Too soon to tell, have only had it for a month
It's too soon to tell if I like it or not. I just switched from a Fitbit Aria to Garmin Index, and my body fat % is completely different. Fitbit said it was 17% (after decreasing from 26% over months of working out), while Garmin scale says it's 25%. So, I don't know which one to believe, and how they each calculate this number.

Inaccurate body fat % measurements. I ended up returning it. I'll hold out until there's a four point body fat % scale from Garmin.

Mine couldn't even complete setup
I got this straight from Garmin and spent 3 hours trying to get it to pair to the network and take a reading, to no avail. Endless syncing screens, tried resetting and now It can't even find a single wifi network. I think their software is quite buggy, and it might also have a janky wifi chip in it. Unfortunately I have to return it as it's just a paperweight.

Failure
Love the concept. Love the linkage with my Garmin account and devices. However the scale is impossible to use. Multiple attempts have to made to get it to register, or a reset has to be done. Takes a good 3-5 minutes before it ‘wakes up’.

Calculations need improvement
I am active and not overweight, I am 5’08” at 220 lbs. with it being a smart scale that can compute your muscle weight, it has my BMI and body fat percentage extremely high (straight off a chart reading instead of calculating the actual muscle mass, body fat percentage and BMI)

Very nice indeed.
Lovely functionality and appearance - took many, many attempts to set up. The features definitely help to change lifestyle for the better.

Great Investment in Your Health!
Best health equipment investment you can make if you are serious about monitoring your overall physical body stats without having to manually keep track. Stats go right into Garmin Connect as well as Apple Health and other apps. Easy to use and add other household members.

Weight is accurate, everything else is way off!
I can't recommend this scale. It's typical Garmin quality, but the body composition metrics are so far off as to be useless. Weight is spot on, body fat percentage compared to a Dexa scan is about 10 percentage points high (meaning mine as measured on a DEXA is about 14% and on the S2 is 24%!!), and bone density weight is about half or less of what it should be. It might be useful for tracking trends, but that's not why I bought it. I unfortunately got it through a pro deal and can't return it...great.
