Maybe a good idea?

Not sure, after having a Fenix am unsure of it. It has many quirks, like power on/off, changing heart rate zones, and

Compact but dissappointing...

Purchased and used for the past month, love the fact that it has a smaller footprint and no screen as compared to my fenix. However, there is a big drop off in measurement accuracy, especially with the HRV readings. After doing some reading it appears that the hardware is on the inferior side. The only way to get similar HRV readings is with a armband strap, that is currently backordered through garmin for months.

Extraordinary

Wonderful device. Met my expectations.
Please reduce the price of the belt. One must have a reserve one, or two.
Thank you.

Garbage battery life
on September 3, 2026

Battery is no good. Ten days? Not even close. Four days at the most. I may only keep it to give my Fenix 6 a break but I am seriously considering returning it. Will not recommend.

It’s OK

It’s OK.
I’ll caveat what I’m about to say by stating I’m still getting used to going screenless.
I’m in the Garmin ecosystem. I currently wear a Epix2pro, a Fenix 6 for years before that, and I also currently use a Garmin scale, bike computer, etc…
For my use case, I wanted a screen-less wearable so I could wear my mechanical watches more. The Cirqa seemed like the perfect answer and it still kind of is but mine has one flaw which is a bit frustrating.
For me, the Cirqa on multiple occasions has not tracked my sleep at all. It tracked my HR throughout the night but not my sleep. During a typical week, it’s been doing that 2-3 days out of the week. That obviously affects every other stat, so that’s something I hope Garmin fixes soon.

A solution looking for an question
on September 3, 2026

Good technology, good implementation, still debating the best use for it.
I have a FR 970, that is a great tool for my running, cycling, other exercising. I wanted to be less dependant from it and go back to wearing regular watches and keep tracking my vitals.
This was the primary use for the Cirqa.
Does it worth the cost? Maybe.
Using Cirqa during my running or cycling is not an option: I need to monitor my activity while doing it and a screen is essential.
Garmin may have other otions for its use in the future, hopefully.

Uncomfortable

Very large, very uncomfortable. My Epix 2, albeit large, is much more comfortable 24/7 over the Cirqa
