– Leak from Ukrainian retailer Stylus Store lists Garmin CIRQA, but retailer leaks/AI-generated images may be placeholders and should be treated cautiously.
– Product image shows a simple fabric wristband with a visible sensor unit bearing a Garmin logo (design doesn’t hide the module like Fitbit Air).
– Listed price is 22,399 UAH (~$509) with a pre-order discount to 19,999 UAH (~$454).
– If accurate, CIRQA would be far pricier than rivals (Fitbit Air/Amazfit $99, Polar Loop $199; only Whoop’s subscription model is comparably costly).
– No launch date or feature set is confirmed, so it’s unclear what would justify the high price.
Over the past few months, several leaks has suggested that Garmin will soon release an alternative to Whoop 5.0 or the new Google Fitbit Air ($99) on the market, and the Ukrainian retailer Stylus Store is already listing Garmin CIRQA, though as usual such retailer leaks should be taken with a pinch of salt since there’s always possibility it could be just a placeholder with an AI-generated product image.
Retail listing details
The online store shows a simple fabric wristband with a small sensor unit bearing a clearly visible Garmin logo; if this image actually reflects the final design of Garmin CIRQA, Garmin appears to have chosen a comparatively simple aesthetic that does not let the base unit with the Garmin logo be hidden under the band like Fitbit Air allows, for example — the price on the listing is surprisingly high: the store states a list price of 22,399 UAH ($509), with a pre-order discount the wristband costs 19,999 UAH ($454).
How it compares
If those prices are correct Garmin CIRQA will be considerably more expensive than most rivals. Fitbit Air and Amazfit Helio Strap cost $99 each, Polar Loop is offered for $199. Only Whoop MG is even more expensive because a subscription for $359 per year is required to obtain that wristband. So if Garmin is indeed charging around $500 for its fitness wristband without a display, it remains to be seen what features will justify such a high price, and there is still no official launch date known.
