Not ready for prime time…
on August 12, 2026
Posted by: MarcA
Good idea but so far software / hardware bugs have tainted the experience. Alarms don’t work, have to shutoff/turn back on device after a charge, poor recognition of activities, and poor battery life. Example: Using device only in the evenings/night with pulse ox on only during sleep and I get 4 to 5 days between charges. Not good…. Great product for my use case (supplement for forerunner965) but to date the device is not living up to my expectations nor Garmin’s own specifications. At least not yet - really looking forward to a software update. This update’s performance will indicate what I do next with the Cirqa. 🙏🏻

I’m very pleased with this band. It’s the only one I can wear to work and be able to track my activities throughout the day. Thank you!

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.

Unnecessary if you have a Garmin watch
on August 7, 2026
Posted by: Ak567
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.
