As the other thread "Body Fat% is a way off PART2" has been closed with another non-answer here is a new home for your observations and comments.
Personally I am happy with a difference of a few points from mechanism of measurement to another one, however I am not happy with a DEXA scan saying low 30s and an Index2 saying high teens.
So in my experience the Index2 doesn't do what it should at all.
My DEXA said 28%
My index2 said 18%
I KNOW mine is higher than what the index2 says.
The wishful thinking are those that think the index2 works.
Why should I spend money on DEXA scan to prove Garmin wrong? That is ridiculous. I bought Index S2 scale so that I don't have to do that. My scale consistently gives me BF% between 20 and 21, sometimes…
And i'd said more...the best proof is that only changing the age the %body fat values vary enormously. Take 2 measure one after the other only changing the age. In my case my BF% differs ~%4
