Is this scale compatible with all Garmin connected watches, especially the Garmin Fenix 5X Sapphire?
The scale is connected to the account so I assume it is compatible with everything. I also have a 5x and it works fine.
You connect the scale to the Garmin Cloud via WiFi. You can see the values on the scale, on the SmartPhone app and on the web. I have not yet seen the scale values on my Garmin watch.

When a user name is shown on the display, tap the scale to switch to the next user.
The machine distinguishes between users based on weight and frequency of use. If another person with similar data to you is using the machine, the machine may select the wrong person.

It can be repaired, but it will cost almost as much as the purchase price at the time.
Have had the scale for years and no connection problems at all. Never had any, except for the 4 days when all Garmin services did not work.
I mean it say length 31 and width 35 - and as I have big feet (no joke), I just wonder if it will work well. On smaller scales, my toes do stick outside and it is not easy to find a good position. So will measurement of fat, water, etc. work well for people with big feet (like 50+)?

It's lucky that not all of our ancestors behaved like that and that there were some who used their curiosity to bring us forward. Of course, you could still cook on an open fire, but an induction cooker is a fine thing.
I'm on my 3rd charge of batteries after a good 4 years of use in a 3-person household.

Hello
Is your Garmin Connect app up to date? Possibly delete and reinstall?
Are you connecting via 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz? 5GHz is not supported by the scale.
Here are a few more tips from Garmin

Heya, in the Connect app all the data of the scale for the respective person is displayed, including changes. Only the connection between the scale and the app does not work perfectly.

Our prices are always dependent on various factors, such as the purchasing conditions of the supplier. In addition, we always work with daily prices. Therefore, the price of an offer can change at any time. I ask for your understanding.
As far as I know, the Fenix cannot connect the scale directly as a sensor. The scale transmits the data to Garmin Connect and makes it available. Together with the data from the Fenix.

The question about the measurement accuracy cannot be answered in a general way. However, together with Garmin support, I can make this statement:
You will get the most accurate results if you use the device under the same conditions and at about the same time each time. Activities that temporarily affect your weight and fluid balance and distribution may affect the accuracy of the readings. Garmin recommends waiting two hours after you have eaten, drunk, exercised, bathed, or visited the sauna before using the device.
-Body Mass Index (BMI): Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in metres squared. BMI is often used to estimate whether someone is underweight or overweight.
-Muscle mass: Muscle mass is the total mass accounted for by muscles. It is measured in pounds, kilograms or stones and pounds. The Garmin Index Smart scale measures and records skeletal muscle mass. Skeletal muscle consists of voluntary muscles that can be controlled by conscious movements. Muscle mass does not include cardiac or smooth muscles, which move without conscious control. Some examples of muscles that are not measured by the scale are: Heart, arteries, veins and gastrointestinal tract.
-Bone mass: Bone mass is the total mass accounted for by bones. It is measured in pounds, kilograms or stones and pounds.
-Body fat percentage: Body fat percentage is the percentage of total mass that is accounted for by fat. This includes both essential fat and depot fat. Essential body fat is required for the body to function normally.
-Body water percentage: Body water percentage is the percentage of total mass that is accounted for by fluids. This measurement can give an indication of your fluid balance.
