I have been using the Body Scale for a long period. Usually my Body Fat % lies around 8 - 9 % and my Muscle Mass % around 85 - 88%. It has been constantly around these values for couple of years. Yesterday my values were in the expected range. But today the scale is showing a drastic change:
Body Fat % = 19 %
Muscle Mass % = 76,9 %
It is just too big change between two days to be accurate.
Why is the scale reporting this kind value?

Maybe the wrong measurement was due to dehydration after a run? I did measure my weight right after a threshold run (13 km) and the scale showed the wrong value. After 1 h and some re-hydration, the measurements were back to the normal interval.

Try to clean the surface of the scale using a lint-free cloth moistened with water. The best time for you to weigh yourself is after taking a bath so the moisture level of your feet is good. If nothing happens, I suggest you contact them directly via this link https://within.gs/help.

Yes, exercise changes the values significantly. Withings recommends weighing yourself about 30 minutes after waking up or at least 3 hours after exercise to give your body time to revert to normal metrics.
