GarminIndex S2, Smart Scale with Wireless Connectivity, Measure Body Fat, Muscle, Bone Mass, Body Water% and More, Black (010-02294-02)

I really enjoy this scale. It is very sleek. Just kind of blends in with my floor because I have dark tile and the numbers are large enough that you can see him and it is extremely accurate. Would highly recommend. It was very easy to set up in fact it actually transfers everything to the app that I use for my Apple Watch, which makes it nice to have everything in one place. I purchased a bundle and the blood pressure monitor. I really like also seems to be very accurate. Very easy to use.

The Garmin Smart Scale is hands down one of the best fitness tools I’ve ever used! It goes way beyond just measuring weight — it tracks body fat, muscle mass, water percentage, and more, giving me a complete picture of my health. The accuracy is impressive, and it syncs seamlessly with the Garmin Connect app, making it easy to monitor progress over time.I love how it recognizes multiple users automatically, so everyone in the family can use it without hassle. The sleek design fits perfectly in my bathroom and feels sturdy and high-quality underfoot. It’s motivated me to stay on track with my fitness goals like never before.If you’re serious about understanding your body composition and tracking your health data in detail, this smart scale is a must-have. Highly recommend!

I wanted to love this scale, but sadly this scale just doesn't work the way that it should. The scale does not connect to certain WiFi networks and will not consistently sync your data to your Garmin Connect account. For this reason, I am returning this scale. More details below:I am in the Garmin Ecosystem. I have the Forerunner watch, the Edge bike computer, the cadence sensors, the speed sensors, and the Garmin Connect application. I like the quality of Garmin's products. I like the way they are designed around their users (e.g. The Forerunner watch uses buttons instead of a touch-screen because a touch-screen doesn't work with sweaty hands). They meet my needs and they work consistently. I wanted to love this scale, but it does not meet Garmin's quality standards for use.I wanted to get a scale that would record my body metrics and sync my data to Garmin Connect. I looked at some third party offerings, like Withings, but found that most of the time I would have to sync my data to one app, then walk it through another app, before I could get it into Garmin Connect where the rest of my health and performance data is. For this reason, the Garmin Index S2 made the most sense. It would sync all of my data to Garmin Connect and I could stay within a single application.When I opened the box, I was very impressed with the build quality. The scale is quite solidly built. In the box, you get 4 batteries, and some extra feet for using the scale on a carpeted surface. I popped the included batteries into the scale and started it up.Setting up the scale seems simple at first. You pair the scale to your phone using Garmin Connect, then proceed with the setup process. You add a nickname for yourself (The scale can sync to 16 unique users), and then you input your WiFi details. The scale says it is online, and you're ready to go. Simple...Or so I thought. I stepped onto the scale, and it gave me my weight. But instead of recognizing me as the user, the only user on the scale at this point, it says I am a guest user. Well that is odd, why wouldn't it recognize me? I go onto the Garmin forums looking for help. The scale, despite having Bluetooth, does not use Bluetooth to sync anything. It is only used for initial setup. Instead, the scale uses WiFi to sync data. I find that some users are also having trouble with their WiFi networks, and that pairing it to their phone as a hotspot works better.So I give this a try to add my phones hotspot as a WiFi network. The way that you do this is a bit unintuitive. You hold "Reset" on the bottom of the device, which doesn't actually reset the scale, but instead puts the device back into Bluetooth pairing mode. Once it is in this mode, you can add another WiFi network to your device. Note that if you do this, your scale will have a status of "WiFi setup incomplete" within your Garmin Connect devices section.So now, with my phones hotspot on, I try weighing myself again. This time, it recognizes me correctly, and gives me my body composition data as well (BMI, Bodyfat %, Muscle mass, etc.). But when I go into my Garmin Connect application on my phone, it still does not show up. The data just doesn't want to sync over. I try a few more times before it finally shows anything in my app.The syncing seems to be really inconsistent. I've had it sync over within a couple minutes, and I've had it take as long as several hours. The scale just doesn't want to sync over WiFi. Garmin's website is not helpful when it comes to troubleshooting. Is it a port issue? Does it need a reserved IP address? Does it need 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz WiFi? Why doesn't the device work over Bluetooth when it knows the user that is using it (and you can tap to select other users if it ever gets it wrong)?The primary function of this scale is to measure my body composition and weight, then sync it to Garmin Connect. It needs to work more reliably and conveniently than if I want to mark this data myself, manually. But at this point, it doesn't do that. For that reason, I am returning this scale. I am extremely disappointed in this scale. It is clear that Garmin released a product that was not fully thought out.

If you level the scale it will read your weight very accurately. I just used what I had around and cut a few thick pieces of a paper tag. It measured my weight way off until I leveled it. Everything else works great also!

Pros: 1,works with your other garmin products.2. Accurate.Cons: 1. takes FOREVER to set up. 1 entire day for me.2. The information display shows it one by one. You have to wait 20-40 secs to read all the info that you need. This machine builds up patience within you.If you don’t have garmin products that you want syncing… I would get another more affordable device that will do the same thing.

Used every day or a few months now. Love this scale! Super easy to use. Setup was quick, easy, and straight forward. Never had any connection issues whatsoever. The people who can’t get it to work must be totally inept. It uses Bluetooth for the setup but after that process is complete it only uses your home WiFi to transmit the measurements to the Garmin Connect app. Seems like people aren’t understanding how it uses both Bluetooth and WiFi.

This scale is user friendly, making it easy for me to get it up and running. I like how you can save different entities to track individual progress, and the weight makes it so it stays put but isn’t too heavy to carry, if needed. It also sends info to my Garmin watch, which is convenient.
