I had no idea this became top in the Workout Equipment category... I just ordered an Accu-measure and Slimguide caliper. Hope it arrives soon. Can't wait to check it out.

I will also say that I use the Accumeasure calipers as well and for a time (about 8 weeks) was measuring my own BF% weekly and being measured at my gym by a trainer and the results were extremely close (less than 0.1% difference between the two). As mentioned, it is the measurement over time that matters more than the accuracy, but these seem to be pretty accurate with just one measurement.
