🔢 Garmin Index Smart Scale: Wi-Fi Digital Scale with 16 User Recognition, Long Battery Life, in White Review

Initial setup went well. The scale is linked to the Garmin app. That's why I bought a Garmin smart scale so all my readings are automatically uploaded to the app. I use my phone's hotspot (Wi-Fi) to connect. Since initial setup. I had to reset/connect it every time. The ONLY time it connects properly is when my phone is connected to another wifi and sharing it over a hotspot. That means I just paid 3x what a normal digital scale would STILL input by itself. This data is my weight, since there…

I would like to start by saying that I am an enthusiastic Garmin customer. As a pro athlete, I had loads of watches and bike computers, which is great.

You must be using Garmin Connect on your phone and Wi-Fi to take full advantage of this device. I personally have a Garmin watch and it works great as all my data is visible on Garmin Connect. Difficult to share with other services. Pros: - It's…

I am a long time Garmin user and have been doing endurance sports for over 20 years. The scale looks great and feels like a quality device. I had no trouble setting up a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connection for myself and connecting my wife's Garmin Connect profile. However, the software associated with this Garmin product has yet to be patched.
