Upgrading from a Fitbit ecosystem and found this on sale. I do not expect body fat % to be super accurate, but I like keeping a record of weight trend, etc.

Also available at Ryda with $4.95 delivery ($0 C&C)

  The real question is: This or Renpho for $40?

    I agree, Renpho. You can sometimes get them for under $30.

    Hard to justify the price difference - but I would assume this would sync pretty effortlessly with your Garmin app.

    I had trouble getting Rhenpo to sync with MyFitnessPal and Garmin - I think the workaround was to make it sync to Samsung Health first. But I'd rather have to do that than waste $150

      I have the original Index and it's actually a pain in the arse to sync to wifi

    or Xiaomi Mi smart scale which was as low as $15.

  What does this do better than Xiaomi Mi smart scale for $30?

    Garmin connect do NOT allow user to enter their own body fat%, you can only use this overpriced scale to enter it.

      I use the Withings scale. Push from the Withings Health app to Fitbit and then from Fitbit into Garmin Connect.

      Works a treat.

        Does it sync the body fat % as well? Ive been using my fitbit aria and then syncing to myfitnesspal but it doesn't sync the body fat% to garmin connect and it's been affecting my stats in garmin connect.

          @heeatseggs: Ughhh omg. No just weight and BMI.

          This is gonna cause my OCD and my ozbargin obsession problems.

    I have a Xiaomi scale, and my hydration level and body fat % has never changed regardless of how much exercise I do or water I drink. I don't know if this does better but the only thing I trust on the Xiaomi scale is the weight.

    • 

      Herb Utsmellz on 01/08/2022 - 13:46

      Pretty sure they are very similar in that regard across the board

      • 

        ilu on 03/08/2022 - 20:51

        Correct.

        Everything but weight are assumptions you can ask any website to guess for you based on given weight, height, age, gender. This stays true regardless of how much you spend on smart scales.

  $50 and I'll buy it.

  Mad pricing

    They are not targeting people like you

      What, people like me who have several Garmin devices and am completely entrenched in the ecosystem?

        Jessie Ryder on 02/08/2022 - 08:47

        If you are in the Garmin ecosystem you should know the pricing.
        Garmin don't target people who's budget is $50 for a smart scale.

        Go get a Chinese scale and be happy for $50

  Seems the same as buying a $600 toaster?

  I had the S1 for about 3 years, then it broke and I tried alternatives:

  Withings: most of the time it only recorded weight and not the other stats so I ended up returning it

  Renpho: does all the readings and more similar to garmin and has a built in rechargeable battery but you need your mobile near by and the app open to sync via bluetooth

  The Garmin was good for the wifi because I just had to step and it did it's on thing but costs too much

  The body fat these scales use are more of an estimation, if you have too much muscle they are way off.

  At the moment I keep using the Renpho scale track the weight and but also use the Renpho bluetooth tape measure to track the other measurements.

  It's better to use real measurements with a tape on you waist, abdomen, muscles etc than to rely on the arbitrary fat % number these scales give based on your weight.
