Tanita BF-679W Multi-Frequency Digital Body Fat and Body Water Scale - Smart Bathroom Weight Scale - Body Composition Monitor with Japan Technology - 300 lb Capacity - 2-User Memory

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.

Fantastic product! I bought mine 15 years ago. It still works flawlessly despite daily use. I've changed the batteries 2 or 3 times. Incredibly accurate. Put on an additional piece of clothing, you'll see the tenths increase!

I’ve had several of these scales. To me one of the best. When doing the set up l, turn the scale over and make sure you have it set on lbs. lol I forgot and I thought I had lost a ton of weight lol I didn’t lol

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.

I'm happy with this purchase so far. After my old Tanita finally gave out (the LCD screen stopped working, ten+ years after owning it), I hoped to find a similar scale with reasonable BMI accuracy and a more precise weight measurement. (My previous scale measured in .5lb increments; I was aiming for .1 or .2lb increments)I considered several scales, ultimately narrowing my search down to this and a newer scale by a company called Greater Goods. I chose this scale because even though it is not a new model and was ten dollars more than the Greater Goods scale, I was ultimately skeptical about buying from a relatively unproven brand whose products include scales and...um...coffee?? From past experience, I knew Tanita to be a quality scale from a manufacturer invested solely in the business of making scales, and I knew the life cycle to be much longer than many other manufacturers. It bodes well to me that this model is at least 12 years old and is still being manufactured and sold.I don't need (or want) a scale that syncs with my other devices and I'm not an athlete, so aside from wanting a general sense of my BMI and accurate weight measurements to within +/- .1 or .2 lbs, my priorities were: that the materials be durable, that the scale be accurate and able to work on various surfaces (my floor is uneven and I have the unit placed on a mat), that it have some thickness to it and to NOT turn on automatically when stepping on it (I often use this for a boost in height in front of my mirror and I don't want to run out batteries unnecessarily), and that it not look horrible in my bathroom.This scale fit my needs as closely as possible. It's accurate, consistent on different surfaces, seems sturdy, and is unobtrusive in my bathroom. However, I would have preferred the design of my previous Tanita scale, for two reasons. First, the surface of this scale is slightly convex, which means that when stepping on it, the scale feels like it will tip sideways or that I will roll my ankle. Second, the metal pads for the electric current are of an awkward shape and are placed a bit too far apart for my average-sized-female feet. Still, relative to my previous Tanita, I get the features I wanted and then some (water measurement and memory buttons for two users), so I'm glad that I made this choice and hope that this scale serves me at least as long and as well as my previous scale.

I recently finished a successful weight loss campaign in which I reached my target weight 75 pounds lighter than when I began. Woohoo! Let's all feel great! However, now is when the real work begins. That weight has to stay off.My weight loss program had included standing on my doctor's Tanita scale at each appointment while weight, water retention, fat loss, and muscle mass were calibrated. One of the basic parts of my new life of maintenance meant that this responsibility was now passed on to me, but he only bathroom scale I owned gave me an approximate reading of gross weight with no breakdown. Such a Stone Age tool was no longer viable. I ordered my own Tanita through Amazon at a very affordable price and immediately began benefitting by accurate weight calibration plus the absolutely necessary readings of fat and water percentage.Shortly after I began my own readings with my Tanita, I went on a major vacation in which exercize and eating were two featured activities. I came home and stepped on my Tanita, and to my horror saw I had gained five pounds! (I mean, how surprising was that?) After I calmed down I noticed, thanks to the other readings with which the Tanita scale follows up, I had LOST fat mass, GAINED muscle mass, and was retaining some water, probably due to sodium intake. I breathed a sigh of relief and am thankful for the absolutely necessary knowledge my new Tanita Scale gives me. My opinion is that it is an irreplaceable tool for maintaining proper weight and good health.
