Garmin’s unannounced smart ring project is picking up speed. Months after we first broke the exclusive news about the Garmin CIRQA Smart Ring appearing in Indonesia’s SDPPI certification database, and later tracking its ten-size lineup in Brazil’s Anatel and South Korea’s RRA registry, the upcoming wearable has surfaced once again.
Today, we spotted the Garmin CIRQA smart ring making an official appearance in the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) database in the United Arab Emirates.
Key Details from the UAE Filing
The newly published TDRA approval lists the device under registration number ER67328/26, issued on November 3, 2026, through local distributor AMIT RETAIL L.L.C.
-
Marketing Name: Garmin
-
Model Designation: A05124
-
Equipment Registration No: ER67328/26
-
Registration Date: November 3, 2026
-
Status: Active
While the marketing field simply uses the primary brand name, the internal hardware designation A05124 directly aligns with the CIRQA ring listings seen in earlier global database filings.
Technical Standards & Connectivity Hints
The filing outlines several compliance standards, confirming expected low-power wireless specifications:
-
Short Range / Low Power Device: The filing categorizes the device under short-range radios, confirming standard low-energy wireless protocols (such as Bluetooth Low Energy) suited for continuous data syncing to the Garmin Connect app.
-
Standards Compliance: The filing references EN 300 328 and EN 301 489 standards, which cover 2.4 GHz ISM band transport and electromagnetic compatibility required for worldwide wireless sales.
What This Means for Launch Timing
When a consumer electronics maker begins securing regulatory clearance across multiple distinct regions—from Southeast Asia (Indonesia) and South America (Brazil) to East Asia (South Korea) and now the Middle East (UAE)—it typically signals that global commercial inventory is moving toward final distribution phases.
Regulatory approvals in the UAE are usually among the final regional checks before an official retail rollout. While Garmin has not officially confirmed a release date or hardware specs, the expanding trail of certification filings indicates an announcement is getting much closer.
I will continue monitoring global regulatory databases, patent offices, and trademark registries for any further updates on the Garmin CIRQA smart ring. Stay tuned for more coverage as new details emerge.
