Garmin Index Scale (Consumer review)

[@bruunm1975]

The unit ST refers to Stone. 1 stone is 14 pound.

[@33johnson19]

The gold standard for body fat analysis is the dexa scan. Originally used to detect bone mass density, you can get these most places between $70 and $130.

[@jermaineburrus5272]

Dexa scan is the most accurate to test BF %. Thanks for this video, considering purchasing it.

[@Meven2001]

Did you try the new one ? The Index S2 ? It seems really good and color change the game.

[@mcunhabr]

Is the BF measurement accurate? Some reviewers are complaining about it. If its not acurate, I think it doen't worth the price.

[@Macstechtoybox]

When I compare this to handheld devices, the body fat is about 4% higher on this device. With that being said, the numbers are always consistent therefore if you know it's higher by about 4% then you can subtract. However, as the consumer we should be expecting more accurate results for the price

Thanks for the review! I’m looking to get one today. How’s the scale doing 1 year later? Any changes to date?

[@Macstechtoybox]

No it’s still working fine however I do believe you can get pretty close to similar results with cheaper Scale especially if you are in Apple ecosystem. Check out my wyze scale review in my channel 👍🏿

How do you invite other family members?

[@MrPreeZee]

Does this scale connect to the Apple Health app?

[@Macstechtoybox]

Short answer is yes but you have to force some syncs to happen manually by opening connect app unfortunately

[@MrPreeZee]

Mac's Tech Toy Box hhhhhhmmm ok. I’m debating between this one and the Withing smart scale. But which ever will connect to the health app the best

[@malinyamato]

why do u need battery draining wifi when Bluetooth is well enough. Cant get it!

[@Norbert-yk4jy]

More devices have WiFi, such as your desktop computer, although you can upgrade it.

[@simonpicard6050]

My weight is very off, I am 146-147lbs and the scale says 134lbs and everyone else in my family is off also, did you have this problem?

[@Macstechtoybox]

No I haven't had this problem. Are you using it on a hard even surface?

[@simonpicard6050]

@@Macstechtoybox yes I had it for 3 days now and the weight does not seem to adjust to my real one

[@roxannemcconn4204]

Nice I didn't know that those types of scales were available

[@WillivTV]

Made it to 1:53 seconds into the video and im already convinced not to buy this, the fact that it doesn't come chargeable or just an AC plug makes it not worth the money, at $150 it should not take batteries

[@AnnieIsaLau]

Yes I do admit this is a turn off. I don't want to be changing batteries every 8 months.

[@orsations]

This is not a review, it’s an unboxing.

You clearly didn’t watch the entire video
