Great product
on August 23, 2026
Posted by: Anonymous 9467
Purchased it a couple weeks ago and enjoying it so far. I have had a Venu since 2020 that I wore off and on but what I like about this is I can wear an old fashion watch along with this product and be able to have both a regular watch and all the fitness info I want. The alarm on the Cirqa is also nice

Great features but too bulky

Love the data. Just wish the sensor wasn’t so bulky. It’s bigger than my watch. I mean the vivosmart exists so why did this have to be so big?

2 weeks and no full report but so far so good, I use it all the time, charge it when I take a shower and so far hasn’t died.

Great Complement to a Fenix 8, Not a Replacement
on August 23, 2026
Posted by: MAUI
As a long-time Garmin user currently wearing a Fenix 8, I purchased the Cirqa to maintain activity tracking while wearing traditional dress watches.
The Cirqa performs well and is comfortable to wear, but I still prefer the Fenix 8. The lack of a display and built-in flashlight are the features I miss most. While I don't wear the Cirqa every day, it serves its intended purpose very well.
Overall, no regrets. It has successfully given me the freedom to wear my dress watches again without completely giving up activity tracking.

OK, but some not so good points
on August 22, 2026

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

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
