Garmin CIRQA leaks in four colors with outdated sensor - Notebookcheck

What the report says

Notebookcheck reports that new leaked images appear to show Garmin’s unannounced CIRQA fitness band ahead of an expected launch. The images, attributed in the report to Reddit user jneuveglise and said to have come from an official Garmin website, show the wearable in four color options: beige, blue, red and black. According to the outlet, the color changes appear limited to the fabric strap and clasp, while the main electronics housing remains black across all versions.

The reported images also provide a fuller look at the device’s design, including an adjustable band, a “Garmin CIRQA Smart Band” marking on the rear, and a charging connector that Notebookcheck says matches the one used on current Garmin smartwatches. The article notes that the strap appears to use a standard quick-release mechanism, which could allow compatibility with conventional watch straps. Four visible screws may indicate the device can be opened for battery replacement, though the report says no water-resistance label is visible in the images.

A key detail in the leak is the sensor module. Notebookcheck says the CIRQA appears to use Garmin’s older Elevate 4 sensor rather than the newer Elevate 5. If accurate, that would likely mean the band lacks features associated with newer Garmin sensors, such as ECG capability and skin temperature measurement. The outlet frames the choice as a possible cost-saving measure, citing rumors that the CIRQA could be priced around €199 or $199.

Garmin has not been reported in the article as confirming the device, specifications or pricing. The information remains based on leaked imagery and related rumors pending any official announcement.
