Garmin announces CIRQA, a screenless health & fitness tracker
Garmin launched CIRQA Smart Band, a screenless fitness tracker with 10-day battery life, no subscription, and advanced health monitoring via the Garmin Connect app.
Garmin introduced the CIRQA Smart Band, its first screen-free smart band, priced at $199.99, designed for users seeking health and fitness tracking without a subscription. The device offers up to 10 days of battery life and continuous monitoring of metrics such as wrist-based heart rate, Body Battery energy levels, Pulse Ox, stress, and skin temperature. Data syncs automatically to the Garmin Connect app, allowing users to review their health trends without needing to interact directly with the device. The company positioned the CIRQA Smart Band as a complement to its existing smartwatch lineup, emphasizing its discreet design and seamless integration with other Garmin devices throughout the day.
The CIRQA Smart Band includes features for sleep tracking, providing a detailed breakdown of sleep stages, a sleep score, and guidance on optimal sleep duration. It also monitors heart rate variability, respiration, and nap detection, all accessible through the Garmin Connect app. Women can track menstrual cycles and pregnancy-related metrics, including period predictions and ovulation estimates, by logging skin temperature during sleep. Data can be shared with the FDA-cleared Natural Cycles app, which requires a separate subscription for birth control tracking. Garmin noted that the CIRQA Smart Band is not a medical device and is not intended for diagnosing or monitoring medical conditions.
For fitness tracking, the CIRQA Smart Band logs daily steps, calories burned, and other activity metrics while offering tools to optimize workouts. The device is designed for comfort during day and night use, supporting users in understanding their recovery and overall wellness. Garmin highlighted that the smart band is engineered for durability and intended for daily use across various environments. The announcement emphasized the device’s role in helping users maintain health and fitness goals without requiring constant attention to a screen.
The CIRQA Smart Band is available now with a suggested retail price of $199.99. Garmin described the product as part of its broader portfolio of consumer wellness devices, which are not medical devices and do not replace professional medical advice. The company also included forward-looking statements regarding its business, noting that actual results may differ due to various risk factors. Additional details are available on the Garmin Newsroom and through the company’s investor relations page.
