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 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. The Tanita BF681W also offers an athlete mode to more accurately meet the special monitoring needs of physically fit consumers. Up to four unique users can benefit from this scale. 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 BF681W is intended for use by persons up to 330 pounds and is backed by Tanita's 10-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.

 great scale, good value October 25, 2008
Easy to use and appears very accurate, lightweight, doesn't take up a lot of space, provides weight, body fat, and water weight. No matter how many times I step on it I get the same weight. Allows for 4 people to keep track of their last settings. Also has an easy button to get just weight. 5 buttons at the end of the scale are easily pushed with your toe to get one of the four individualized settings or the weight only setting.
Best scale we've ever owned January 24, 2008

Absolutely the best scale we've ever owned. It is quick, accurate (referenced to doctor's beam balance scale), and precise (+/- 0.2 lbs). It is true you should not do a body fat measurement if you have a pace maker but you can still do a weight only measurement (press the center toe button). More expensive than a Walmart special but this one will actually show you how much you weigh.
Definitely recommend! December 3, 2007

We love this scale. It is easy to program for up to 4 people, remembers your information, and gives numbers relative to things like activity level of each individual. It is easy to read and gives weight AND body fat level. Seems to be reliable so far. This scale also is easy and large to step on. We don't always like the numbers we see but it definitely tells us what we need to know!

Works just as advertised in its product description. Was easy to setup, and the fact that it saves 4 peoples info, as well as having just a plain weight option makes it perfect for our use.
