Why there are no Index S2 available just anywhere?

I have one ordered and waiting more than one month in a big european retailer. But searching the web, there are no alternatives, nobody seems to have it stock. This is strange. It seems there was a first batch, and then... puuuff! 

I guess the few places that have one, could be a remaining unit from that first batch. 

Could have been something wrong with the first units ? Why this totally lack of supply?

  • I am a long time user of the original index scale, in the scale settings there is an activity class setting that could be adjusted mine was set to the number 7  it matched pretty close to my dexa body scan changing the activity class will change how the numbers are displayed. My body fat numbers under the old index would would range from 13.5% to 9.9% which was probably in the ball park. 

    The new index s2 with the same activity class of 7 has my body fat range 18% to 25% but the interesting thing is as my weight is going down the body fat number is going up. I have not really done much with trying different activity class settings to see if I can get it to act like the old index scale. In all honesty I never have paid much attention to all of the other metrics the scale has to offer. I do really like the weather widget though! 

    I'll try changing the activity class setting a bit and respond back if I get it to act more like my old scale, comparing the old vs the new at this point I would say my old scale gave more accurate body metric numbers but at least the weight is dead on;)

    (Edit) I did try different activity class settings last night class 10 gave me results that are probably fairly close but I would not fall into the the description of class 10 I would be more 7-8.

  • still no delivery in germany... the date gets pushed on a weekly bases...

  • i orderd mine at amazon germany on last Sunday with delivery date 16.5. Today my index s2 arrived. ;)

  • I ordered my scale in Switzerland, November 2020 and received it first of May 2021 with Software Version 2.8.0.0 already installed on it.

  • no scale in sight in germany. no idea what garmin is thinking...

  • After waiting well over a year I finally got mine in Canada about a month ago (April 2021), lucked into it at GPSCity.ca, they said out of stock but expected soon, sure enough it actually arrived about 2 weeks later. I must say it's a nice unit, works great, nice integration with GC, no regrets.

  • nearly at 7 months after i placed my order. still no scale in sight.

    maybe i should preorder the S3 version now, to get "some" scale by next year Slight smile

  • I send a question to Garmin Support (BE/NL) and they had no date on availability either.
    What's happening Garmin? 

  • Got mine 2 weeks ago from Wiggle. Still showing black & white versions in stock for £129.99.
