I have been checking the FCC database every single day, looking for any new updates about the rumored Garmin Cirqa, but recently, the official regulatory filings have been completely quiet. So, I decided to do some digging across the web to see if anything else would turn up.
My search paid off. I stumbled upon a surprisingly detailed product listing for the Garmin Cirqa on a retailer website from Kazakhstan (mijia-shop.com). The listing even includes an estimated shipping window between June 6 and June 14, suggesting a launch might be right around the corner.
The leak gives us a look at the concept, pricing, full specifications, and features of what seems to be Garmin’s answer to screenless recovery trackers.
What is the Garmin Cirqa?
According to the retailer listing, the Garmin Cirqa is a screenless fitness tracker designed for “silent monitoring” and 24/7 health tracking. Instead of a traditional smart band or watch face, the Cirqa features a small, removable plastic capsule module that fits into a comfortable fabric strap.
Without a display, this tracker doesn’t send smartphone notifications or give you visual distractions. It is built entirely to track health data and recovery in the background, making it an option for people who want deep health insights but prefer wearing traditional watches or no visible screen at all.
Key Leaked Features and Specs:
-
Design: A compact capsule module inside a lightweight fabric strap. It will come in two sizes (S/M and L/XL) and two colors: Black and French Gray.
-
Advanced Health Metrics: 24/7 heart rate monitoring, Heart Rate Variability (HRV), sleep tracking, body temperature tracking, and stress monitoring.
-
SmO2 Sensor: Interestingly, the listing notes muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) tracking, which is a highly advanced metric usually reserved for deep athletic recovery analysis.
-
Body Battery 2.0: The tracker features an upgraded version of Garmin’s energy monitoring tool, utilizing AI to evaluate sleep and daily strain to show your body’s energy levels.
-
No Screen, No GPS: To preserve battery and maintain a small footprint, there is no display and no built-in GPS.
-
Garmin Connect Integration: All tracking data auto-syncs with the Garmin Connect app. Crucially, the listing emphasizes that no monthly subscription is required to access any of your health analytics.
-
Activity Tracking: It automatically detects and tracks your daily steps, burned calories, and baseline workouts without needing to manually start an activity.
The Leaked Price
According to the store listing, the Garmin Cirqa is currently priced at 36,900 Russian Rubles (which is roughly around $500 USD, depending on current exchange rates).
While a premium price tag for a screenless tracker might surprise some, it seems Garmin is positioning this as a high-end health device packed with advanced recovery sensors like SmO2. Plus, the listing explicitly mentions that, unlike some major competitors in the screenless space, there are absolutely no subscription fees, meaning all your data analytics are completely free forever after the initial purchase.
A Quick Word of Caution Regarding Images and Specs
While this leak is exciting, we need to take it with a grain of salt. Retailers often use placeholder images or even AI-generated mockups before a product officially launches. We cannot confirm if the image on the listing is the actual final design from Garmin or just a concept illustration created by the shop.
The same caution goes for the technical specs and regional pricing. While the detailed breakdown aligns perfectly with the rumored positioning of a screenless tracker, early retail listings can sometimes contain errors, currency conversion inflation, or preliminary data.
If this listing proves accurate, we should see an official announcement from Garmin within the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned, and I will keep updating you as soon as more concrete details or official FCC approvals come to light!
