BMI imapct on fitness age

It would appear that Connect doesn't use BMI if it has Body Fat % instead.

That is what I hear, but entering a BF% is near impossible,,, I have done the CSV upload, it was successfully uploaded, but I cant see it anywhere and fitness age remains unchanged and heavily impacted by BMI

Body Fat% can be seen on the Weight page of Garmin Connect. Once there is a value, the column Body Fat appears in the weight table. If you do not have any such column there, then it means the data was not imported, or it was imported to a different date than you intended (for example because you did not select the correct data format)

Why does it need to be so difficult to circumvent he BMI formula ? 

It is not difficult at all, but if you want it even simpler, you can get the Index weight scale. It then syncs the BodyFat% automatically. Garmin Connect can also read weight automatically from scales of other manufacturers over MyFitnessPal, but since I do not use it, I am not sure whether it syncs also the body fat data too. If you have such scale, you can test it.

How is it not difficult ? Zero interest in a bio impedance scale 

I would appreciate a simple field to fill like BW and a way to turn off the BMI utilization

Importing the CSV file is trivial. Once you have the file on your desktop, you can edit and import it anytime you need in 10 seconds.

You can try requesting it from Garmin at Share Ideas | Garmin, but on my mind you do not have much chance they implement it any time soon. I guess they prefer pushing people to buy their scales.
