Garmin reportedly developing smart ring to compete with Oura

Garmin appears to be developing a smart ring, according to recent leaks. Filings from Garmin Indonesia Distribution show an official certification application for a device named the ‘Garmin Cirqa Smart Ring’.

These mandatory legal filings suggest the company is actively working on wireless hardware to compete in the growing smart ring market, which is currently led by players such as Oura and Samsung. The name ‘Cirqa’ follows Garmin’s recent launch of the Cirqa smart band, a screenless tracker, indicating a potential ecosystem of screenless health-tracking devices.
