Garmin has unveiled the Cirqa Smart Band, a screenless health and fitness tracker designed to provide continuous health monitoring without the distractions of a display. Priced at $199.99, the Cirqa offers a subscription-free experience, allowing users to access all their data and health insights through Garmin’s Connect App. (bikeradar.com)
The Cirqa’s design is reminiscent of Whoop’s wearable smart band, featuring a sleek and unobtrusive form that minimizes distractions. Unlike traditional fitness trackers, the Cirqa lacks a screen, prompting users to review their performance data post-activity. It automatically detects and records a variety of activities, which can be viewed and edited later in the Garmin Connect app. (bikeradar.com)
Equipped with a fabric strap for all-day comfort, the Cirqa is available in multiple colors to suit individual styles. It can be worn around the wrist or as an arm band, depending on activity or sleep preferences. (bikeradar.com)
The Cirqa tracks key health metrics, including wrist-based heart rate, Body Battery energy levels, stress, Pulse Ox, and skin temperature, with all data syncing to the Garmin Connect app. It also offers detailed sleep tracking, including sleep stages, HRV, respiration, nap detection, and a sleep score to help users better understand recovery. Women’s health features include menstrual cycle and pregnancy tracking. Garmin says overnight skin temperature monitoring can improve period predictions and provide retrospective ovulation estimates, while users can also sync their data with the Natural Cycles app – although this requires a subscription.

Supporting over 80 activity profiles, the Cirqa includes advanced training metrics such as Training Readiness, Training Status, VO2 Max, HRV Status, Workout Benefit, and Recovery Time to help users gauge training effectiveness and recovery needs. For outdoor activities, the band can pair with a compatible smartphone’s GPS to record walks, rides, and runs, while Garmin’s LiveTrack feature enables friends and family to follow a user’s location in real time through the Garmin Connect app. (bikeradar.com)
The Cirqa is available for order starting July 24, 2026, at a price of $199.99. (bikeradar.com)
