So they have a scale at the gym (this one) https://www.amazon.com/Tanita-BC-418-Segmental-Composition-Analyser/dp/B000FHZGL6
How accurate are they at measuring Body fat, BMR, Muscle mass etc.

According to the scale my BMR is 2598, but according to apps/calculators I've tried it's 2-2200 (1600 on google fitness). Which one is it?
I'm: 20, 6'5, 218lbs (17%bf if trusting the scale).

I'm just a bit confused because everywhere seems to say different.
If I add exercise and walks I'm burning 4000+ cal/day, 2600 inactive, 800 walking (about 2 hours), ~800 gym (lifting + 30min crosstrainer). Could that be correct?

Right now I'm eating about 1500-2000 cal / day, but should probably eat more if those numbers are true.
What do you think? Don't want to increase my cal intake if it turn out I actually burn more like 2.5-3k / day.

not accurate, apps and calculators are also just a ball park not an exact figure

not accurate at all.

Depending on how hydrated you are, the time of day you step on the scale, and other small factors, the results can very quite a bit.

Water dunk tank is really your best bet to finding out bf% etc

As I suspected.

But I guess it's still nice to be able to compare stats on it to before, been a good motivation for my weight loss!
