Running your dream race, participating in that once-in-a-lifetime competition and leading a healthy lifestyle all require careful planning, and you need a way to track your progress.

Garmin has the devices you need to develop a personalized plan of action to achieve your goals. With the Index™ S2 smart scale, you’ll be able to record and see details about your body composition as you work toward those health goals.

Smart Scale Features

The Index S2 smart scale is jam-packed with features that make all the difference for your health and fitness journey. The digital smart scale tracks your weight, body mass index, body fat percentage, bone mass, body water percentage and more.

For the most accurate results, step on the scale barefoot first thing in the morning before you eat, drink or exercise — because Garmin believes that accurate data is important when it comes to achieving your health and fitness goals.

• Weight/Weight Trend: Developing a healthier, more active lifestyle can lead to tangible results on the scale. Depending on your preference, you can track your weight in either pounds, kilograms, or both stones and pounds. If you want to see how your weight has fluctuated over the last 30 days, you can use the weight trend setting and see a line graph of your recorded weigh-ins. If you use the scale multiple times a day, your last weigh-in will be used as your recorded weight for the day.

• Body Mass Index (BMI): If one of your health goals is to lose weight, having a scale that can determine your BMI is a must. BMI is used to estimate overall body mass and whether someone is overweight or underweight. BMI is also helpful in understanding your risk for diseases depending on your body fat. The smart scale calculates your BMI by taking your weight in kilograms and dividing it by your height in meters squared.

• Body Fat Percentage: While striving to feel your best, it is also important to note that part of that process is having healthy fat, which plays a vital role in the overall functioning of your body, including digestion and metabolism. To keep your temperature regulated and have maximum energy for continuous training and exercising, having essential and stored fat is vital. This smart scale allows you to keep track of your body fat percentage, ensuring that you are happy and healthy as you burn calories.

• Skeletal Muscle Mass: For any athlete, building muscle is an exciting part of the process. Unfortunately, we often mistake our newfound muscles as fat when we hop on the scale and see the number go up. Keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat. With the skeletal muscle mass feature, you will be able to track how much weight is just your growing muscles.

• Bone Mass: To grow stronger and protect ourselves against injury, our bones must be filled with calcium. In order for that to happen, vitamin D must become an essential part of our diet. To see the strength of our bones, the smart scale has a bone mass feature that will tell you how much of your weight is attributed to bone mass.

• Body Water Percentage: While hydration is important year-round, it is even more important when the weather heats up or when we frequent hot workout classes. To see how hydrated you are, the body water percentage calculates how much of your weight can be attributed to fluids.

• Weight Options: If your goal is to just keep track of your weight and not your body composition, you have the option to disable those settings so you just see your weight. If you want to see how your body fluctuates throughout the day, you can weigh in multiple times and keep track of it on the scale and in the Garmin Connect™ app.

To see your data, connect the Garmin smart scale to the Garmin Connect app via BLUETOOTH® technology. Once you do this, you can add your home Wi-Fi® for quicker syncing.

The Index S2 smart scale encourages you to accomplish your health goals, and your family and friends can join you. The smart scale can add up to 16 profiles and allows each user to see their own profile on their Garmin Connect account.
