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't it! Honestly if I continue to have problems I'll either return it or just give it away. Extremely disappointed...

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.

Horrible battery management
This scale is great and accurate. One major issue I have with it is that it goes through the 4 AA batteries once a week.

Great scale
This is a great scale gives you all the important information on your body and sends to your phone for easy access anytime you want it.

Poor performance for premium price
Doesn’t turn on consistently without either picking it up or several tries over a couple of minutes. Doesn’t sync well with Garmin app. Skeletal muscle readings vary widely. Occasional Wild readings. Way too much trouble for the cost with limited data compared to competition. The only reason I went with this scale was because of its sync to Garmin app capabilities, but that is very problematic. Also, body fat, skeletal muscle, etc. readings are SO SIGNIFICANTLY different than Dexascan that I can’t rely on them. So, I canWill be returning for refund. Will go back to using my cheap scale that works immediately and consistently, and manually enter weight onto Garmin app.

DO NOT BUY! 0-2 on smart scales.
DO NOT BUY! Let me start with I’m an avid Gamin user, I love my Tactix 8 and the metrics it provides. I wanted to pair my watch with the smart scale to complete my eco system. Unfortunately I was extremely disappointed with my purchase. Almost immediately I ran into issues with pairing the first smart scale device, forcing the user to connect to WiFi and the connect app is absolutely abysmal for such a simple product. It made the scale freak out and get stuck in pairing mode. So of course I began troubleshooting and rebooting ect. Utilizing all the Garmin support forums/directions and still…… Nothing! So me being a beloved Garmin fan and user i chalked it up to a Lemon scale, no biggie.Technology isn’t full proof. I then exchanged my purchase and retried the process with the new scale. I will say the second time around the device pairing went smoothly. My hopes were high….. then I try to test out the second scale and nothing, darkeness, tap….. tap… tap… it just DOESN'T work. I tried troubleshooting everything AGAIN! Absolutely zero response from the device, new batteries, hard reset, the whole kitchen sink. NOTHING. This experience has made me lose faith in the Garmin brand and software. Save yourself the trouble, skip the smart scale. Please do better Garmin.

Not as smart as advertised.
I bought this about a year ago. I honestly despise it. My weight ranges from 175-180 lbs. I added my wife as a secondary user (she weighs about 113 lbs). She'll weigh herself, then I'll weigh myself, and it will tell me that I've gained 65 lbs overnight. It forgets me periodically, so I'll have to reset it, then it can't find the wifi (router is 10 ft. away). I've deleted it from the Connect app and re-added it probably a dozen times. Nothing smart about this scale. Waste of money and time.

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 garmin connect on the desktop computer to add the second user, that worked. Shame on Garmin for not fixing a bug in their app that caused a lot of frustration, I'm sure many scales have been returned for the same issue. The scale itself is very nice and works great.
