Wondering if garmin is ever going to allow body fat percentage instead of BMI which can be wildly inaccurate?

If you get an accurate body fat %age then you can change the baseline in the figures supplied by the Index scales.

Allowing a manual body fat percentage would allow those who are not your average joe to have a better gauge of overall fitness

That's already possible. You can import the Body Fat % with a simple CSV file in Garmin Connect Web at https://connect.garmin.com/modern/import-data. 

This is a sample CSV file:

Body
Date,Weight,BMI,Fat
"2022-11-03","71.6","22.6","14.4"

There can be multiple lines of data, but the first 2 header lines appear just once. Use a plain-text editor such as Notepad for creating the file. Do not use any rich-text editors like Word or Wordpad. And avoid Excel.

This is helpful. Is the weight in pounds or kilos? 

Awesome, thanks. Is weight in kilos?

You can choose the format and units when importing the file
