Evidence-based evaluation by medical professionals
"Great for weight-focused users in the Garmin ecosystem, less so for precise body-composition tracking."
We evaluated the Garmin Index S2 over eight weeks with 42 participants (22 female, 20 male). Weight readings were benchmarked against a calibrated Class III medical scale; body-composition outputs were compared with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The S2 showed excellent weight precision (±0.2 kg) but an 8.2 % average deviation for total body-fat percentage, increasing to 11.5 % in women. Muscle-mass estimates were the least accurate, averaging a 13 % deviation. Hardware build quality, OLED display legibility, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity all ranked highly. However, the device lacks segmental analysis and offers minimal correction algorithms for sex-specific impedance differences. At $150, its value is good for Garmin Connect users but may disappoint athletes needing lab-grade body-composition metrics.
