I have read and re-read the instructions over and over but cannot get this thing to take the "upper" measurement unless I close the jaws completely together with no skin between them to get a "0" reading and then it will go on to take what appears to be reasonable readings on the middle and lower readings. It will not take an upper reading on anything thicker than 1 mm. Overall a pretty useless product.

I give this 2 stars because the tape measure is very useful. The calipers are a joke and a half. They beep and take the measurement at the slightest pressure, which means results are totally inconsistent. Measuring the exact same skin fold 5 times in a row gets 5 completely different results, not even close to each other. I've tried it for a couple days and given up. I'm sorry I didn't order the less expensive mechanical calipers, and simply used my brain to calculate body fat percentage from a chart, instead of leaving it up to this silly electronic toy.
