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 BF679W is calibrated for standard adults and children and stores data for 2 people and measures body fat in increments of 0.5 percentage points. This scale also features a guest mode, allowing you to use the unit without losing information already assigned to the personal keys. 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.

Operating on four AA batteries (included), the Tanita BF679W 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.

Customer Reviews

great value: Purchased this product about two months ago, and haven't had a single regret. It's a substantial scale in terms of weight and seems to be very well constructed. It delivered on every aspect of the features, brand and value proposition. Be warned though - if you've never had a body fat measurement taken, this scale (and what it reports) is likely to humble even the most… More reviews

Nice product: You can weight yourself, drink a six ounce bottle of something, weight yourself again, and this scale shows the difference. Pretty nice.… More reviews

Very Nice Scale: This is only my second ever digital body fat monitor scale that I've owned.
My first scale (Taylor) would give me a range of sometime 5 lbs within a minute (very frustrating) and it had an annoyingly loud beep when I used the body fat monitor function.
This Tanita is a huge improvement in those two categories.

Our guests love this scale!: After a LOT of research, originally chose and purchased the Tanita BF679W in August. Accurate and aligns with weight taken during doctor visits. Love the historical feature and the programming feature. Easy to program for guests, too. We have a lot of guests in our household and everyone loves the scale and thinks its the best. Ordered a 2nd… More reviews

Very Inconsistent: This Tanita scale was very inconsistent and I returned in less than one week. I was very surprised it was so hard to get accurate readings and from day to day. It would fluctuate a much larger margin than it should. I would weigh +/- 9 lbs from day to day and fluctuate almost the same in the body fat %. I would not recommend purchasing… More reviews
