It all depends on how your fat is distributed. I like this site: http://chuckdickens.home.comcast.ne...CALCULATORS.HTM
I'm female and a very hippy hourglass shape, and never carried fat on my wrists and forearms. The Method 3 calculator is the only one that matched my BF calculated from caliper measurements ~15 yrs ago, so that's the one I stick with. The more information you input, the better the result - I suggest you try Method 2 and Method 3 and pick whichever seems most reasonable to use as you continue tracking.
