A regulatory listing for an unnamed Garmin device has appeared on Singapore’s IMDA database, suggesting the heavily rumoured Garmin Cirqa screen-free fitness tracker could be nearing launch. The listing, spotted by The 5K Runner, shows a device with Bluetooth as its only wireless protocol, a departure from Garmin’s usual support for ANT+ or GPS, indicating it is likely the Cirqa.
References to the Garmin Cirqa first surfaced on regional Garmin pages and product support pages in January, before being quickly removed. Those pages described a “smart band” coming in sizes S/M and L/XL, in black and French grey. An FCC filing in April hinted at a strap-based wearable with optical heart rate tracking and no built-in display.
A trademark filing from February described the device as a recovery-focused wearable, measuring “physiological data, bio-signals and bodily behaviour”, as well as metrics linked to “stress recovery, alertness and performance”. This aligns with the Whoop approach of continuous monitoring without screen distraction.
While no official release date has been confirmed, the January leaks suggested a launch in four to five months, pointing to May or June. Certification is the final step before launch, so an announcement could come soon. Garmin declined to comment, stating it does not provide forward-looking statements on product roadmap.
Pricing remains unconfirmed, but speculation places it between the Fitbit Air at £85 and the Whoop 5.0 at £169. The Cirqa would compete directly with Whoop and Google’s recently launched Fitbit Air, both screen-free fitness trackers.
