Enjoying having a sleep score - this was the sole reason for purchase. Very much appreciate reasonable cost and no subscription. Some days it takes awhile for my sleep data to load - not sure what that’s all about but if I have an early event and can’t get that data, well, I figure it out but it would be nice to have that info as soon as I wake up. Not sure what to do besides wait. 🤷♀️
Disappointing for the price. Accessories are extremely expensive, the band is uncomfortable on my right wrist, there are no vibration alerts for notifications, and battery life is weaker than I expected. I’ll be returning it.
It’s a little disappointing considering how long it took for them to bring this product to market. I am already in the Garmin ecosystem which is the only reason why I waited so long for it. This device is twice as much money as the Fitbit Air that has comparable functionality. Positives: Cirqa was introduced with an available arm band Quality wristband Good battery life 10+ days Negative: The arm band was sold out right away and aftermarket versions are already available When an activity is started you can’t navigate anywhere on the app and are stuck on the current activity screen The current activity screen has little to no useful information about your current activity.
I am loving my cirqa the light weight and screen less design is what I had been looking for. It has become my daily wearable. I enjoy wearing mechanical watches but didn’t want my health data to lapse so I was stuck wearing two watches on each wrist. The cirqa solves this problem. Although I do wish the heart rate sensor would’ve been the gen 5 as this gen 4 lacks a barometer that doesn’t measure floors climbed. Other than that it’s a great addition to my Garmin wearables.
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.
He needs to improve He doesn't breathe So after a few hours I feel suffocated The band on my arm You should find Also something they can wear hidden in your body
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.
