Garmin accidentally revealed the features of the new CIRQA band. We know what sensors it will get

The upcoming Garmin CIRQA band leaked from the most authoritative source. It briefly appeared in the list of devices compatible with the Health Status feature directly on the manufacturer’s own support website – and this very item suggests what sensor equipment it will receive.

What exactly did the leak reveal?

The discovery was reported by Garmin Rumors, according to which CIRQA appeared on the Romanian version of the support pages in the list of devices supporting the Health Status feature. Garmin removed it shortly thereafter. This is its first appearance directly from the manufacturer since January, when an unfinished product page briefly hung on its website.

Health Status evaluates five indicators during sleep – heart rate, its variability, respiratory rate, skin temperature, and blood oxygen saturation – and alerts you when values deviate from the long-term normal. For this to work, the band will need to carry a heart rate sensor, blood oxygen sensor, and skin temperature sensor.

Its inclusion in the group of products that display measured data exclusively in the Garmin Connect application further supports previous information that the device will do without a display. We already wrote about the upcoming competitor for Whoop or Fitbit Air in May.

When will Garmin CIRQA be introduced?

Older speculations also attribute an electrodermal activity sensor for stress monitoring to the device. However, it reportedly won’t get built-in GPS – for running or cycling, it will rely on location from a connected phone.

Otherwise, not much is certain. CIRQA has trademarks in Europe, the USA, and Canada, and traces in the Connect app, where hints of a subscriber discount were previously hidden. Earlier estimates pointed to a premiere around late May/early June, but that has passed. Garmin is thus keeping the price and date to itself for now – however, leaks are intensifying, and the wait may not be long.

Would you opt for a display-less sports band from Garmin?
