Garmin - Index Smart Scale - Black

1st have to say love this smart scale. No one does accuracy or Data better than garmin. Syncs with Garmin connect which can sync with my Fitness pal, apple or google fitness app etc. The only downside is if you have a child or toddler who keeps stepping on your scale will register as YOUR WEIGHT and no way to prevent this since garmin doesnt let kids be added to the smart scale so pain in butt to either store in closet or if you keep it on the floor be prepared to reset it constantly . If you will not have this issue then get this smart scale I have tried many and I will say hands down the best out there.

I've been meaning to get a new scale for a while now, but I was never sure which to get. I moved to the Garmin fitness ecosystem about a year ago with a Forerunner 230 to track my runs. When I ended up with a bunch of Best Buy Rewards, I figured I finally needed a new scale, so I gave this one a shot. I've been really, really happy with this scale. It works quickly and uploads data automatically, which means I'm a lot more likely to get on the scale. I usually end up forgetting the weight I measured before I got this scale, so putting it into Garmin Connect was a pain. This scale usually has the value uploaded before I even have seen all of the measurements it took! Boy, what a lotta measurements this scale takes, too! Weight, Body Fat %, Lean Mass, Bone Mass...I'm missing a couple. It's a lot of stuff. Now, the galvanic body fat % measurements are not as accurate as professional sports labs will get. If you care that much, go to a sports lab. For me, this is good enough. My only gripe about this scale is that it shows that I put on 7 pounds when I was recovering from an injury during the holidays. Darn accuracy...

I bought this with the hopes that it would be able to accurately track my muscle weight and body fat, but based on everything I've read and experienced that seems like an elusive goal. I do however really enjoy the internet connection and how it tracks my weight each day and uploads it to the Garmin app. The jury is still out as to how accurate it is on its other functions.

Linked up to our Garmin Smart Watches. Garmin Connect works really well for our purposes. (Not youngsters anymore!) Could have better instructions on what the readouts mean, exactly, especially for age groups. Only drawback I have is for consistent readings, you need a routine on stepping on the scale. i.e. Right foot, then left foot and careful not to exert too much extra downward pressure when stepping on. Don't place where something heavy could be dropped on the glass top!

It records weight, BMI, body fat percentage, bone mass, muscle mass and body water percentage. I watch the body water percentage because if this drops I don't loose weight. This also sends this information to my Garmin Connect account so I can easily see trends. I want the weight going down and this has helped encourage me to stick with the plan.

We used a Fitbit Aria for a couple of years, but it died unexpectedly. We set out on a search for a new scale and looked at the Garmin one closely. Like many Garmin products, the firmware is a little glitchy when new hardware is released, so many of the initial reviews cited problems that have been since resolved. One of the things I like about the scale is its size. I have US 12 feet so many scales do not fit my feet. This one is perfectly sized for larger feet. Weight (and other body composition metrics) is quickly calculated and uploaded to Garmin. If you are a Garmin fitness user, you'll love that the weight is synced to watched via a smartphone. I haven't found much utility in some of the extra measurements the scale makes, but I did enjoy looking at them the first time. Perhaps these can be used for longterm trends, but time will tell on that.

I had a Fitbit scale for years but over the years I move from Fitbit device to Apple device to a Garmin watch. The obvious choice for a new scale was the Gramin to match my watch. I like the fact that I can have many users and the different data points this scales provide. The reason I took off a star was that the feet did not seem to help with the scale being on the carpet. Also, an update for the app would be if they would say what a good range was for all the data points. All in all it is a great scale and happy with my purchase.

I have only ever use I a cheap weight watcher SX scale in the past. This was a huge upgrade. It was pretty easy to set up. I loved that it connects to my iPhone. Recently their servers have been down which is frustrating. I also have to mention that you have to be very careful when handling this unit. It has four small legs underneath and each one comes with comes with a little plastic “shoe”. One the shoes broke a little very easily and is barely hanging one. That combined with some of app features charging you made me have to lower my score for this unit.
