Scale Fat

Is the body fat percentage on a digital weight scale accurate?

The weight scale I have tells you your weight, body fat percentage, and the percentage of water in your body. I don’t understand how it can give an accurate measure of body fat percentage, or even water percentage, if you’re just standing on it with your feet.

It is probably not very accurate in absolute terms but it will tell you if you are gaining or losing fat.
