Very low Muscle mass compared to Tanita weight (approx 50%)

I just recently bought the Index scale - previously had a Tanita connected to my garmin profile.

If I compare the data from the 2 weights BF% and muscle mass if very different. BF% approx 5% lower than the Tanita - which seems to be a common problem that it is 5% off. But muscle mass is completely off - used to get readings between 36,5kg and 37kg on the Tanita but with this scale I get 18,3 - 18,6kg... that just around 50%. According to Gamin Connect the number should still include both muscle and water in the muscles - but that does not seem to be the case.

Does anyone else get this type of low reading?
