Garmin Screenless Water-Resistant CIRQA Smart Band, Blue Fabric

I purchased the Cirqa as an addition to the Fenix 8. I also own the Fenix 8 but found it to be a little too bulky and uncomfortable when trying to sleep. When Garmin released the Cirqa, I immediately knew this was the device to rule all other devices and it has not disappointed. It works flawlessly within the Garmin ecosystem of devices, of which I have most of. I use Garmin devices for my whole health tracking system including the scale, BPM, HRM, and Edge for cycling and the Cirqa was a perfect fit.

I’ve been using the Garmin CIRQA mainly for sleep and recovery tracking, and I’m very impressed with how comfortable and discreet it is to wear overnight. The device is lightweight, and after a short adjustment period, I barely notice it on my wrist. The integration with the Garmin ecosystem is one of its biggest advantages. Sleep data, heart rate and other health metrics are seamlessly incorporated into Garmin Connect, making it easy to follow my recovery over time. I also really like the option to use CIRQA as a heart-rate sensor when I don’t want to wear my chest strap during a workout. I’m still exploring all of its features, but so far the combination of comfort, battery life, sleep tracking and Garmin integration has made it a very useful addition to my Garmin setup. Highly recommended for Garmin users who want a discreet device focused on sleep and recovery.

It's pretty, the connect app is minimalist, probably geared towards runners. I wore it for 3 weeks and never had a favorable HRV experience, and always had very low body battery. I need to see results in more realistic time.

The band works seamlessly with the Garmin Connect App. I'm very happy that I purchased this for myself and another for my wife. We both love it. The best part - no subscription and seamless integration with the Garmin Ecosystem!

Nice fit and quality. Not obtrusive on the arm. Very comfortable.

I like it and it does what is expected. The only issue is the band that gets too wet and take time to dry

Love it!! Love how it tracks my sleep, stress, steps & etc!!

The Garmin Cirqa fills a gap that some of us have in our Garmin ecosystem and fits some use cases. For me, sometimes I want to wear a normal watch for some reason and still want my health data and sleep monitored, or I am working on something physical that puts my forerunner at risk of damage. Now I can wear the Cirqa on my dominant wrist and not worry about damaging my 970 or have to only wear my Garmin watch and not the rest of my cool watches. Negatives - The thickness is off putting and it is actually less comfortable than wearing your full sized Garmin watch. The auto detection for exercise is almost never recording at the right time. I am not sure if it is delaying the start or not. It accurately detected cycling and hiking but started about 15 minutes into the activity. The band collects sweat and seems to be too tight in warm conditions if it was snug when you started, due to the elasticity. I have since swapped out the band for a non garmin silicone band to make the whole watch less obtrusive, as out of the box, it is too thick and ugly. I have found the Cirqa to be closer to a Garmin HR strap for BPM when I wore all three devices to test them out on the trainer. The Circa also seems to have better connectivity to my 1040 cycling computer for broadcast heartrate, I have had the 970 disconnect on a ride for no reason and not reconnect, where the Cirqa stays connected so far tested on a 7 hour ride. Overall, I am planning to keep the Cirqa as it fills the gap of a fitbit with broadcast HR and I wear it 24x7.

I do not like it. It battery does not last more than a two day charge. It does not do much. I have had a Garmin Fenix 10 years and it is wearing out. I will just get a new Fenix that is discounted as the Cirqa is not good at what it is alleged to do, does not do much, and does not keep a charge. The Fenix does not even keep my steps well, or my sleep details correctly.

I followed the size guide and it’s not accurate, it fits my wrist but when open to remove it I can’t get it past my hand. Not happy considering returning !
