I have had several DXA scans and own a Withings Body+ scale that claims to do body fat measurement. In reality it seems to be hooked to a random number generator. I have seen fluctuations of over 2% from day to day, which is obviously not physiologically possible. It's a toy not useful for any real health or fitness monitoring.
