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 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.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best scale we've ever owned, January 24, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tanita BF681W Family Scale Plus Body Fat Monitor with Body Water (Health and Beauty)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value for a very capable scale, March 10, 2006

AW "AW" (East Brunswick, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tanita BF681W Family Scale Plus Body Fat Monitor with Body Water (Health and Beauty)
This scale was easy to set up and use. It reports a lot of information to help with weight loss and training in a clear fashion. The ability to keep track of 4 people is also very useful in a household. I can't judge the accuracy of its body fat readings, but they appear to be very consistent day to day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tanita Family Scale, March 8, 2006
This review is from: Tanita BF681W Family Scale Plus Body Fat Monitor with Body Water (Health and Beauty)
Excellent scale. I have given them as gifts since I received mine. I am a doctor and think this scale is an excellent way to keep up with weight, hydration, and fat percentage on a daily basis.
