Question 1

Does this work with myfitnesspal? I read it does, but some comments that it doesn't.

Accepted Answer

I found it will only overwrite Garmin Connect if you manually enter the data into MFP. When I originally purchased my Smart Index scale, Garmin Connect flawlessly transferred my weight (only weight as prior commenter mentioned) to MFP. However, at some point that stopped. There are several threads on both the Garmin and MFP forums from mutual users experiencing the same. The work around, for now, is to MANUALLY enter your weight into Garmin Connect, which WILL sync with MFP. So for me, one day a week I'll manually enter my weight into GC without using the scale so that it's updated into MFP without having to break the link between the two apps which allows the Calories stats to be updated in both.

Question 2

Does anyone know if the syncing issues with MFP have been resolved yet?

Accepted Answer

I have the latest firmware and still have regular syncing problems.  I'd stay away.

Question 3

How do you add another user?  i want to add my wife (and she has a garmin connect account), but for the life of me i cannot figure it out.

Accepted Answer

You need to go into your Garmin Connect account (I believe either website or mobile app), click the scale, then invite the user to the scale.  They'll then receive an email or something to finish setting it up with their own account.

Question 4

Does this sync to a Fenix or does one not have anything to do with the other?

Accepted Answer

It synchs to your Garmin connect over wifi. It works very well. Much better than my weight loss
