I have the Garmin instinct and my fitness pal and they pair perfectly with my scale to help me track my progress in weight. I am not completely sure how accurate the body fat percentage is or water weight is tho, but still nice to have a number to compare back to.

This scale has some issues syncing with the Garmin App. Also, I am not sure it is measuring my weight correctly when compared to another scale that I able to calibrate. Thus, I am not sure the other metrics like BMI and Body Fat Percentage is accurate.

I replaced my Gen1 version with this. I like the ease of use, and the new graphical interface, but there is no way that it is accurate beyond weight.For reference, I'm 6'2", 150lbs and a serious cyclist - I did over 9500 miles in 2023; problem is, the scale reports my body fat percentage at over 16%. THere is no way that figure is even close to reality. Knowing that figure is way off, it stands to reason that the other figures (bone mass, muscle mass, water) are off correspondingly. My advice to Garmin is that it's better to have no data than bad data. My Gen1 scale seemed to have more accurte metrics.

When we decided to buy the scale at home, we were invaded by a number of comments written on social networks about this model. Many point out that it had synchronization problems, that the Wi-Fi did not detect them, that it was poorly calibrated, or that it did not allow them to synchronize more users than the owner. To do the tests, we put my wife as the starter, and I was the guest. The synchronization has been a success, there is no need to tell it who is uploading, it detects it automatically. The calibration has been very accurate, and in a few words, I can say that if you read the instructions step by step and do everything it indicates, you will be able to execute everything it does without problems. It is a great complement to keep track of weight and various metrics in Garmin Connect, and if you add to that the more information that your Garmin uploads with each workout, plus the amount of water you drink, and you synchronize your diet through MyFitnessPal, you have absolutely all the information you need for your day to day life. It's a purchase you're definitely going to love.

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.

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!

i just took it out the box. set it up, updated the software. been standing still on it for 10 mins & will not stop at any weight reading. its shwoing wildly inaccurate weight, and goes back and forth over a range of about 30 lbs without ever confirming any reading

I've had my S2 for a few years now. For weight alone, it seems pretty accurate. For the other metrics, it is WAY off. This is a known issue. Percent body fat is incredibly inaccurate, and bone mass and skeletal muscle mass are not actually measured but imputed through an algorithm that makes a lot of assumptions based on your age. If you change your age in your Garmin Connect settings it will give you wildly different readings. So clearly it isn't actually measuring anything. I had high hopes for this device. But honestly, save your money and buy an old fashioned scale. This thing is garbage.

I bought this to replace a competitor smart scale so I could have all my info in the connect app. I like this scale, but my only gripe is it just doesn’t turn on when you stand on it, unlike the competitors scale. With the garmin, you need to “tap” the surface, which basically means banging your foot on it until it wakes up. It’s ridiculous. I don’t understand why they couldn’t have it just wake up when you stand on it.

This is some of the worst piece of crap i have bought. It simply wont sync towards the Garmin cloud services. I have tried to reset it many times, with the same outcome. Without sync, none of the settings is applied to the weight, and the measurements is not registered in my Garmin account. The product will be returned.
