I bought this body caliper to keep track of my body fat percentage as a more accurate and kinder measure of my progress with my strength training program. With weightlifting, you can be losing fat while at the same time gaining muscle, so if losing weight is part of the agenda, trips to the scale can be discouraging at times when you are actually making great progress. This model is more accurate that those commonly found in sporting goods stores and I felt it was worth the added expense.
