An anonymous source has just spotted a massive clue about Garmin’s worst-kept secret. While digging through the device setup menus in the Garmin Connect IQ app, the user noticed a new name pop up in the compatibility list: the Garmin CIRQA.
Right next to the name is a tiny thumbnail image of the unreleased tracker.
Naturally, I wanted to get a closer look at this thing. I downloaded the Garmin Connect IQ app files onto my computer and tried hard to extract the original, high-quality picture from the code. Unfortunately, Garmin now hosts these device icons directly on their cloud servers instead of storing them locally in the app, so the high-res file remains out of reach.
However, even from this small leak, we can see a lot about what Garmin is planning.
What It Looks Like
If you zoom in on the leaked thumbnail, the form factor tells a clear story. The Garmin CIRQA looks like a Smart Band without a screen. It features a slim, narrow tracking module tucked into a simple silicone or fabric band, complete with a small Garmin logo stamped right on the loop.
This confirms what the rumor mill has been whispering for months: Garmin is officially entering the screenless “focus wearable” market.
What We Know So Far
The CIRQA is designed to be a passive health tracker, aiming squarely at competitors like the Whoop band, Oura Ring, and the Google Fitbit Air. By ditching the display, Garmin can focus entirely on 24/7 health tracking and recovery metrics without the distraction (or battery drain) of a smartwatch screen.
Previous regional leaks and trademark filings suggest the device will come in Black and French Grey, with sizing options in Small/Medium and Large/X-Large. It is also expected to tie deeply into Garmin’s “Health Status” features, tracking sleep, heart rate variability (HRV), and recovery baselines overnight.
Garmin has a habit of accidentally letting these names slip into their software right before an official announcement. With the CIRQA now showing up directly in the pairing menus, an official launch feels closer than ever.
A Quick Note on This Leak: While this screenshot looks incredibly convincing, we always advise taking early leaks with a grain of salt. Because this information comes from an anonymous source and has not been officially confirmed by Garmin, details regarding the final hardware design, software features, or the actual release timeline could still change before launch. Until Garmin officially pulls back the curtain, treat this as an exciting look at what might be coming next.
