I'm very happy with the performance of the Cirqa. Much better than the Index Sleep Tracker at tracking sleep (actually starts tracking when I sleep), and more comfortable and less light showing through than my Venu watch. Sort of wish it had GPS so I could track rides without bringing my phone but not a deal breaker. Battery is great so far. One concern is the band. I've had it two weeks and it is already showing significant wear. Also it does not breath well so my wrist always feels a bit sweaty underneath it. And, the little metal tab at the end of the band is rather sharp and gets snagged on things (pulling on a sweat shirt kind of thing). Seems like it is going to need to be replaced regularly and in a matter of months.

Very disappointed with the product - a first for a Garmin purchase, particularly a new release. Pros: First off, it does most of what it advertises. It is a wearable that tracks key metrics and workouts at a high level. Cons: It does not do this well in my opinion and doesn't accomplish the need I had for it, which was replace my Forerunner as a daily wearable so I could track my day-to-day metrics without tying myself to the watch as a 24/7 wearable. 1. Workouts - The Cirqa was advertised as being compatible with coach plans and I thought I'd be able to start a workout from the app while wearing the cirqa and follow the workout step-by-step, entering sets and reps as I complete them, just as I do on my Forerunner. That was not the case, although, again, it was advertised as such. Garmin support half helped me on this, heard me out, essentially agreed it's an issue not working as advertised, told me they submitted a ticket, and disconnected the session. I never got an email or follow-up; the first time I've been let down by their support. I should not be reaching out to a company like Garmin with their high quality products and attention to detail and getting an answer of basically "yeah that's weird, not sure" 2. Hardware: The Cirqa is pretty bulky and the strap wasn't executed well. It isn't very water resistant and is a hair magnet. Just doesn't feel comfortable to wear at all. The nylon band on the Apple Watch is comfortable and does a great job at not retaining water. 3. Sleep and day-to-day - I'm not sure what the sensor logic is, but it never knows when I go to sleep or when I wake up. On my watch I can end sleep either automatically or press of a button. With the Cirqa, I can be awake, up, moving around, and my sleep data doesn't populate on the Connect app after syncing until it decides it's ready to. I think all of this can be fixed but it feels like they shipped a half-baked product.

I purchased the CIRQA on Tuesday and I love it, the band is super comfortable and lightweight. You honestly forget it's on. Tracks all activity even if you forget to touch the button to record it automatically tracks for you and asks if you would like to save activity. The Garmin app is super easily to navigate and the alarm feature is great. I love it!

I really like the band. I have always used my Garmin watch as my primary fitness tracker so I had to wear it all the time. Now I use the Cirqa as my primary device and I can wear my Tag watch when I want to wear some bling. This is a much better value than the Whoop subscription plan and you get the same data.

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!

Does exactly what I need it to do, I primarily use it as a "dumb" device when I dont want all the smartwatch features, but still want to track my stats, well it does just that. I use a Forerunner 965 to train and when im done this is on my wrist. I am very satisfied, I did wish it had maybe a notification buzz for messages and calls but its not a huge issue. 9/10 will buy again.

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.

Not as good as Whoop, but I am fine sacrificing the functionality for the expensive monthly fee. Not as user friendly. Doesn't accurately automatically detect workouts. Custom charging cord not USB-C. So have to bring the special cord on vacations. 30% bigger than the Whoop. Weird band sizes.

The features are great. Training readiness and status, sleep coach, HRV, etc. however, it's way too big and distracting. It's comfortable but I'm embarrassed wearing it. I've received comments and questions asking what it is but not in a good way. I'm returning it.
