Garmin Index S2 Smart Scale

I had a Withings scale that worked much better. Sometimes it doesn’t turn on when tapping and is real frustrating.

My favorite thing about this scale is that it stores your data instantly. If you're like me and sometimes you don't even want to look at your weight, just don't look. The data is still there. As far as all the other metrics go, I have no clue how accurate they are. How does it know my bone mass? But I do enjoy the weather report at the end of the data show. We made the switch from an antique analog scale (seriously, it was 30 years old), and getting more accurate weight measurements is a good thing.

I read other reviews that their body fat percentage wasn't accurate but mine was very close to the number I had at the Y when I was tested there. I have been surprised how the weight varies unless I'm centered perfectly on the scale.

Great scale. Having connectivity to the Garmin Connect app is a nice feature to record and track changes over time.

I love it and all the data that helps track my progress and monitor my health

I bought this excited for the bone measurement and water %.The numbers are wildly different from day to day, especially the bone numbers. How does that change daily? The scale never responds when I stand on it, I have to pick it up or move it with my foot across the floor for it to wake up. Sadly, it doesn't seem to add more insight than my fit bit scale did. My favorite thing about the fit bit scale is that it could tell when you were standing on it. The graphs that show the change from day to day are nice, but nothing I couldn't see in the Garmin Connect app. It would be much better if I didnt have to work so hard to wake it up.

I’ve been buying Garmin products for years and love their smartwatches and GPS devices, so I tried this scale. The weight was accurate, but the body composition numbers were way off. At 102 lbs and 13.7% body fat (DEXA), the scale read 29.8% body fat with 3.5% skeletal mass. I really wanted it to work, but I had to return it. Hopefully Garmin improves accuracy.

What an upgrade to my old digital scale! I appreciate the app integration and the BMI, body fat, and skeletal muscle mass, bone mass, and body water metrics.

The S2 smart scale is what the 1st Smart Scale should have been. That 1st one was a mess and waste of my money. The S2 set up to Wifi network was a breeze and links to Connect app quite easy as well. It has all the metrics that I need.

It won't connect through wifi or bluetooth. I've chatted online with their reps three times and it just doesn't work. My new Fitbit Aria scale works like a charm.

At times it takes a bit for it to come on. This is what is holding it back from being a great scale. Reliable weight data is given and it is easy to track with the app.

Only a month or so in and couldn’t be happier. Calibrated it with my BMI from my last doctor appointment and it’s been smooth sailing since. Syncs perfectly with my Garmin Venu 3S. I love all the features and they help me to stay in even more control of my weight and exercise journey. And it’s purdy and sleek looking too.

Easy set-up and accurate readings. Consistent with great products from Garmin!

I bought the scale two weeks ago. The information is provided gives you a great update on your health.

Great weight scale, highly recommended for weight loss and weight management

I bought this to compare with a DEXA scan, which read my body fat as 15.7%. The Garmin read 26%.

I bought this a few weeks ago. I like it. It sinks well with Garmin App. It’s a little hard to wake up in the morning. I was hoping it would tell me how much fluid I lost after a run, but that category isn’t there. Otherwise, I like it and it seems accurate.

Was easy to set up and synch with my Connect phone app so that the data is integrated with my activity data. Eat to read and accurate.

Die Waage schaltet sich permanent ein und wieder aus. Ich habe versucht einen Reset über Drücken des Reset Knopfes durchzuführen. Allerdings passiert kein Reset - die Waage schaltet sich einfach nur endlos ein und wieder aus. Denke es liegt ein Bug in der Software vor. Die Körperfett-Analyse ist m.E. über mindestens 10% zu hoch bei mir. Beim Recherchieren bzgl. Messfehler habe ich entdeckt, dass man in der Garmin App das Ergebnis einer externen Körperfett-Analyse hinzufügen kann, so dass die Waage diese als Referenz verwendet. Das Problem mit dem endlosen Ein- und wieder Ausschalten hat m.E. anschliessend begonnen bzw. ist es mir am nächsten Morgen aufgefallen, als ich mich, gespannt auf evtl. Auswirkungen der Körperfett-Eingabe in der App, wiegen wollte :-). Bis dahin hat die Waage problemlos funktioniert - bis auf wie gesagt die m.E. falschen Körperfett-Ergebnisse.

Works great with other Garmin products to provide an overall tracking system for various health points.
