Watch 5 body composition measurement is way off

[Mechajin]

Is there any way to improve the accuracy of the body composition measurement?

I'm a power lifter, so quite big but mostly muscle. Using calipers I have a body fat percentage of 19% but using the watch it thinks I have 31% body fat. That's not just a little inaccurate, that's way off. Up or down 1-2% is no big deal but 12% makes it unusable.

Any way to improve accuracy?

Try GymRun. It's what I use. It records the workout as "weight machines" or "other" (you choose) + HR + Calories and syncs it to Samsung Health automatically after finishing your sets!

I completely agree. I have verified 14% BF; however, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 measures me at 22.5%. Why would Samsung even have an app that is this inaccurate? There is, of course, no physiological way that the watch can give an accurate impedance reading through two fingers; however, Samsung could have...at the very least, included some standard body measurements in their algorithm to come up with something a little more realistic. In its current iteration, it is utterly useless.
