Body fat
Well, for reference I had my last DXA scan on 1/28/18 and my Aria thought I was 22.1% body fat and the DXA had me at 19%. I have my next DXA on Saturday. The Aria thinks I'm 20.3%, so we'll see. I will update after that!
Edited to add: It was actually quite a bit more off for my husband. The scale had him around 12-14% and the DXA said 17%.

Very interesting! I know since I'm starting out I only care that the number is going down lol. I'll worry about the specifics as I get closer, but DH has lost so much already that he's more just curious about where he wants to aim for his goal.

I don't think it is very acvuaccufor someone who lost a lot of weight already.
I have a very good scale but within a few days it can measure my body fat as 15 or 25%. Depends on my hydration, and even humidity in the air. He needs to measure that for a few days and watch the trend for his body.

I have the original Aria and can give you my comparisons (spoiler alert - it hasn't been terribly accurate):
I am a 5'8" man.
180.9lbs
Aria: 21.2%
DEXA: 26.5%
146.4lbs
Aria: 9.7%
DEXA: 6.4%
143.8lbs
Aria: 8.6%
DEXA: 4.9%
149.2lbs
Aria: 11.2%
DEXA: 7.9%
152.5lbs:
Aria: 14%
DEXA: 16.3%
What I've found the most interesting is how my body composition has varied quite widely (per the DEXA and Aria) while my body weight has remained somewhat stable (+/- 9lbs). The first scan where I am near my maintenance weight (my maintenance target is 152lbs) was right when I hit maintenance. I will probably be heading back in for another scan in the next month or so and am at 146.0lbs as of this morning (and 11.9% on the Aria), so I'm curious to see if this correlates well to either the previous weights or the previous Aria BF%.
thank you for saving me the money on a bodyfat scale. was tinkering with the idea for between my dexa scans. now I'm not going to bother.
