High Body Fat Values in Index Scale 2 since upgrading to 3.11 firmware

ilalevy over 1 year ago

values used to be between 18-20 till this upgrade, now around 24-25.5.

It's also affecting other Garmin Calculations like Fitness Age (due to wrong and high Body Fat):

saw that Garmin mentioned the last update should improve values but what can be done in case the opposite occurs?

except of Weight and the fact it syncs with Garmin interface, find the results quite useless.

you can try to make a Dexa Scan, so you can calibrate your S2 with this values, works really good for me since January this year

How do I calibrate values in connect ?

I had a Dexa Scan done and calibrated my S2. In the Garmin Connect app, go to:

... -> Garmin Devices -> Index S2 -> User Settings -> Set Body Composition.

There you should be able to enter your Dexa Scan results.

My S2 was fairly accurate. For my wife, she did not need to calibrate. For me, I had to drop a few % points, but not wildly off.

HTH.
