I think Garmin has knocked it out of the park with their initial foray into the screenless health tracker market. The dedicated activity start button sets them apart from the competition. Thus far, I have found the CIRQA to be extremely comfortable and it has served the purpose for which I purchased it perfectly. This device allows me to wear traditional mechanical watches to work during the day without losing my ability to track my health metrics. It has also proven to be a more comfortable sleep tracking option than wearing my Fenix 8 overnight. The only constructive feedback I have at this point is that the automatic activity recognition is a bit wonky. On one of my runs, I had to stop at an intersection for traffic and it ended my workout and I was not aware until I got home. I'm sure the developers at Garmin will sort this with future firmware updates. Overall, well done on this device, Garmin!

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.

There is a major Issue between the Garmin computer programs and the iPhone app. - The Garmin computer program refers you to the iPhone for syncing, but it is nearly impossible to find it if the app has already found another Garmin watch. At this point, I consider it a waste of money and not ready for prime time.

Switched from an Apple Watch to this and I definitely prefer it. More relevant and realistic data for someone that is exercise/training oriented. Also nice not to have a watch face so I can access (or ignore) my data on my terms, whenever I want to. The Garmin Connect app itself could use a bit of a facelift (some of the features aren't as intuitively laid out or accessed, but with enough exploring in the app you can figure it out). My CIRQA still hasn't auto-tracked any activities for me, which is kind of a bummer but I may just be in the calibrating phase still. It's not that hard to manually start/stop an activity anyways. Overall, worth the purchase!

Absolutely so happy Garmin finally came out with an all day tracker that isn't the watch itself. Keeping the CIRQA Smart Band allows me to gain all day data even when I need a fancier watch on, or need to be dressed up in some way where the Garmin Sport Watch is not appropriate. All data syncs perfectly between devices and in the Garmin Connect App. Battery life is great and watch is very comfortable to wear. Thank you Garmin!

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.

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.

Compré el dispositivo recién salido, y es una maravilla. Ya no despierto queriendo revisar mi calificación a dormir, y puedo hacer muchas cosas en el día sin traer el reloj puesto, pero sabiendo que el cirqa va a tomar mis medidas si o si. Gran dispositivo de uso 24/7.
