OK, but some not so good points
on August 22, 2026
Posted by: rawsid
Good, but these are my frustration points
1) Battery Life is stated at 10+ days, that is true if you turn numerous options off
2) No reports when there is no access to the internet, I go camping and often have no access, therefore the device is useless
3) I thought I would go with the lighter colored band to better blend in with the arm, it gets dirty very quickly
More later as I have only had the device a few weeks

Underwhelming
on August 22, 2026
Posted by: G-reg
Could be a perfect compliment to my other Garmin products... but is not.
I'd love if it seamlessly picked up where my current Fenix left off when I swap which one I'm wearing. But it doesn't. "Primary wearable" logic is flawed, only the primary will calculate into body battery. I want all the features of my Fenix without the watch face, as it stands this is an ok step counter.

Great features but poor battery
on August 22, 2026
Posted by: jc787878
I bought this band a month ago to replace my whoop as I hate paying for the subscription. I have gotten used to the differences in the app, the app itself is ok, not nearly as sleek at the whoop.
But my biggest disappointment is that I am having to charge it every 3-4 days, nowhere near the 10 days stated and not close to the 14 days I got with whoop. I am going to try to resolve the issues with Garmin support.
If I do I would update the review to 4 or 5 stars.

Not happy with this device
on August 22, 2026
Posted by: not good returned
Not as good as I hoped for. After 4 days this device quit keeping track of sleep. I tried resetting it and nothing happened. I have returned it and gone back to my Fitbit

Needs help asap

I love Garmin products, waited 6 months for this hoping to replace my whoop and it was a huge disappointment. It not only looks cheap, is large and they didn’t even update the user interface on the sleep metrics. I really hope there is a much better gen 2 asap. This is more like a miminally viable product (mvp)

So far so good, mainly use it for sleep monitoring because I have a Fenix 6. Waiting for the 3 week data accumulation for HRV

Cirqa as primary sleep wearable
on August 21, 2026
Posted by: PhantomNova
I wish there was capability to designate primary sleep wearable. I have many Garmin wearables and it’s silly that I have to switch which wearable I’m using that day or night as my primary device. The cirqa should default to sleep unless a watch is detected. But I bought the cirqa for its size and weight while sleeping. A watch while sleeping is clunky.

So-so product so far
on August 21, 2026
Posted by: Garmin012345
I purchased this a few weeks ago and there are ongoing sync issues with Garmin connect. It often won't work after charging it unless you power it off and then manually turn it back on. The sleep data is often inaccurate as it's recording times when I'm sleeping as awake, and does not automatically record naps. The alarms are also off. When I set a recurring alarms and choose the days, it will save it as different days then I picked or it will set one time alarms as recurring and recurring alarms as one time alarms. The training plans on garmin connect some days are different than on the 965 since adding Cirqa as the primary wearable and this seems to be due to syncing issue with Cirqa and Garmin connect app. The product has potential but so far is disappointing. The few redeeming qualities is that there is no required subscription model, and keeps my data in the Garmin ecosystem for better or worse and the can wear 965 for training activities and mechanical watch and the Cirqa. I hope there will be software updates coming soon to fix some of these issues unless the issues are also related to the hardware itself.
