Customer Reviews of Tanita BF680W Duo Scale Plus Body Fat Monitor with Athletic Mode and Body Water

Customer Review: solid, reproducible, multiple features, a little stylish
Summary: 5 Stars

After several weeks of use, I think I have sufficient experience with the BF680W scale to usefully review it (excepting long-term durability). Let's consider features, ease of use, accuracy/reproducibility, and appearance/construction quality. Two person weighing, body fat, and body water measurements or simple weighing are possible. With each use, the scale beeps upon registering a weight, then again for fat/water. I was prepared to hate the beeps, but over time they strike me as sufficiently quiet to be mostly useful and not annoying. Ease of use is quite good, with three simple touch buttons for person 1/person 2/weight alone. You program each person's settings with age and activity levels, not that hard and only needed once. Also, the buttons are easily activated (unlike the fairly hard pushes that some scales require). In my experience, the weights are reproducible over 3 to 5 consecutive weighings within +/- 0.1 pounds, a pretty impressive performance. Body fat/water are much less reliable but pretty well parallel changes in weight in a predictable way. Those aren't likely to be absolutely correct, but are at least useful for following trends. Appearance-wise, this is not as elegant a scale as some but to me has a clean, functional design. Not wafer thin, but low profile and very stable. Material is plastic, but feels pretty solid in a way that is similar to my previous Tanita 622 scale (which lasted between 8 and 10 years). Overall, none of these completely bowl me over but the combination of features, reproducibility, and apparent build quality becomes more and more impressive with time.

Why You Should Monitor Body Water and Fat Percentage
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.
