    No, according to the product description page on the 24 hour fitness site, it does not measure body fat:

    The things that bodybugg does do are as follows:

    * pedometer/accelorometer: The armband contains an accelerometer. The accelerometer measures motion, such as steps being counted. It measures how you move from multiple perspectives to give a fuller understanding of movement. Steps are counted using the accelerometer to measure the distinct patterns created by running and walking. It is really much more than a pedometer actually.
    * galvanic skin response: When you sweat, your skin becomes more electrically conductive. This measurement helps the device understand how active you are.
    * skin temperature: There’s an electronic thermometer inside your armband that helps you know how hot you are.
    * heat flux: When you move, your muscles produce heat. You measure the heat that’s flowing from your body into the environment.

    There is a good article right here on this site that I thought explained it very well. I made a link here< Click Here for Article>
