About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
I'm well aware this will probably get voted into oblivion, but thought it was worth posting for the few like me who might be looking for one. Yes there are much, much cheaper options that do 95% of the same job, but none of those sync so neatly into Garmin Connect.
It's almost always in the £119-129 bracket everywhere - the Camels say it's only been this cheap on Amazon twice - once very briefly last summer and again for a while during November. Also worth noting that these hold their value very well, with used examples on ebay well into the high 80s & 90s, so at 100 new with Amazon returns policy in case of any issues this is a good deal.
Maybe there's a newer model on the cards but I haven't seen anything announced. For now if you're in the (excellent) Garmin ecosystem & want the best possible scales, then this is the one.

sorted byMy Renpho are far better and more accurate at 18% of the price.
Just to finish the rant…don’t even bother with Garmin ‘support’, generally I’m a great fan of chain reaction but they totally let me down on this one. (edited)
Anyway, ordered now - that's why I was happy to go with Amazon - if it does turn out to have issues it's an easy return. I've been super happy with my other Garmin products, but perhaps the scale is a bit of the runt of the litter... hoping not tho!
If you're not bothered by Garmin integration then the Withings seems very well regarded, probably can't go far wrong looking at that. (edited)
As for the more in-depth metrics - I can't really speak to those. I don't have any previous measurements to judge them against, so all I can say is that they seem fairly reasonable to me. Consistency is probably more important that absolute accuracy for me (seeing changing trends), so I won't be able to judge how it does for a few weeks at least. If the measurements are bouncing around everywhere then it may well be back to Amazon and look for other solutions, but for now at least I'll stick with it & hope the new firmware really is the promised fix.
