Great Scale with Multiple Metrics

If you are a Garmin user, this is the scale for you. The scale picks up different profiles automatically and uploads data directly into your garmin profile and other cross compatible apps like myfitnesspal. Ultimately, I find that this scale gives me more metrics than I even know what to do with, but it is great to see progress when you are working towards your goals and not just focused on the overall weight.

Does not actually measure body fat

I returned this scale because it did not actually measure body fat. The body fat it displayed was very different than on other scales (twice as much - like I would look very different if true). It seems to use a formula to calculate it, based on age and weight. Whatever or does, it does not actually measure. So, really just a very, very overpriced scale.

Consistent Weight Readings

Compared to other scales, the Index 2 provides consistent data and tracks many other metrics besides weight. Battery life has been good, however it is a bit of a pain connecting the scale to WiFi. Once connected it updates to the Garmin app rather well.

Has some bugs

Every morning I get on the scale and weight myself, then get off, after the screen turns off I have to tap the scale to get it to turn back on and usually the hour glass shows up. Sometimes the hour glass screen syncs the scale with my phone, but usually I have to wait, weigh my self again, and get back to the hour glass screen a second time before it will actually send data to the app. Occasionally it gets stuck in a screen that shows the scale and app connected, but the app shows no activity, takes 15minutes for that screed to go away so most of the time I have to take the batteries out to force it to stop. Gets stuck in that screen at least once a day. So minus one star for the app never syncing on the first try, and minus a second for it constantly freezing. Minus a third star cause sometime I can't get it to turn on at all.

Not just another scale

The Index S2 is an excellent motivator. My wife and I both have fabulous Garmin watches and have been working to increase our fitness. She did not want to ever step onto a scale until the Index S2. Armed with more details about muscle mass and body fat, we have both been given that extra jolt of positive feedback to support our fitness journey. This scale is a game changer.

Simple

Very happy with this scale. Had a small issue with the initial setup, but it was my own fault. Did the factory reset and started over. Has worked great ever since. My wife and I are both Garmin users and the scale correctly identifies each of us and passes the information to our Connect accounts. It couldn't be easier.

Hard to use for multiple peoe

I got this to replace our last body scale. It’s my wife and I. She just wants to jump on, get a few numbers and go. But to see trends I tried to add her. You can’t unless she is a Garmin connected person which she is not. So you have to send invites, create accounts, etc. There should be local user accounts like my last one

Love It

I have been weighing myself every morning to see how my decisions from the day before affect my body weight. This is helping me to find a better ways to keep my weight steady and not fluctuate by 5 pounds. I also like to see how it all combines with my workout choices. It easily connects to my watch and I feel it provides an accurate reading.

Game Changer

So easy to set up and use. I weigh myself every morning and it synchs directly to Garmin connect so that I can easily keep track of my weight. I have noticed when I weigh myself regularly it is easier to keep the lbs off! Anyone who is active and struggles with weight, or likes to keep track of all the data it offers would love this scale!
