I picked this scale up the day it was released. Price-wise, a little steep for what you get, I'd wait until the price drops. As far as set-up goes, if you have a Garmin ant+ USB/stick, I'd go the over the computer route rather than through the Garmin Connect app for iPhone. I did it both ways (I actually factory reset it) and found that Garmin Connect over my browser was easier and less buggy than the app (it seems like the app has been buggy since it's recent overhaul). When I setup over the app, the app wouldn't immediately sync the weight info., when I did it over my browser, it seemed to sync to the app almost immediately. Maybe Garmin's servers were slow and the app was actually fine, maybe the factory reset had something to do with it. Regardless, it worked. Just an FYI, if you want to add additional users, the must have a Garmin Connect account. Adding my wife was easy, I sent her an invite to use the scale over Garmin Connect, she accepted and had to go through the setup process which was very simple. As far as it functions, all the metrics are consistent, no wild swings in their values. I still question how it can accurately measure some of the things that they claim the scale can measure, other than weight. A good product particularly if you live in the Garmin world (activity trackers, fitness watches, cycling computers), in which I do, which was a major motivator to get it.

Pros: weight is pretty accurate. Weighed the same on this scale as the scale at my Dr. office. Body fat % uses electrical pulses. Fairly close. Cons: weight numbers go up about 1/2 pound from final reading on scale. Hydration level stays the same no matter how much I drink. Still, for the money and interoperability between garmin devices, I'd buy again.

Love this product. Had been working out for a year and a half before I brought and was satisfied with my progress. This flipped my progress and showed I wasn’t anywhere near where I wanted to be. Took my fitness to another level. Now pushing %100 harder. Love how the readouts show me where I am lacking. And Garmin is a trusted brand. I already use the app and the Vivoactive 3 as my fitness tracker.

Customers appreciate the Index Smart Scale's accuracy and ease of use, finding it intuitive and easy to set up. Many also highlight the scale's comprehensive information, including bone mass and BMI readings, and its seamless integration with the Garmin app. However, some customers note the relatively high price and find the instructions could be improved.
