Customer Reviews of Tanita BF681W Family Scale Plus Body Fat Monitor with Body WaterCustomer Review: Good productWe are very happy with this scale. It works well for a family of four and has a very convenient guest setting as well. It seems very accurate and is pretty easy to use once you have set everything up. I like that it has an "athlete" setting for me and settings for the rest of the family for regular levels of activity. Body fat and hydration levels are less useful than I thought they might be when buying this product. In order for it to work well for the hydration and body fat readings, you need to measure yourself at the same time every day and you get good trending but you can't simply walk up to it at any time and get accurate and consistent readings on those items. Overall, it is great as a scale and to help you measure trends on body fat and hydration.

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.
