We've had our aria for several years now. About a year ago my husband experienced a huge spike in his body fat percentage overnight. He went from 17% to 35% with no change in weight and it has been consistently in the 35% range since with very little weight change. Any ideas how to fix it?

I have a similar problem (but different of course 😉 )

I just received my Aria 3 days ago, and right away the first body fat% readout was 35%, and it climbs higher every single day. I thought it misread so stepped on the scale right away again and it jumped to 35.6% - literally less than 30 seconds later. Neither of these readings (or the ever-increasing readings) are close to accurate to my real BF%.

This happened to me as well,  I changed wifi networks, and not the BMI is completely off.    I believe it is a relatively common issue,   Fitbit recommends taking the battery out for 15 seconds and weight yourself 5 times to re-calibirate.   Although it did not work for me after multiple times.

Disappointing to say the least.
