Garmin Cirqa Design May Have Leaked Early - Forbes

What the report says

Forbes reports that a possible early image of Garmin’s rumored Cirqa fitness tracker has surfaced ahead of any confirmed launch. The article, published July 20, 2026, says the image was posted by Garmin News and is presented as a render of the device, but its authenticity remains unclear because it reportedly came from an anonymous source and could be unofficial fan-made artwork.

According to Forbes, the leak story centers on a Garmin user who allegedly saw a Cirqa reference and thumbnail inside Garmin’s Connect IQ phone app on a compatibility list. Contributor Andrew Williams wrote that he tried to reproduce the listing while adding a new device, but the Cirqa entry was not visible. The reported design shows a slim, screen-free band-style tracker with a prominent Garmin logo and what appears to be a central module fitted into a silicone-like strap.

Forbes says the latest image aligns with earlier signs that Garmin has been preparing a screenless wearable, including prior appearances of the Cirqa name or compatibility information on Garmin websites. Those earlier listings reportedly suggested features such as temperature sensing and heart-rate hardware capable of blood oxygen readings, though Garmin has not formally detailed the product in the cited article.

The potential device matters because it would place Garmin more directly in the market for display-free fitness trackers associated with brands such as Whoop. Forbes notes that, unlike many Garmin watches, a screenless tracker would likely depend more on automatic activity detection and may not suit users who want manual workout start and stop controls or built-in GPS-based training tools.
