So far it seems that investing in a good body fat caliper and measuring tape is the best combination. Scales do vary a lot, depending on hydration and how can you know exactly how much you have pro/re/gressed if you cannot possibly manipulate hydration since it depends on so many factors.
Most good calipers have a constant pressure on them, just make sure the same person measures you every time taking the measurements on the right side of the body, and that the 7/14 sites are accurately determined.
I have my bf measured by my training partner once every month and changes are logical and not different than what the mirror says.
