Garmin Cirqa Tracks Fitness Without a Screen or Subscription
The $200 wristband records sleep, stress, workouts, and other health metrics through the Garmin Connect app.
Garmin’s Cirqa Smart Band is a screen-free wearable for people who want health tracking without another display on their wrist. The device costs $200, and its main tracking features are available through Garmin Connect without a recurring membership charge. An optional Garmin Connect+ plan costs $6.99 per month or $69.99 per year and adds AI-generated health and training insights.
The band measures heart rate, heart-rate variability, breathing, blood oxygen, skin temperature, sleep, stress, steps, calories, and distance. It can recognize more than 80 types of exercise, although the reviewer found that walks and yoga sometimes needed to be started manually with the band’s lone button. Phone GPS can add route, speed, pace, and distance information for walks, runs, and rides. The adjustable fabric strap comes in two sizes and can be worn on the upper arm with a different setup. During testing, it felt light and secure, though the sensor pod seemed somewhat prominent on a smaller wrist and occasionally left a mark. Data can be reviewed across daily, weekly, four-week, and yearly views.
- The band comes in S/M and L/XL sizes.
- The reviewer tested the S/M band in Mauve for one month.
- The device can be worn while sleeping, exercising, working, or resting.
- Garmin Connect can display trends over several time periods.
