If you're like most people, you're not drinking enough water. If you wait until you feel thirsty, your body is already suffering from the effects of mild dehydration. You continually lose water during the day through sweat, urine and breathing. The amount varies due to several reasons, including your physical activity level, illness, medications, poor nutrition, or even climatic conditions. Monitoring your body water percentage allows you to quickly compensate if your levels are low, allowing your body to function more efficiently. Having the right amount of water in your body will not only make you feel healthier, but you'll also reduce your risk of developing serious health problems in the longer term. High body fat levels can reduce your endurance and have been linked to heart disease cancer and diabetes. Tanita's body composition analyzers monitor your body fat and body water levels with Bioelectric Impedance Analysis, or BIA, the same advanced technology used by doctors. Foot pads send a low-level electrical signal. Then BIA measures the resistance to this signal as it travels through the body. The Tanita BF680W is calibrated for standard adults, children and athletes and stores data for 2 people, measuring body fat in increments of 0.1 percentage points. The scale's large, easy-to-read 2.25-inch, 2-line LCD shows weight and body fat simultaneously, and instantly compares these readings to healthy ranges based on the user's age and gender. Simply supply your gender, age, height and weight into the memory, step on the scale, and the monitor does the rest. The results are analyzed according to each user's information, and the result is the one of the most comprehensive at-home readings you can get at home.
Operating on four AA batteries (included), the Tanita BF680W is intended for use by persons up to 300 pounds and is backed by Tanita's three-year warranty. 
Body fat percentages are important indicators of good health. View larger. | Note: Pregnant women should not use this monitor, and if you have a pacemaker or other internal electronic medical device, you should not use the body fat reading feature.
Product Description
Product Description:
This device might look like a scale, but it presents a broader snapshot of personal health by not only determining weight, but estimating body fat as well. It does this by sending a safe, imperceptible, low-level electrical pulse (50 kHz) through the body. (Healthcare professionals use similar electrical-pulse devices to estimate body fat by what is known as Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis, or BIA.) The device operates on four AA batteries (included), and its digital screen displays body-fat readings in 0.1 percent increments and weight in either 0.2 pound increments, up to 300 pounds or 136 kg. The scale stores data for two users and a simple toe-tap calls up your data before stepping on the device. Within seconds, it displays your weight, followed by an estimate of body-fat percentage. Both will repeat before the device turns off automatically. Durable and easy to maintain, the device carries a one-year warranty against defects.
Tanita's two-person Duo Scale plus body fat monitors stores two sets of pre-programmed personal data for fast, simple operation. The Duo model are designed specifically for two people who want to stay in control of weight and body fat management plus athletic mode.

 Pleased with purchase September 11, 2009
Mary (Nazareth)
I'm happy with this purchase... has everything I need, and more. The prior reviews were helpful. I mostly pay attention to the weight aspect but it is helpful to have the other features as well which I simply use as a guide. I know that is pricey just for the main feature but I do feel it is accurate which is of utmost importance - for that I give it a 5. I also give it a 5 for ease of use. I figured it out without pre-reading the instructions. (The only thing I wasn't aware of prior to this purchase is that it sends an "safe" electrical charge through your body... I don't know enough about that to comment.)
Mostly Accurate June 27, 2009
Paul J. Ciccotti Jr. (West Palm Beach, Fl., USA)
The scale is accurate for the most part. What I don't like about it is the mild fluctuations from one day to the next. I don't believe that your body changes that much overnight. The body fat and water percentages seem to be in the ballpark, but I don't have anything to compare them to. Overall, I'm satisfied with the scale and think that it is probably more accurate than most.

James Vanvalkenburg
Wonderful Product. Works great and is accurate. Read the directions fully before use, because it works in a very unique way and works in conjunction with a very low current. If you can get one good luck. But I think they make different types if they still don't have this one.
Easy to use June 12, 2009
John Saxton (Whidbey Island, WA)
This is a great scale for measuring body mass figures. I found it easy to set up and easy to use. The price was a bit high, I saw a similar unit at the big box store for about $20 less after I had already ordered this unit.
great scale June 1, 2009
Thomas M. Heineman (Chicago, IL USA)
I am not an expert at Body Fat or Water percentages, so I won't comment on those since I have no comparison points. However, I do find the weight to be very consistent to a very sophisticated scale at a Health Club I belong to. When I weigh myself at both places I get very consistent results. Also if I re-weigh myself two or three times on my home scale, I get results very close to one another. My old, mechanical scale could vary several pounds if I did the same test. With my old scale, I could keep re-weighning myself until I got a number I liked. With the new scale, I am kept honest.
I am pleased with my purchase.
