing several times, followed the directions, etc. No matter what I tried, this unit was simply inaccurate. I ended up sticking with a non-digital caliper.
The non-digital calipers I had accurately calculated my % body fat (approx 14%) - while this one put me at 4% time and time again (not even possible). I would not waste your money on the technology - stick with the $8 non-digital type.

not bad - Brian Pro, May 08, 2007
For the price this product does the job. At first I thought this thing was faulty because it gave me 3 totally different results.
Once you get the technique of the pinch down, your results should only vary slightly. It's important to not cheat yourself and follow the directions in the box.

It's good but... - P. Pinkman, May 07, 2007
The Accu-Measure Fat Trac II Caliper is a decent tool for trying to measure your body fat percentage at home. I say 'decent' and 'trying to' because the act of using it on yourself is quite challenging if you've never had any instructions with this type of tool. I haven't so it's been a struggle. The instructions included give you a good idea of what you're supposed to do but they don't really explain how to feel the difference in your skin between fat and muscle, which is a key component of accuracy. Also, for a right-handed person like myself, the design of the tool means you have to use it upside down in order to prevent clicking the 'accept' button before your ready.
Nonetheless, because it lets you take multiple readings and provides an average over time - high reading, low reading, etc., you start to get the hang of it. I'm glad I have it as it has helped me understand my body makeup much better but the jury is still out as to whether it's really accurate or not. Overall, I'd give it a B-
