Odd harmonics
680edo retains a reasonable 3rd and 5th harmonic, though nowhere near the accuracy of the prior multiple 612edo; as a multiple of 34edo, 680edo borrows that edo's accurate representation of the interval 25/24, implying that the error on prime 3 is approximately twice that on prime 5. However, 680edo is most notable for its approximation of the 7th harmonic, 680 being the denominator of a semiconvergent to log2(7/4).
Its primes 11, 13, 17, and 19 are all approximated rather badly, but 680edo actually shines in very high prime limits, with great representation of prime 23 (inherited from 170edo) and accurate representation of prime 31 as well as the entire stretch of primes from 41 to 73; even the remaining primes are often off by similar enough margins in the same direction that there are many instances of intervals between them that are approximated quite precisely, such as 37/29, of which 680edo is a weak circle.

Subsets and supersets
Since 680 factors into 23 × 5 × 17, 680edo has subset edos 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 17, 20, 34, 40, 68, 85, 136, 170, and 340.
