Much More Than a Weighing Scales

The Garmin Index S2 Smart Scale takes the ordinary bathroom scales and turns it into a connected health and fitness tracker.

Step onto it and, as well as measuring your weight, the Index S2 can estimate and track body fat percentage, BMI, skeletal muscle mass, bone mass and body water percentage.

Even better, your measurements can be automatically sent over Wi-Fi to Garmin Connect, allowing you to follow your progress on your phone rather than trying to remember what the scales said last week.

If you already use a Garmin smartwatch or fitness tracker, the Index S2 makes even more sense — your weight and body-composition information becomes part of the same Garmin Connect ecosystem as your other fitness data.

How Does It Work?

Initial setup is carried out using the Garmin Connect app on your compatible smartphone.

Once you've created your profile and connected the Index S2 to your home Wi-Fi, everyday use is incredibly simple.

Step onto the scale barefoot and stand still.

The Index S2 measures your weight and uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to estimate your body composition. It sends a tiny electrical current from one foot through the body to the other. You don't feel this current, but the scale can analyse the returned signal to estimate different aspects of your body composition.

Your results appear on the scale's colour display and, when connected to Wi-Fi, are automatically uploaded to your Garmin Connect account.

That means you don't even need to have your phone beside you every time you weigh yourself.

What Does It Measure?

Weight

Measures your body weight and lets you choose between kilograms, pounds or stones and pounds.

Weight Trend

Instead of becoming obsessed with small daily changes, the Index S2 can display a 30-day weight trend graph, giving you a much better picture of whether your weight is actually moving up or down over time.

Body Mass Index – BMI

Uses your weight and height information to calculate your Body Mass Index.

Body Fat Percentage

Provides an estimate of the percentage of your total body mass made up of body fat.

Skeletal Muscle Mass

Estimates how much of your body weight is attributable to skeletal muscle — particularly interesting if you're training, exercising or trying to build muscle.

Body Water Percentage

Estimates the percentage of your total body mass made up of water, providing another useful measurement to track over time.

Bone Mass

Provides an estimate of the amount of your total weight attributable to bone mass.

Great for Garmin Watch Owners

This is probably our favourite feature.

If you're already using a Garmin smartwatch, you can bring your activity and fitness information together with your Index S2 measurements inside Garmin Connect.

Instead of your weighing scales being a completely separate device, it becomes another part of your Garmin fitness setup.

Up to 16 Users

And it isn't restricted to one person.

The Index S2 can support up to 16 individual user profiles, with each person able to have their own measurements and Garmin Connect account.

That makes it a great smart scale for couples, families or even sports and fitness environments.
