Why We Like The Index S2 Smart Scale
Whether you're training for a tri, making a commitment to getting healthy, or just working on getting ready for summer, Garmin's Index Smart Scale makes sticking to your plan a whole lot easier. It does all the classic scale things: weighing in pounds, kilograms, and even stone. It also tracks body mass index, body fat percentage, bone mass, and skeletal muscle mass, all of which are important data points for high-level athletes. The Index can recognize and remember up to 16 different users, and of course it can sync to Garmin Connect, the online platform that lets you track and analyze all your workout data, so you can see exactly how your workouts correspond to your goals.

Pricey Scale for Sub-Average Measurements
After having this for over 2 weeks and comparing with scales at 1/4 the cost, I'd have to say that this is very pricey compared to other offerings, especially as the Fat % seems to be way overblown. While other scales put me at way lower values this one seems very high. The primary reason for getting this or the more cheaper options is the automated Garmin Connect integration which helps me to track my weight and other stats over time.

Terrible experience
The scale does not recognize me. My partner used it before me and now it thinks I weigh 100 pounds — can’t change it and it messed up all my garmin stats

Nice Upgrade from the S1
Had my S2 for awhile now. It was an upgrade from the S1. I have to say the scale has everything I wanted and the display is sooo much improved!

I bought a brick
I’ve been unable to get the scale to work once since I unboxed it. It immediately needed a software update which was unclear if it even completed successfully and since then it turns on when i tap it and then blinks like it thinks im wearing socks and shuts off with taking any measurements. it also doesn’t connect the app via bluetooth. I’ve gone through the factory reset and standard reset options dozens of times. I’m pretty sure it’s just a fancy glass brick

Piece of junk that won't connect. Failed product
I bought this through the website on February and it has been nothing but a pain to set up and use. It was impossible to pair, took so long to connect to wifi, and It only accepted one Garmin connect profile in pairing the one time I got it to pair successfully.Yet, after a firmware upgrade it never paired with app and wifi again. I tried to pair using both updated Android (Pixel) phone and iphone, more than 20 times I tried to reset it and pair yet everytime I get a message "Pairing failed". I’ve followed the suggested support recommendations to reset and no good. This is the MOST EXPENSIVE scale on the market yet it can't event connect to the company's app, it's fails to do its job and you can't set up two profiles. Garmin should be ashamed of themselves for putting their name on such a failure of a product. My partner and I both own Garmin watched but NEVER AGAIN will we buy a garmin product as your company has CLEARLY failed to develop products worth their customers money.

Great weight
Bought this about a month ago and it’s been great more accurate than my last scale and keeps it all together with my watch and app.

Good product - missing insights
I bought this recently and over all it does perform what is needed to track your metrics. That being said - for me - it is missing insights in the Connect App which cheaper smart scales have. For example, how is your body fat compared to your age bracket. Are you out of a good range with any of your metrics. I would give this 5 stars if the app had those basic features. I do think there was a missed opportunity in that area.

Disappointing
I bought the scale a while ago. After my withings scale broke The UI is kind of clunky but I can’t change the profile on the scale, it doesn’t connect my connect app — my partner weighed themselves on it before I did and now only their guest profile shows up. They weigh a lot less than me, garmin connect took their weights and messed up all my training readiness. There’s no simple way to delete the data or have the scale recognize my user. Very disappointing
