TANITA's BF-679W FDA Cleared Multi-Frequency Weight/Body Fat/Body Water Scale

Very happy with this scale. My 20 year old Tanita scale finally retired, and I wanted the same brand, so I found this scale. It tracks weight, body fat AND water. It's programmable for 2 people and it's also easy to program right out of the box.

I've owned this scale for almost a year now and can say that so far, it's a great way to monitor your weight, as well as estimate your body fat percentage. As with all bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) based devices, the results are still calculated values and may not reflect true body fat percentage. The instructions manual gives some tips that will help give better, more accurate values. The scale itself is pretty consistent. When measuring weight, body fat %, and body water % multiple times in a row, it gives the same set of results. The body fat % this scale gives is also very close in value to another scale that I've tried that was used in a university lab.

Highly recommend this scale. Its accuracy is good and gives you body fat and water % as well. Programmable for 2 people as well. I have an older one as well (20 years old) but decided I needed a new one. Love it!

I’m not sure how accurate the values are but after using this for the last few weeks daily, I have been obtaining consistent within what I would consider an acceptable margin for me/my needs. I think it’s easy to read. Once you set up your personal settings you tap the one button and it will show you your previous values. Also once you get a reading you can step off and review your reads. I do my best to stand exactly on the same spots of the foot metal sensors as I think it does appear sensitive. Once you get a hang of stepping on to it consistently and a set time for doing your reads you’ll get better more reliable values. I think it’s easy to use but I could easily see this being a medium difficulty for the average user. I worked at a gym that used TANITA’s industrial nice professional scales so I had some practice on how this work. This is a lower price home use product which works for me.

Great scale - enough features to keep us on track with our fitness goals! Easy to set up and easier to use! Highly recommended.
