GARMIN INDEX S2 SMART SCALE INTL WHITE

Is so inacurate, I wouldn't bother, there's better ones for €40

Facile à installer et à utiliser. C'est garmin.....

We were put off by the reviews and nearly didn't bother with this, but they're really great scales. Having them on a flat, stable surface is important (our bathroom floor has slightly uneven tiles, so we have it on hardwood elsewhere). A light tap with your toe activates the scales. No home device is ever going to be as accurate as a DEXA, but the readings are pretty accurate - we tested the body fat % with callipers, and the scales seem to be brutally honest 😂 The display on the scales is very clear. Pairing this with a Garmin watch and Cronometer gives us online dashboards (not just phone apps) that supply enough stats to keep us nerdily motivated!

After purchasing these from Amazon UK, I received an invoice from FedEx for £39.07 for import duty, argued that Amazon were the importer but they wouldn't budge and I've had to pay this. The scales look good, weigh accurately but as for some of the other features I'm very dubious of their accuracy. For instance if my weight goes up by 1Kg after the weekend it shows my muscle weight being higher by a corresponding percentage which of course is nonsense, similarly if my weight goes down. The initial body fat percentages were far higher than the professional machine I'd been using but Garmin say in their literature if you have your own figures from a Dexa machine or similar to manually enter these body percentages and then miraculously it simply mirrors them going forwards, altering the muscle mass as your weight varies week to week. It seems that they know their own machine isn't accurate - A waste of money if you want to measure performance /gains over a period - according to these scales and the way they work, all I need to do is stuff my face to put on 5Kg and it will say I've put on 1-2Kg of muscle, regardless of the body composition.

I had to buy this particular scale as my Garmin Vivoactive 5 watch will not allow manual body fat input. You have to buy the scale (sold separately) if you want to maximize your watch's usefulness. The scale works great and set up is a breeze. Contrary to some articles found online, you DO NOT need to buy an ANT+ dongle to connect to your computer. The scale will share date with your devices via wi-fi. Scale accuracy is on par with other electro impedance scales - so/so. Great if you're looking for a general trend, poor if you require spot-on accuracy.
