Athlete mode should be used if you have a low resting heart rate, it will effect the outcome. Also, caliper tests are not much more accurate. If they are not done by the same exact person in the same exact places with the same pinch then they can be very inacurate.
I would ether pay for hydrostatic testing ($45 around here) or just use mybodycomp.com. Mybodycomp is just as inaccurate as any of the other methods, but that doesn't matter...as long as you are on the correct track. Your BF scale may say 17% or whatever, but as long as that number keeps going down then you are on the right track.
If you really want to know your bf then do the hydrostatic testing.
