I've never really given a shit about the body fat ratio thing, not even when I was doing serious strength training. Have I been able to squat/deadlift/bench X kg? How do I look? How do I feel? How do I find trousers that won't split when I bend over but still fit me? Should I have cancelled today's gym session given that I got shitfaced at Harry's stag do last night and now, halfway though the squat reps, it feels as if my brain is going to leak out through my ears? Those were the important questions. Even if there were a reliable way to measure it (there isn't), I wouldn't care much about it.

Yeah, what I remember from calipers is that consistency is the goal.
I've had a really shit time with my Garmin scales...they are good for weight but make up the rest. Not consistently either. If they were consistently wrong I'd be happy with them.
