Garmin CIRQA screenless fitness tracker set for July launch at $199

Garmin’s new CIRQA smart band, a screenless fitness tracker, is slated for release in late July 2026. Leaked product renders from Garmin’s own servers show the device wrapped in a woven fabric band, offered in four colour variants—black, French Gray, Berry red and Navy blue. The slim module is mostly hidden inside the band, with a small exposed section and a single physical button.

The band uses Garmin’s older Elevate‑4 optical heart‑rate sensor rather than the newer Elevate‑5, a choice likely intended to keep costs down. Pricing data accessed from Garmin’s backend indicates a launch price of $199.99 USD (about €199, £179). The price is positioned to compete with subscription‑based rivals such as Whoop, which charges $199 per year.

Garmin describes CIRQA as a 24‑hour health‑monitoring device without a display, relying on the Garmin Connect app for data. It tracks continuous heart‑rate, sleep stages, stress, blood‑oxygen saturation, body‑battery level and other wellness metrics, and offers up to ten days of battery life. The launch is expected around July 21‑22, 2026, with both S/M and L/XL size options and a hook‑and‑loop strap for easy adjustment.
