GARMIN really said ‘stop staring at screens’ when it launched the CIRQA Smart Band, the brand’s first screen-free smart band.
The CIRQA tracks advanced fitness and wellness features with up to 10 days of battery life and Garmin says this is all without the need for a subscription. The new Garmin smart band eliminates notifications from messages or calls and apps, as well as other distractions. It will track your health and wellbeing before syncing everything to the Garmin Connect app.
The smart band monitors sleep stages, sleep scores, heart rate variability (HRV), respiration, stress, Body Battery, energy monitoring, heart rate, Pulse Ox and skin temperature throughout the day and night. It also features built-in nap detection and supports menstrual cycle and pregnancy tracking.
‘We purposefully created CIRQA Smart Band for those who are passionate about staying healthy and active. With its discreet design and trusted health and fitness tracking tools Garmin is known for, this smart band complements our lineup of popular smartwatches and wellness monitors, allowing users to transition smoothly between their Garmin devices throughout the day. Plus, with no subscription required, CIRQA Smart Band helps you stay on top of your health and fitness goals-and makes a thoughtful gift for others who want to do the same,’ said Susan Lyman, Garmin vice president of consumer sales and marketing.
To further push the ‘stop staring at screens narrative,’ the CIRQA Smart Band has an inconspicuous design. The ultra-lightweight 20g design and 5 ATM water rating provide comfortable 24/7 wear. The fabric band provides maximum comfort for all-day wear. The smart band is available in four colorways: Black, French Gray, Captain Blue, and Mauve. There are additional accessory bands in French Blue, Citron, and Dark Olive. The Garmin CIRQA Smart Band can be worn around the wrist or as an arm band with an optional black upper arm band accessory (sold separately).
The smart band will automatically detect and record a variety of activities, even without a screen. As users confirm or edit their activities, the smart band will adapt to more accurately classify them in the future.
When worn day and night, CIRQA Smart Band helps provide a more complete picture of overall health. Health and activity data can also sync across compatible Garmin devices so users can get a more complete view of their wellness and fitness across the Garmin ecosystem.
The CIRQA Smart Band provides comprehensive sleep data, including a detailed breakdown of sleep stages, a sleep score, guidance on optimal sleep duration, heart rate variability, respiration, and nap detection. This is all available within the Garmin Connect app. The CIRQA Smart Band also includes popular fitness features to help users make the most of their workouts.
Manual activity tracking allows users to track more than 80 different activities, including running, walking, yoga and more. They can also select a favorite activity to track by simply tapping the single side button. With advanced training metrics, users can dial in with performance features like training readiness to know whether it’s a good day to go hard or take it easy and track progress with HRV status, VO2 max, and training status.
Users can connect to a compatible iPhone or Android smartphone’s GPS to accurately track outdoor walks, rides, and runs, while LiveTrack allows location sharing in real-time when using a smartphone and the Garmin Connect app.
The Garmin CIRQA Smart Band is available at Garmin Brand Stores, Garmin Specialty Stores, The Loop, and Garmin’s official e-commerce platforms.
