We’re spending more time than ever trying to switch off. From digital detoxes to analogue hobbies and more intentional daily habits, there’s a growing movement towards doing less on our screens. Garmin’s new CIRQA Smart Band taps into that shift. As the brand’s first screen-free health and fitness tracker, it offers around-the-clock health and fitness monitoring without another display competing for your attention. With up to 10 days of battery life, your health data is automatically collected and can be viewed anytime in the Garmin Connect™ app, making it easier to stay on top of your wellness while staying present.
“We purposefully created CIRQA Smart Band for those who are passionate about staying healthy and active. With its discreet design and trusted health and fitness tracking tools Garmin is known for, this smart band complements our lineup of popular smartwatches and wellness monitors, allowing users to transition smoothly between their Garmin devices throughout the day. Plus, with no subscription required, CIRQA Smart Band helps you stay on top of your health and fitness goals – and makes a thoughtful gift for others who want to do the same.”
Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing
Comfortable And Distraction-Free
If you’re trying to spend less time glued to a screen, CIRQA keeps things refreshingly simple. Its discreet, screen-free design lets you track your health and performance without constant notifications or another display vying for your attention.
It automatically detects and records a variety of activities, even without a screen. Afterwards, you can view and edit your workouts in Garmin Connect™. The more you confirm or adjust your activities, the smarter the tracker becomes at recognising them in the future.
Comfort is clearly part of the design, too. The soft fabric band is made for all-day wear and comes in a range of playful and neutral shades, including Citron Grey, Mauve, French Grey, Dark Olive, Captain Blue, French Blue and Black.

Health Monitoring
When worn day and night, CIRQA Smart Band helps provide a more complete picture of overall health. Users can track metrics like wrist-based heart rate, Body Battery™ energy monitoring, Pulse Ox, stress, skin temperature and more and immediately see their data in Garmin Connect. Women can also track their menstrual cycle and pregnancy, get better period predictions and past ovulation estimates by tracking skin temperature while sleeping and sync their data with the Natural Cyclesº birth control app1 (Natural Cycles subscription required).
Comfortable without compromise, CIRQA Smart Band can help users log a better night’s sleep and understand how well they’ve recovered. This smart band provides comprehensive sleep data, including a detailed breakdown of sleep stages, a sleep score, guidance on optimal sleep duration, heart rate variability, respiration and nap detection – all readily available within the Garmin Connect app.
