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.

- It died prematurely
- My Tanita died prematurely and the company said it was excess humidity. The scale was in the bathroom as most scales are. I'm very disappointed that Tanita didn't design their scale to work in an environment in which most scales are placed.
I replaced it with another brand.
I will never buy Tanita again.

- A great scale at a reasonable price
- Personally, I think this is a great scale. It gives consistant readings, never jumping around like my old cheaper digital scale, and I like being able to see my exact weight down to 1/5 of a pound. It's easy to use, as long as you follow the directions (you have to remember to stand on it as directed, and make sure your feet are clean!). I don't know how eaxctly… More reviews
- OVERPRICED SCALE with a Body fat monitor that DOES NOT WORK
- This is simply an overpriced scale.
It would be nice if you could just step on a scale to check body fat %, but the fact is that it doesn't work that way. You can step on it and get a reading that is up to 50% different one minute later. This is a joke. More reviews

- This scale is very reproducible with respect to weight. However, body fat and body water percent do not appear to be very reproducible. Overall, still a good value if one doesn't overpay. Prices ranged from $50 to $80 on line and even higher at retail stores.… More reviews
- I think I found one that works!!
- This scale seems to be able to produce consistent readings each time I get on it; I had poor results with the Omron-400 which I returned, but this seems to keep saying the same things. I have not compared the results to other body fat devices like a caliper etc, but at least it seems to be consistent with itself; Something that other monitors seem… More reviews
