3rd time lucky as it turns out. After returning the last fat analyser as it turned out to be a fake like the first, I didn't hold out much hope for this latest one. But finally, I've got one that is real!
At first I was worried. When I turned it on it asked for the height, weight and age just like the fake ones. A BMI machine that pretends to analyse fat seems to be very common. It'll ask you to hold two metal plates, it'll pretend to put a small current through your body, it'll wait for a few seconds, then it'll lie and give you a fixed fat % based on your BMI.
But finally this one was different, it did all those things but actually gave a reading that seemed real. I tried it again with a piece of wire, it gave an error! (The others gave the same result). Tried it lying down like it said not to, different result again. Tried it stood up holding it properly, pretty much the same result. Wicked, this one works.
Omron BF306 BODY FAT MONITOR, the cheapest one I could find on Ebay that was genuine.
