Adding a weigh in, it's giving different weights in stone

So today I added a weigh in as 11 stone 10 pounds. Yet after clicking ok it's showing as 12 stone 10 pounds.

The bmi is the same as my usual 11 stone 10 pounds. 

Is this happening to anyone else? 

Why is it showing a stone more than what I am entering?

  • Same with mine. 1 stone heavier and historically too. I don't have the scales just the app and the 265s running watch. I would expect it to get fixed as soon as considering the cost of these gadgets. I've got round it for now by putting my weight in 1 stone lighter but my graph has plummeted - wish it was that easy to drop a stone RoflRofl

  • Looks like a rounding error. I assume that the weight is stored as kilogrammes and converted when displayed by the app. The stones are rounded up when the remainder is over 7lb, for this calculation, the stones should always be rounded down (truncated). 

    The historical data is correct on my app because the remainder was always less than 7lbs. I only have a problem now that I have dipped below a stone boundary and the remainder is more than 7lbs.

    This should be easy to fix.

  • It is rounding to the nearest stone so, for example, 162lbs is rounding up to 12st 8 lbs and 160lbs is rounding to 11st 6 lbs.

    It will display the correct weight if you change it to show lbs only so there is no need to go through changing data while awaiting a fix.

  • Change the display to lbs only until it is fixed.

  • When you enter your weight e.g. 14 stone. It records as 15 stone. How can this be fixed?

  • I've joined your post to the main thread. Also, see post from  and response from Garmin Support.

    I've had this response from Garmin today 

    Thank you for contacting Garmin Support. This is a known issue, we do have a fix pending that will be implemented in an upcoming update to resolve it. This will apply to your past entries as well, I apologize for the inconvenience. 

  • Did they get back to you ? 

  • I know you're not asking me this question. But.... I have contacted Garmin support twice on this, and have had no reply at all now. Just generic automated replies saying they'll be in touch. It's been weeks. No reply despite chasing them up.

  • For those using stones for weight, I'm curious if the Garmin Connect 4.71 update fixed this or not.
