I was really excited to get the Garmin Cirqa as a screenless health tracker. I already have a Garmin Forerunner 265 to track my activity and sleep, and was planning to use both together. Since I already have the watch, the cirqa really doesn't add much else for me and is pretty redundant. I could see the benefit if I didn't have a Garmin watch already, but it doesn't make sense to have both.

I was excited to use this discreet, screenless tracker to monitor my gym sessions on the Concept 2 rower and SkiErg, alongside my four to five weekly runs. However, the Connect+ experience falls short. The app lacks running-specific training plans, interval support, and pace guidance. For a premium subscription, there are too many standard features missing. Furthermore, the Active Intelligence feature is a letdown; instead of a real conversational AI chat to help analyze my training and recovery, it only provides basic summaries. It is an average product that requires a significant software update to fully support a dedicated athletic routine.

I wish there was capability to designate primary sleep wearable. I have many Garmin wearables and it's silly that I have to switch which wearable I'm using that day or night as my primary device. The cirqa should default to sleep unless a watch is detected. But I bought the cirqa for its size and weight while sleeping. A watch while sleeping is clunky.

Had this for a few weeks and the band itself is fine but if you're going to sell a screen-less activity tracker then the ui and software of the app cannot look like it's from 2013. This is my first Garmin and if I had known how ugly and confusing the Connect app was, I would not have bought it.

I bought this band a month ago to replace my whoop as I hate paying for the subscription. I have gotten used to the differences in the app, the app itself is ok, not nearly as sleek at the whoop. But my biggest disappointment is that I am having to charge it every 3-4 days, nowhere near the 10 days stated and not close to the 14 days I got with whoop. I am going to try to resolve the issues with Garmin support. If I do I would update the review to 4 or 5 stars.

Purchased it a couple weeks ago and enjoying it so far. I have had a Venu since 2020 that I wore off and on but what I like about this is I can wear an old fashion watch along with this product and be able to have both a regular watch and all the fitness info I want. The alarm on the Cirqa is also nice

As a long-time Garmin user currently wearing a Fenix 8, I purchased the Cirqa to maintain activity tracking while wearing traditional dress watches. The Cirqa performs well and is comfortable to wear, but I still prefer the Fenix 8. The lack of a display and built-in flashlight are the features I miss most. While I don't wear the Cirqa every day, it serves its intended purpose very well. Overall, no regrets. It has successfully given me the freedom to wear my dress watches again without completely giving up activity tracking.

Big elements first - this one device captures all the health and exercise data I am use to from Garmin but with no distracting screen. I have had it for about 2 weeks and have recharged once (mainly because it was down to 10% right before going to bed). It is a great passive collector of data points. Be aware it does NOT have its own GPS, so you must piggyback off your connected phone. I've noticed that it does not really track 'Intensity Minutes' which is a Garmin Unit but in return I am getting HRV, Training Load, and Training Readiness scores. Purchased this for several reasons. I am a long time Garmin product user and view most of my health related data via their Garmin Connect app and I trust the information it is giving me. Especially with Garmin new investment in Training Peaks, I am excited about what I learn. Also, I like traditional wrist watches and now I can wear both. And finally unlike competitors, NO SUBSCRIPTION fee!!!

It's super important to understand what the Cirqa is and how it will fit into your health/fitness journey. My smart watch is from another large tech company and I still wear it. I got into the Garmin ecosystem with the Edge bike computer. That turned into a HRM, the Garmin scale and BPM. I wanted to track all of the other things Garmin offered, so I got a Vivosmart 5 and have worn that for a few years. When the Cirqa came out, I was super happy it see it had training readiness, HRV, and a ton of activities that the Vivosmart didn't track. I ordered the Cirqa the second I could. I have been extremely happy with what it does. I have it set up to track my walks with one button push, use it as a HRM on my indoor trainer, and I am super happy with the metrics it gathers. I have no problem with the sleep- it tracks it well. I don't care that it's an older sensor- I don't need EKG. My only complaint and this is really on me- the S/M band doesn't fit my average wrist like I would expect. I need to size up. This is a great screen less tracker and I am super impressed with it.

I bought this a month ago and am disappointed in the performance so far. I primarily want it for sleep tracking (I used my Garmin Fenix 8 but it's too bulky). Most nights, it says "no sleep activity". I've reset it, made sure I wear it appropriately and it only tracks about 25% of the time. It also hasn't tracked activities that I've recorded.
