Feature request: Different units by user.

I have the S1 scale and would consider upgrading if the scale would change units to a user specified option when it detects who is on the scale, overriding the default. My wife prefers stones and pounds and I prefer kg. Is this something that could be implemented in a future software release?

This is something that could be implemented in future software release but likely wont be, since the scale already has so much issues. My advice is that you wait and you do not upgrade to S2, because data it gives is just garbage and not accurate (body fat for example).

Done, thanks for the link.

I’m not much bothered about the other metrics than weight. I don’t think any consumer scale is particularly accurate for those anyway. I have 4 years or more of data for the s1 and the fat measurements don’t seem particularly accurate there either.

Seeing that units are set by a hardware switch, not sure how easy that would be to implement. Presumably the user can set their Garmin Connect account to show the desired units after weighing?

the switch can just be used as a default with user preference as an override. It is of course possible to see it in the app in units of choice but better to see it in the scale without having to go check again elsewhere.
