Today, Garmin Australia announced Index Smart Scale, a scale with connectivity features and detailed metrics. The Index Smart Scale is another tool that will help Garmin users pursue their health and fitness goals. In addition to weight, it measures body mass index, body fat percentage, water percentage, muscle mass and bone mass. Designed for multiple users, this smart scale has an easy-to-use interface and automatically uploads measurements over Wi-Fi® to Garmin Connect™. The Index Smart Scale is the first body composition monitor integrated directly into the Garmin ecosystem of products.
“The Index Smart Scale is an exciting addition to the Garmin lineup,” said Matt DeMoss, General Manager, Garmin Australasia. “We designed this Smart Scale to be both beautiful and functional, and with it we’re able to complete the wellness circle of weight management. We’re also excited to offer this as an option to our millions of running, cycling and multisport athletes who are looking for a smart solution to track body composition data along with the rest of their data in Garmin Connect.”
It offers a quick and user-friendly setup, using a smartphone1, WiFi2 or ANT+™3. It also has sleek, modern design with a bright LCD display and extra large numbers for easy visibility.
Supporting up to 16 different users, the Index Smart Scale is perfect for sports teams or even small businesses looking to start wellness initiatives. The Index Smart Scale can recognise each user and automatically upload data to their individual Garmin Connect accounts. By simply stepping on the scale, it will recognise the user and wirelessly sync their measurements, making their data available online or in the recently updated Garmin Connect mobile app. With the available sleep and activity tracking4 already in Garmin Connect, the addition of weight tracking gives Garmin users a more comprehensive view of their health and wellness. Users can even link their MyFitnessPal account with Garmin Connect to automatically sync calorie and nutrition information for even more data such as active and consumed calories, and remaining calories (based on goals set in MyFitnessPal).
Index Smart Scale will be available in November in both black and white for a recommended retail price of AU$249.00.
