Needs better running & AI features
on August 12, 2026
Posted by: Marky11
I was excited to use this discreet, screenless tracker to monitor my gym sessions on the Concept 2 rower and SkiErg, alongside my four to five weekly runs. However, the Connect+ experience falls short. The app lacks running-specific training plans, interval support, and pace guidance. For a premium subscription, there are too many standard features missing. Furthermore, the Active Intelligence feature is a letdown; instead of a real conversational AI chat to help analyze my training and recovery, it only provides basic summaries. It is an average product that requires a significant software update to fully support a dedicated athletic routine.

Not ready for prime time…
on August 12, 2026

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!

Perfect (for my needs)!

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.
