When it works, it's great--but its very touchy

When the scale works, it works nicely. I LOVE how it updates my information in Garmin Connect. However, it is extremely touchy--currently, it only seems to work reliably when it's in the middle of my bathroom floor. When I put it where my old scale was (in a convenient place to weigh myself, but also where I'm not tripping over it all the time), it never wants to read anything but basic weight. Still working with support on this--but no resolution yet.

WOW

Never thought I would like a scale that tells me I need to loose weight duh. Ever wonder what you weigh in Stones fun to know...far less than pounds if you are looking for a lower number. I weigh myself 3 to 4 times a day now just to see how things change. This Scale keeps track of every thing for me, let's me know the weather outside, knows my name as well and many others if you wish. What a fun way to watch your kids grow up from the very beginning B4 you even meet your child, keep track of events, goals your health. If you don't own one yet give it some real thought and enjoy getting on the scale. We did the marks on the Bathroom door now you can print it out on your computer each year.

Great features!

Bought almost 2 mos ago. I would give a 5 star except some hiccups in the beginning with set up n getting 2 users set up. Ultimately had to restart the entire process with resetting the scale. Most of the directions there.. but had to fill on the blanks. Only reason for 4 star. Now that we r rolling with 2 users. Love the scale and the additional metrics. The weight was also spot on with our previous scale. I would recommend if u like the other metrics n the tie in to the app.

Inconsistent measurements

I can't trust it. I can take four successive measurements and they can vary by up to four pounds. That is just not acceptable. I am very careful to stand in the exact same spot and keep my weight balanced the same way every time and this scale does not repeat very well

I love the scale but……

It’s nice to be able to have separate profiles for my wife and myself but we weigh close to the same and when I weigh myself it will sometimes think it’s my wife and trying to get it to change to my profile is glitchy sometimes it will easily go to my profile when I tap it but sometimes it won’t do anything and end up put my weight on my wife’s profile and vice versa and we have to delete a lot of weights off our profiles

Works well within the Garmin ecosystem.

I find the scale’s accuracy and completeness of health metrics satisfactory. However, it may not be ideal for people without other Garmin devices. While I don’t pay much attention to BMI and other advanced metrics , I purchased this device to automate my weight tracking within the Garmin app.

Body fat is a scam - not a measurement!

I bought it for body fat monitoring. It turns out it’s calculated from age and weight. Shows some standardized number. What a disappointment and a waste of time. Undermines my trust in garmin products. Just at the moment I mentally agreed to build an environment around garmin.

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.

Great scale - thought I'd miss my 1st Gen

My 1st gen Garmin scale lasted YEARS! Love the color screen, and the fact that the 2nd gen has a bigger screen and smaller footprint. It seems like you have to do something different to turn it on. With the 1st gen, you just tap it and wait for it to zero. Not sure what I'm doing wrong with my 2nd gen.

Almost Perfect

There are multiple features I love such as the synch with the app without the need to open the app first or even have the phone nearby when the weight is recorded. The auto tare is convenient. I can think of no features that are missing from this scale that my twoother scales had. The only shortfalls are that it doesn't always wake when stepeed on and must be moved slightly (not a huge shortfall) and that the bofy fat percentage can be miles off the mark!! I care more about body fat percentage and muscle mass than BMI and the scale was off by about 11%, which is huge. The app feature to calibrate it is not easy and took several attempts to get to a close to accurate reading. Now that the body fat is close to accurate, I'm VERY pleased with my recent birthday gift.
