Helpful but not perfect
on October 4, 2026
Posted by: Sedona Eric
I bought it under the assumption I could wear it for all activities all day and night. However, the apps remain the same. Some are good, golf, hiking, things with steps. But yoga, meditation, and weights have limited value. I was really hoping it was smart enough to track my weight training automatically. Far too cumbersome to enter everything manually.
I have been wearing it for sleep tracking and it has proved helpful. The form factor doesn't get in the way like a watch and I honestly put it around my ankle and don't even notice it.
Summary, for "tracking everything", it doesn't record all activities thoroughly or in a way that is easy and valuable. As a sleep tracker, it has been very helpful.

Doesn't Disappoint
on October 4, 2026
Posted by: Regmeister
I bought this about a month ago and don't regret it. I have been in the Garmin ecosystem for several years now (came from fitbit). For the past few years I have been using the Vivosmart 5 but the cirqa just feels better and looks better. I do miss the screen but I've gotten used to it. I always have my phone on me anyway. I feel ilke the tracking on the Cirqa is quicker though compared to the vivosmart. I can see my steps update in real time while with the vivosmart, it usually took a few seconds or more to update in the app.I also think the Cirqa is a little or fashionable.
Overall I like the new band by Garmin. The plus is subscription-less software that other brands usually charge a fee for.

Good product, but unrealistic battery life claims
on October 1, 2026
Posted by: Ullman
It’s a good item if you don’t want a Garmin watch, but still want to use the data for example for cycling training.
I didn’t like the wrist band much and switched to an arm band without velcro.
Battery life is definitely way worse than claimed. I think I get hardly a week out of it.
It could be even better if it would have GPS so it doesn’t need to rely on the phones GPS

Device cool, app not so much
on September 30, 2026
Posted by: Roland B.
The device itself looks cool. I like it. The material is very good. The app, however, is just not great. The UI is ugly. I came from Whoop, and Garmin's interface is just not it. There is not much to do in there. I assume if you pay for their Connect+ subscription, that would not be the case, but I haven't tried it yet.

Comfortable sleep monitor with additional metrics
on September 30, 2026
Posted by: ShockleyR
I wanted something more comfortable to wear at night as a sleep monitor. I already have a Fenix 6 Pro that's five years old, but still works great. The CIRQA gave me additional metrics like sleep coach, training readiness, and health status my Fenix 6 doesn't track. Now I'm not distracted at night by my watch. I also have the added benefit of wearing the CIRQA around my bicep during work where watches aren't allowed.

Great Altenative to Garmin Watch
on September 27, 2026
Posted by: Kerm
It is a great alternative to my Garmin watches. Gives me all the data I need on a daily basis. It allows me to wear other dress watches and still receive all my pertinate information.

Garmin does it again
on September 26, 2026
Posted by: Tomster
Two weeks in and loving my device. All the features of my fenix but allows me to wear my dress watch! Only concern is the blue is more of a stonewashed appearance than the pictures portray.
