BMI showing as 97.1

Hi, everyone-

I'm a new Garmin user, and am puzzled by my BMI displaying in the GCM app as 97.1 (I think I'd be dead)... at first I assumed this was due to the fact that I'd entered my weight in the app before getting the watch, so without a height reference it assumed I was some minimal height, and calculated my BMI as 99 at the time. Then I got my watch and entered my height, age, etc into it. But many syncs later, the BMI is still showing in the high 90s.

This feature is not a huge deal to me (as I can always calculate my BMI manually), but it would be cool if it were accurate.

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed!

Make sure you’ve correctly entered your height and weight in the appropriate units.

philipshambrook, thanks for the reply. I just checked the watch, and indeed everything is correctly entered in the proper units... feet, inches and pounds.

This must be an Android thing then as I can't see this in GCM on the mobile for IOS.

What do you have set for your height in the app?

Settings -> User Settings -> Height
