Garmin 400-lb Index S2 Smart Black Bathroom Scale with Body Fat Indicator

Don't buy - can not connect to WiFi.

I bought this expensive “smart” scale, only to find out that it connects only to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Modern routers use both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Many combine them into one network and Index S2 has trouble connecting to this setup. I should not have to buy additional networking equipment just to connect a smart scale to my home Wi-Fi. For a product at this price, I expected much better Wi-Fi compatibility. Very disappointing. It feels like a waste of money.

Great, but can be finicky.

I like my scale a lot. I knocked off one star because it can be very finicky when linking to a phone which can be frustrating. Otherwise, it's great and I love how it links with Garmin Connect so all of my info is in one place.

Don't buy it.

I haven't had this scale even a year yet, and it's worthless. Right out of the box I had connectivity issues, but somehow got it to work. Well I went on vacation for 2 wks, came back, it said that it hadn't synced since 2 days before I left...and no matter how I try...and I've tried every trick A.I. has advised me on...I can't get it to hold the wifi, even on 2.4 mhz, or even recognize me now, and I'm the only user. I'm going to call them and either get a replacement (although I don't think t...

Impossible to establish Wi-Fi connection.

I spent 4 hours attempting to get the scale to connect to my home Wi-Fi. Very disappointing experience as I have had 3 garmin watches and the original garmin scale. I love garmin and always recommend to family and friends. Unfortunately, this product was a disappointment. I ended up returning the product.

Great once updated

Once I got it working its been great! Be warned that it might take a few minutes while the computer/scale makes any updates. The directions mention this but there's no messaging on the unit while the update is actually happening.

Nice. I love it. I love it

Not a good purchase

On our scale we have two users. For my wife it works fine, for myself the weight just bounces around never settles and never gets a reading. I have tried multiple restarts, and nothing helps. I would not recommend this scale to anyone as it is usless to myself.

Glitchy with the Garmin app

The rating is really for setup, not the scale. Setting up a second person was absolutely horrible, going through the connect app I could do nothing to connect the second person just a endless loop of the scale resetting and deleting the current user. After many attempts and way to much time involved I was about to sent the scale back. I then researched online and found many others with the same issue going back as far as four years ago. I finally found a thread where someone said to use the garm...

Not it!

Buying this product I had high expectations since I have multiple garmin tools. Unfortunately right off the back I was disappointed! The weight was inaccurate, the body fat percentage was off and the muscle amount was off as well. For a good while I was unable to calibrate the scale due to an update that would not process. Fortunately I stumbled onto this speed bump and figured out the problem. The slick look is fine and all but what im interested in is accuracy and functionality! This scale isn...

2ghz wifi only (no google wifi)

This product just doesn't work with modern routers like google wifi that dont allow to specifically broadcast 2.5ghz. I followed every possible solution, and nothing worked.
