best way to check your BF % ?

[username1]

I have a standing scale that gives me a higher number and then I have this Amazon.com: Omron Fat Loss Monitor, Bodylogic Body Fat Analyzer, (1 EACH, 1 EACH): Health & Personal Care which gives me a lower number. Is there any other recommended way to check that's accurate? Or any other accurate device that I can get?

the ONLY way to accurately determine bf% is to be completely submerged in water.. and this type of test is expensive and only not very accessable to the average joe.

the body fat scale etc are all garbage in my mind... if ur heavy they will most likely say u are fat, which is not the case with bodybuilders

So can I just throw a scale into my brother in law's pool?

Caliper is the most accurate/cheap way

Body Fat scales if you use them consistently, at the same time of day. You can tell if your loosing or gaining fat over a period of time. But its not accurate in telling your actual body fat. So the scale can be usefull in that way.
