Garmin Launches CIRQA Screen-Free Fitness Band with 10-Day Battery Life
Garmin has launched the CIRQA Smart Band, its first screen-free fitness tracker designed to compete with subscription-based bands like Whoop. Priced at $199.99, the band offers up to 10 days of battery life and tracks various health metrics including heart rate, sleep stages, stress, and activity without requiring a subscription. Data syncs to the Garmin Connect app, and the device supports features like menstrual cycle tracking and GPS connectivity via a paired smartphone. Availability outside the US, including India, has not been confirmed.
