Hi, Just started using Samsung Watch 5 Pro and started taking body composition measurements today morning before eating anything. Noticed that the sum of weights of skeletal Muscle, fat mass, body water is about 16.5 kgs more than my weight as per the weighing scale. Wonder why this is happening.

Because both fat and muscle contain water, part of their total weight includes water weight. This will cause the overall total to be higher than 100%.

For instance, the following stats come from a 172.8-pound man:

Fat: 20.6 percent

Water: 60.5 percent

Muscle: 46.8 percent

Total percentage: 127.9
