They use bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology. Like many devices, even if they're not 100% accurate, they are useful for monitoring your trend (ie are you gaining or losing body fat). I haven't read enough to get more technical than that.

Not sure if I tried this particular model or not, but I have tried a few and they
are definitely NOT useful for anything but a door stop. They are so grossly
inaccurate as to be completely meaningless. (I have been reported as being
over 35% body fat on them while caliper measurements showed under 10%).
