Garmin has a setting that you can enable that performs better at that end of the spectrum. It's called Athlete Mode or something. Maybe something similar with Renpho?

I’ve used Renpho for a while.. my friend also has them and when he had a medical checkup for work they told him his body fat % was around 5 percentage points lower than his scales were reporting. Neither he nor I are ‘at the lower end’ of any scale, but I took his feedback to mean I could reduce the reported reading for myself by 5%pts

These type of fat measuring scales are better for repeatability than for overall accuracy, so good for monitoring change but less good for absolute values

@Thick_Hollins
Has anyone got the Renpho bodyfat scales? If so, how accurate do you think the fat measurement is?
Mine give me 11.5%, but I just started with a personal trainer at the gym and he said 'your bodyfat must be about 5%'. I'm 193cm, 75kg, and not completely unmuscular so maybe he's right - maybe basic BIA doesn't work at the low end?
