About Garmin Index S2, Smart Scale with Wireless Connectivity
Overall Feedback:
72% positive
64% praised for its accurate weight readings, while 36% found it inconsistent
I am extremely happy with how this scale measures weight, indicating its high level of accuracy.
I noticed that the scale is inaccurate and the weight reading fluctuates by 2-6 lbs when stepping on it again after a minute. I don't care about weight and am more interested in other metrics.
Rephrased: The scale is inaccurate and weight reading fluctuates by 2-6 lbs when stepping on it again after a minute. I am more interested in other metrics than weight.
I noticed that the scale showed a significant change in my weight and body composition, which seems inaccurate.
Even though it doesn't need to be perfectly accurate, the scale is highly unreliable.
62% appreciated the long battery life, though 38% were not satisfied
I have been using the scale for almost a year and have not had to change the batteries yet, which is a positive aspect.
The battery life is not great. I would expect it to last at least 6 months, but it lasts maybe half that.
61% liked the sleek and compact design
I was impressed with the build quality of the scale when I opened the box.
I find the design and build of the Garmin Index S2 impressive, especially the sleek design and easy-to-read display.
The scale is of high quality and built well.
The scale is made of quality materials.
61% liked the clear and bright display, while 39% found it hard to read
There are many customizable screens available on the scale display.
I have complained that the screen of the Garmin Index S2 Weight scale is too small to read and doesn't stay on long enough.
Rephrased: The screen of my Garmin Index S2 Weight scale is too small to read and doesn't stay on long enough.
65% found it easy to operate
The top rated weight scales are easy to set up and their smartphone app provides all the measured information including weight, BMI, bone, muscle, water, fat, lean body mass, subcutaneous fat, and total fat.
Set-up was easy and it integrates well with Garmin Connect.
61% liked the instant weight reading with step-on technology, but 39% experienced delay
Stepping on the scale does not turn it on.
I found that the product doesn't wake up when I step on it. I returned the first one and the second one has the same issue. However, I discovered a solution by lifting the front of the scale and letting it down to make it work.
The scale requires a tap to wake it up, which can be a pain for some people.
60% appreciated its high weight capacity, though 40% found it limited
I like that the scale tracks weight to 0.1 pounds.
On a hard surface, the weight of the scale can vary by +/-2 kg (+/- 4 lb) within minutes.
After checking the instruction manual, I set up the scale again and noticed that even slight changes in my posture resulted in significant changes in weight. I had to lean forward to get the scale to register 160lb.
