Why is the touch so incredible inaccurate? What is the math behind this showing TWICE the actual body fat according to 4 other measures (BodPod, Dexa, Tanita, and a 7 point caliper test). All of those tests were in agreement by 2%...the Touch DOUBLES those values. If someone didn't have the resources I have to calibrate bodyfat, they would be profoundly disheartened and likely not bother exercising. I can see being up to 4% off, but not 200% off. Did you guys rush this product out before testing it?

I am a competitive athlete with body fat in the single digits (8%-9% generally) and the Touch shows me around 15%. But it is consistently off by that percent, so knowing that it is always going to be offset, I do not worry about the specific number but more if the number is improving or getting worse.
I imagine this is not what you were hoping to hear but let me know if this answered your question. If it did, please mark it as a solution so other can look for it if they have the same question.
