I was primarily excited about the Aria specifically because of the BF readings. I had a reading done professionally by clinical method and was at 28% about a year ago. I've since done weightlifting for a year with a powerlifting coach, remained about the same weight and the scale says I'm at 43%. I'm 5'9" and weigh 168. How is this possible?

I am having the same issue.  DXA scan has me at 27%.  Scan was done a few days ago.  Aria 2 has me at 41.2%.  I’ve tried taking the batteries out for 15 seconds and then weighing myself 5 consecutive times to recalibrate and that did not work for me.  Seems to work for some people.

My has gotten bad since I changed the batteries.   It had me at about 27% after the battery change I’m in the 40s, I think there is a calibration or setting change that has to take place.
