Garmin Index S2 Smart Scale Black

Its good for the price, and it gives decent data. But honestly I just changed to Hume, gives more data. But for the price good buy.

Love it. Everything about this is 5 star. Highest recommendations given.

There is a lot to like about the S2 Smart Scale. It offers a useful and actionable package of data regarding your body composition and interfaces directly with your Garmin Connect Account to make that data readily accessible. A big benefit is that you can calibrate the % Body Fat based on a current DEXA scan. This allows you to overcome one of the known disadvantages of BIA scales. It has an attractive footprint and Garmin's high quality fit, finish and functionality. There is one thing I don't like, which is why my rating is a 4 rather than a 5. The scale allows you to program it for use with multiple users. You do this through the Garmin Connect App, which is a little confusing but not all that difficult to work through. You "nudge" the scale just the right amount to turn it on and then step on it to determine your weight. It uses your weight to match to your account. All well and good if it gets it right. In my case the second user weighs close to the same as I do and the scale can't tell us apart. The solution is to "nudge" the scale again when the wrong name comes up and to keep "nudging" it until you get the right user name. This is a giant pain, especially since you have to get the "nudge" just right! This likely won't be a problem for every user - but give me a button to select the user before getting on the scale. Overall, an attractive and useful product.

In appearance, function, and setup, this scale is great. However, in side by side tests it shows me 6 lbs heavier than two scales (Garmin Index and Eat Smart) I have used consistently for several years, and it doubled my body fat percentage from the range my two other smart scales have consistently shown for years.

Extremely difficult to use. The scale does not stay on. Very limited options. Not worth the money. ZERO stars

I absolutely love this scale! The weight and BMI are very accurate. The remaining measurements seem also good, but you have to keep in mind that when you first take these measurements with the scale, that these are your baseline measurements. Then going forward you look to see how the measurements change compared to the baseline. Are the baseline measurements accurate? I don’t know because I don’t have anything to compare them to. But I’m not too concerned with that and more about improving them. I love that it exports the values to Connect. It was easy to setup. I also like the weather!

Excellent product. A bit tricky to get synced with my Garmin connect app, but love that I can track my body composition history. Spend the money.

I can't figure out how to get my scale to upload to my phone. So far the videos haven't helped. I can't get past the torso with the question mark. Still trying. This MIGHT be a great product. So far I'm kinda disappointed.

The % body fat seem suspect.i weigh a little under 160 body fat reads 31.9 work out hard for 2hrs a day and burn 800+ calories so ths doesn't compute

Had the scale for some time now. Great for keeping track of progress on weight, % body fat and Muscle mass. Recently changed WiFi in house and was a little tricky to change and had to reset scale, lost a few weeks of data. After factory reset was able to set up with new household wifi. Garmin for some reason thinks this is a new scale after the reset which is why I got asked now for a review after owing the scale for several years. Would by again.

Terrible product. Weight not accurate by over 50 lbs. won’t send weight to phone app even though it says both are synced.

I can't recommend this scale. It's typical Garmin quality, but the body composition metrics are so far off as to be useless. Weight is spot on, body fat percentage compared to a Dexa scan is about 10 percentage points high (meaning mine as measured on a DEXA is about 14% and on the S2 is 24%!!), and bone density weight is about half or less of what it should be. It might be useful for tracking trends, but that's not why I bought it. I unfortunately got it through a pro deal and can't return it...great.

I bought this a little over a month ago, doesn’t recognize when my foot is on it to activate, doesn’t connect to my Garmin apps, I’ve had to reset it 9-10 times. I can’t return it because I threw away the packaging. 3 stars only because it’s very accurate weight wise.

It's too soon to tell if I like it or not. I just switched from a Fitbit Aria to Garmin Index, and my body fat % is completely different. Fitbit said it was 17% (after decreasing from 26% over months of working out), while Garmin scale says it's 25%. So, I don't know which one to believe, and how they each calculate this number.

Inaccurate body fat % measurements. I ended up returning it. I'll hold out until there's a four point body fat % scale from Garmin.

I got this straight from Garmin and spent 3 hours trying to get it to pair to the network and take a reading, to no avail. Endless syncing screens, tried resetting and now It can't even find a single wifi network. I think their software is quite buggy, and it might also have a janky wifi chip in it. Unfortunately I have to return it as it's just a paperweight.

Love the concept. Love the linkage with my Garmin account and devices. However the scale is impossible to use. Multiple attempts have to made to get it to register, or a reset has to be done. Takes a good 3-5 minutes before it ‘wakes up’.

I am active and not overweight, I am 5’08” at 220 lbs. with it being a smart scale that can compute your muscle weight, it has my BMI and body fat percentage extremely high (straight off a chart reading instead of calculating the actual muscle mass, body fat percentage and BMI)

Lovely functionality and appearance - took many, many attempts to set up. The features definitely help to change lifestyle for the better.

Best health equipment investment you can make if you are serious about monitoring your overall physical body stats without having to manually keep track. Stats go right into Garmin Connect as well as Apple Health and other apps. Easy to use and add other household members.
