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.

 Excellent product, unbelievable price! August 17, 2010
BioEngineer
I have been a user of Tanita products for about ten years now, buying my first Tanita bodyfat monitor in late 2000. I was looking into buying one for a friend that was trying to get back in shape and decided to buy two, even though my (now ten years old) unit was fine, mostly because the new units have hydration and my wife was interested in that feature, and they are so inexpensive i thought it worth a shot. I am super pleased with the new monitor and can't believe they can sell it for around $30. The unit is programmable for only two people rather than four as my older unit was, but frankly two was all we needed. I don't think anyone will be displeased with this purchase, even at $60 or $80 dollars i would be happy with the product, at $30 i think everyone who is watching their fitness should have one!
Excellent weight/body fat scale July 31, 2010

I bought this scale to replace one I had for about 12 years. This is definitely an upgrade. It powers up quickly and seems to be fairly acurate when measured against the equipment at the Dr's office.
 Tanita BF680W Duo Scale - Inaccurate At Higher Weights July 6, 2010

This scale does fine at lower body weights, but is totally inaccurate at higher weights (240 lbs. +). It has absolutely no repeatable accuracy! You can weigh yourself 10 times in a row, and get 8 different weights, varying as much as a pound! The body fat feature is a joke! Buy a cheaper scale - save some money.
Works well May 29, 2010

It has worked very well and much better than my previous body fat scale that erred out constantly. This one works great but you need to follow the instructions carefully and take measurements at a consistent time of day, otherwise your body fat can fluctuate as much as 5-8%. Lots of great info on their webpage as well
Seems pretty accurate April 6, 2010
D. Chermak
This scale seems to give really similar weights to the one at my gym and while the body fat calculation seems to come back a bit high it is fairly consistent as well and serves as a good guideline.
