We have compared the results of the garmins scale to several other scales and body analysis device and it seems to read quite high. Surprisingly a cheap scale was closer to the professional values. Not sure if we will keep it. Seems like these are all well known issues garmin is aware of but choosing not to address.

I still don't know why I could not upload a software update in late January, but the replacement S2 Smart scale is working fine. It was initially slow to find my Wi-Fi for some reason but once connected it's now working as designed. Interestingly, my Body Fat %, Muscle, Dry Bone Mass and water % are all about 8 % different with the replacement scale. Proof that impedance scale data is not as accurate as DEXA measurements.

Bringing it all together .. I love my Index S2 with self Identity ( Knows who steps on ) feed to Phone, stores patterns and tracks about everything with have to hold a Handle. Major advancement, liked so much bought two, one for Son and his wife ( Fitness Instructors )

This scale works pretty amazingly. It's nice not to have to manually enter my weight anymore. It's also nice to get an estimate of the muscle mass, bone weight, and water weight. Even though my wife hates the idea, I also like that it shows the weather at the end. My morning routine is to weigh myself first thing, so it's nice to get a reminder of the weather without having to look at my phone. The only annoyance and the reason I dropped a star is that the instructions and the instructional video show that you can wake the scale by tapping it with your foot. Neither my wife nor I have been able to make this happen. I basically have to gently kick it from the side to get it to wake up. If I could actually just tap it to turn it on, it would be perfection.

I was excited to receive the scale ,when I received the first scale it would not connect to the WIFi no matter how many times I reset it so I sent it back. the second scale came and It set up and connected perfectly, read outs were great connected to my Garmin connect app perfectly. However the Fat % is way off? I double checked it against my other smart scale and the commercial scale at the club and it was exactly 9% higher than both of those scales so its coming back to you. I am a huge Garmin fan with my Garmin In Reach Mini, Music 245, S62 approach watch with CT10 sensors and Edge 1040 bike computer however the scale just wasn't up to the same standard in my opinion ? if it was 1-2% difference I could live with it however the discrepancy was just to large of a gap after back checking it with 2 other scales.

Scale is not able to recognize different users. Using now for one month. The two of us that are using the scale have a completely different body type, however, our weight difference is about 5 #. The touch screen to change manually from one user to the other is only working when it wants to. Alone the setup of two users was a nightmare. I do not recommend this product.

Cool looking scale. Neat data. Every morning it’s a battle to wake it up. I tap on the top all over and sometimes it just doesn’t turn on. I have made sure it was fully updated ect. For the price should never have the issue within a month of opening.

Very happy with the quality and features of this scale. Switched from a Withings that was having a rough time consistently connecting to WiFi. Chose the Garmin after many reviews and the fact that I’m already heavily dependent on Garmin devices for bicycling; the Connect app is easy to use. The scale takes its readings quickly, and uploads to Connect and Apple Health before I’ve even stepped off it. Very happy with the purchase.

Been a huge Garmin fan. Just purchased the index scale reluctantly. Why reluctantly - I hate what they did to the connect app. So what do I like about Garmin and what have I purchased. Index BP monitor. Epix Saphire gen 2 watch. Club sensors, Garmin R10. Just wish they would listen to those who hate the stupid tile format in connect and give us the old format. Love the products hate the app designers at Garmin. I’d love to start using connect again once you fix it. I no longer use it to work out with as it’s useless.
