The Index S2 features a new weight trend chart, improved accuracy, and a variety of biometrics that the company believes will be useful for both serious athletes and health-conscious individuals. Data is transmitted wirelessly via Wi-Fi to a Garmin Connect account, allowing users to view detailed health information in one place.
The new weight trend chart highlights normal weight fluctuations by displaying a graph of your weight readings for the previous 30 days on an on-screen widget, giving you a better picture of the big picture.
Athletes who track their weight fluctuations to monitor their hydration levels can use the Index S2 scale’s on-screen difference display to see the difference between their current and previous weigh-ins. This information can help them determine how much fluid they should drink to compensate for lost water after an intense workout.
The Index S2 measures a wide range of biometrics, including weight, body fat percentage, body mass index, skeletal muscle mass, bone mass, and body water percentage. The device has a weather widget to help plan your day. Widgets can be turned on and off to display only the data relevant to specific goals.
You can set up the scale using the instruction manual, which is available through the Garmin Connect app. The Index S2 then automatically syncs to your Garmin Connect account via Wi-Fi (no phone required). Weight readings and biometric data are integrated into the Garmin Connect app, where users can view charts and trends by day, week, month, and year. The Index S2 is suitable for a family or a whole team – it can be used by up to 16 people.
