I like my Garmin Fenix 6 just fine. I am a fitness enthusiast and have recently become more scientific about calories, macros, and body composition. I get DEXA scans every few months and would like to be able to to add this information to Garmin Connect. Garmin has this locked down so you are forced to buy their scale. While I hate that they do this, I was willing to buy the scale for this feature alone. Sadly, I can't in good conscience buy something with such terrible customer reviews. The reviews across the internet are atrocious. Highly inaccurate, difficult to connect or maintain connection to wifi, horrible experience if using for more than one person in the house, etc.. I simply will not buy this for $150 knowing that it has a bad reputation and has driven so many people to the point of madness trying to troubleshoot this old tech. Why wouldn't they just charge a "fee" to unlock the feature allowing you to manually input your BF% in Garmin Connect? At least then I wouldn't have to 1) feel like a fool for spending money on something that I know is a poor product, and 2) have to go through the frustration. Hopefully Garmin is listening to the reviews and creating a new solution that people like and is actually good for their brand. If I can't make this work, I'll likely have to look at a competitive solution (my watch is due for a replacement anyways).
Thank you!
