What are body fat calipers? my scale does bodyfat and weight however im not to satisfied honestly, I weigh myself every few days and I know Im losing weight/bodyfat (mainly cause my pants are falling down ><) however the bodyfat never changes, sometimes even goes up. However, other days I weigh myself and its down a ton now I know drinking water can change it but depending on the day/time my bodyfat varies by like 10%, so can you give me a link or something to the calipers? Honestly, I dont care about my weight anymore more in aim of raising muscle/ losing some fat, hoping these may be a bit more accurate.

Here is what a body fat caliper looks like:

You can get a digital one too but it costs a lot more.
Your electronic scale does a rough guess on your bodyfat and those things are extremely innacurate. So innacurate that I cannot believe they market them saying they work. Point proven just by your fluctuation of 10% on day and night. It takes weeks of strict nutrition to move just 1% below their current bodyfat %
I use my scale once a month for shits and giggles and I use my bodyfat calipers twice a month to make sure I am not gaining any fat. I use the mirror everyday
