What the report says

Notebookcheck reports that Garmin’s upcoming CIRQA tracker may launch at a lower price than earlier leaks suggested, based on pricing information allegedly retrievable from Garmin’s own website using the product number. The publication says Garmin has not proactively announced the device, and that the pricing data appears to have been exposed unintentionally, meaning it could still change before release.

According to Notebookcheck’s account of an analysis by Reddit user Chipmux, the Garmin CIRQA is listed at suggested retail prices of €199 in the eurozone, $200 in the United States and £179 in the United Kingdom. Notebookcheck notes these are manufacturer-listed prices, not necessarily the final “street” prices retailers may charge once the product becomes available. The outlet also says the new figures are well below an earlier retailer leak that it had already treated as questionable.

The CIRQA is described as a display-less tracker and, while Garmin has made other screen-free devices, Notebookcheck says this model appears likely to be the company’s first such tracker aimed specifically at sports use. Technical specifications remain unclear, although the article says some feature details have surfaced previously. The report frames the product as part of a small but growing category of wearables that track activity without a traditional smartwatch display.

For context, Notebookcheck compares the possible pricing with rival devices using a similar concept, including the Amazfit Helio Strap, which it says is currently listed on Amazon for $95. That comparison suggests Garmin may be positioning CIRQA above some lower-cost competitors, while still below earlier expectations. No official launch date, confirmed specifications or final retail availability were provided in the supplied report.
