Those things are totally bogus if it makes you feel any better. Changes in body composition are not reflected properly via bioelectric impedance.

Truth is every bf% measurement is pretty much just a guess with a huge range of error. Far more practical to find some other measurement to track, such as athletic performance (lifting, cardio times) while keeping a loose eye on your weight

Are you saying that digital scales used to measure the weight of a person are inaccurate or am I mixing topics? This is new to me. Why measuring weight should be hard/inaccurate?

And why analogic scales (if they can be called like that) are better?

No, they are talking about weights that spits out a body fat percentage alongside the weight.
