BMI Is Bad Metric, Are there plans to a More Accurate Health Metric?

Currently the Garmin eco system uses BMI which is a terribly inaccurate metric for a lot of the population. E.g. race, muscle mass easily skew the results to be worthless.

Are there any plans for garmin to swap to something that is a little more accurate and versatile? Even the BRI (Body Roundness Index) would be better than BMI. for a larger percentage of the population.

Garmin doesn't typically disclose future plans. New hardware and features are announced in their official press releases - Garmin Newsroom - Corporate Press Releases. Any information on the forums would be merely speculation and rumor.

Meanwhile, I recommend suggesting it to Garmin at Share Ideas | Garmin
