About body composition 
How does body composition measurement work? 
The body composition feature works by sending a small and harmless electrical current through your 
body. The current flows more easily through muscle than through fat, so by measuring how much 
current flows at various frequencies, an estimate of the percentage of body fat and muscle can be 
calculated. Everything else that your body is composed of falls into the “other” category, for 
example water or bone. Your body...

4. Your arms should not touch the side of your body, and your hands and wrists should not touch 
each other. This can lead to the current taking a shorter path which can cause inaccurate 
results. 
 
5. Press the button with the tip of your index finger for about 10 seconds, until a tick appears on 
the screen.  
6. Make sure you cover the entire button with your fingertip and that your finger forms a straight 
line with the display of your fitness tracker. 
 
Tip: If you see a cross on the...

You can also set body goals, such as a certain weight or fat percentage by selecting Goals on the

Two techniques that do not assess body fat percentage but that can be useful are BMI and waist 
circumference. BMI is used to assess weight relative to height and is calculated by dividing weight 
in kilograms (kg) by height in meters squared (kg m-2). A BMI of 25 or higher is classified as 
overweight while a BMI of 30 or greater is classified as obese. While BMI may give an individual a 
general idea of increased risk for obesity-related health problems, it fails to distinguish the...
