Garmin officially launched the Cirqa Smart Band on August 11, its first screenless fitness tracker designed to monitor health and fitness without a display [1, 2, 3]. The band offers up to 10 days of battery life between charges [1, 3].
The Cirqa continuously tracks heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, skin temperature, stress, and motion 24/7 to provide comprehensive wellness data [1, 2, 3]. It can automatically track more than 80 activities including running, yoga, and walking, and offers insights like recovery time [1, 3]. Sleep monitoring features include stages, breathing patterns, heart rate, and a sleep score to assess rest quality [1].
Women can use the skin temperature sensor to improve menstrual cycle tracking with better period predictions and ovulation estimates [1]. The band connects to smartphones using Connected GPS to track activity routes [3].
The Cirqa has a physical sensor module about 47mm long, designed to fit larger wrists, and includes a single side button for cycling through favorite activities for quick tracking [1, 2, 3]. It comes with adjustable fabric straps and is available in seven colors, including Black, Captain Blue, French Gray, Mauve, Dark Olive, French Blue, and Citron Gray [1, 2, 3].
Garmin emphasized the Cirqa requires no subscription to access core health and tracking features, a notable difference from many competitors [1, 2, 3]. The device retails for $199.99 according to most sources, though one states a rounded price of $200 [1, 2, 3].
The Cirqa is now available for purchase through Garmin’s online store [1, 3].
