They do, but you should definitely not get one if you'll be freaked out
by one-two percent bf variation per day. Also, if you have 3-4%
variation in one day, you're likely dehydrated.


They will vary that much in a day because your reading does depend on
things like how hydrated you are, and people are generally more
dehydrated in the morning. Choose a time of day that you are going to
do the reading and then be consistent. And then don't get too worked up
about it. As someone else said, it's good for seeing trends, but not
terribly accurate objectively. That said, I have a Tanita and I like
it, and I think it does me some good to be able to monitor my body fat.

Have fun,
