Premium price in the Garmin ecosystem, not Garmin quality

I'm a longtime Garmin user and generally a big fan of the devices I've had over the years. I don't typically pioneer a new (new) category for a business, but since the underlying technology is fairly common at this scale, I find it a safe extension to get started right away. PROS: Setup and integration with Connect was great. Fit and finish are first class. AAA batteries are also a plus. CONS: Inaccuracies. Weight is actually the last thing I really care about (everything else is more interesting to me and my workout) but once you step on the scale you get a result that is 2-6 pounds higher than when you get up and then back on the scales. a minute later. Some other indicators also change, but not in the same proportion. I can only guess which is which. It's always some sort of estimate of water percentage, bone mass, muscle mass, etc., but consistency is and should be what happens, especially for this price range. I'm hoping some kind of software update can fix this and file a support ticket to see if there are any fixes or recommendations. Crossed fingers!

Pros
  • Looking forward to
Cons
  • Something different
