I finally succeeded in adding my spouse as a user the scale would recognise. I tried several times and reviewed all the sources I could find online. Most of whom seemed to stumble on a solution, like I finally did. The most helpful information was from the Claude AI. So, at least I found some good in AI.
Before that the scale was simply an ornament on my desk. Garmin sould be ashamed. The BPM was a cinch to install.

This scale is good at measuring your weight but the other features are more of an estimate, it’s also better if your tied into the Garmin system to justify the higher price.

This scale is really easy to use and interactively keep track of so many variables about you. It has stayed calibrated right in line with a large medical scale I also have, which is rare in the step-on digital scale game.

Its weight measurement is spot on, and I'm sure the BMI is correct too. However, likes others have mentioned, the body fat calculation seems to not be the most accurate. I've been measured at 13% and the for the first few days it was telling me I was 24%... That being said, over the past few weeks, it's been steadily going down to about 14%, so maybe it takes time to calibrate its self?
And as far as the other calculations, I really have no idea, though my bone mass seems to be a bit to high as well.

Great scale - worked perfectly right out of the box. I already have a Garmin smart watch so connecting with the scale was a breeze. I love tracking the detailed info, not just weight.

Very easy to set up. I think the weight is accurate but all of the other metrics don't always seem to make sense. But the fact that it automatically connects to Garmin Connect is really why I got it.

Overall, this scale functions great as a scale. And by that I mean it seems consistently accurate at measuring weight and does not "stick" to any previous measurements. I've weighed myself in the morning, eaten and had drinks, then reweighed. The scale did notice the small increase. It also is pretty quick.
The smart portion of this device is slow and inconsistent. You also need a Garmin Connect (free) to utilize all of this scale's output. The scale on/off is activated by touch. which is very inconsistent. Sometimes it turns on by itself, other times it won't wake up even if standing on it. When it comes time to save your weigh in to your account, you have to tap the upper portion of the device to scroll to your name. This is frustratingly inconsistent, again relying on the touch surface of the scale. Sometimes the scale won't register your tap and your weigh in will get saved to your partners account. Meaning you'll have to go delete that entry on the app and also reweigh. Not a great experience at 6:30am.
The other stats are fun to look at but the device has no way of ensuring the accuracy of the information. It uses limited technology and tries to estimate. One would need something like a DEXA scan to really get that kind of info.
Overall I like this scale when it works. I am invested in the Garmin ecosystem and I like that I can weigh myself, and have my stats instantly updated across my devices/account. The price is high for how poorly the touch surface works.

If monitoring and keeping track your weight is important to you, and you like the idea of monitoring more than just your weight (BMI, bone mass, fat percentage among others) then this is an excellent choice.
Links up with smartphone/tablet easily and has a simple and elegant on-device interface and smart app.
Garmin are one of those companies who frequently produce very well made products, and this is certainly one of them.

Great features. Always works. No complaints. The first gen always turned on at the slightest move, just walking near it activated it. This one requires actual pressure on the scale. Small detail but I appreciate it.
