Garmin Cirqa: Release Date and Price Revealed
Garmin Cirqa: The Latest Rival to Fitbit Air and Whoop Band
Garmin’s long-awaited rival to the Fitbit Air and Whoop band has finally been spotted, with the Garmin Cirqa making an appearance in the company’s own app. The device was discovered by an anonymous source via Garmin News, who found it while digging through the setup menus of the Garmin Connect IQ app.
The Garmin Cirqa appears to be a screenless fitness tracker with a similar design to the Fitbit Air, but with a few key differences. The module containing the sensors and battery is on display, complete with a large Garmin logo, rather than hidden underneath a strap. The strap itself looks like it’s made from silicone rubber or similar and has two textured areas on either side of the module, one with the Garmin triangle logo.
The Garmin Cirqa has been tipped for a July release date, with 22 July being one possible date. However, this clashes with the Samsung Unpacked event, so it’s unclear if this will actually happen. In terms of price, the Garmin Cirqa was initially reported to be almost five times the price of the Fitbit Air, which costs £84.99. However, new information posted on Reddit suggests it could be a more affordable £179.
The Garmin Cirqa will face stiff competition from the likes of the Apple Watch Series 10, Samsung Galaxy Watch6, and the upcoming Google Pixel Watch 2. However, with its unique design and features, it could be a compelling option for those looking for a fitness tracker that stands out from the crowd.
In terms of features, the Garmin Cirqa is expected to offer a range of fitness tracking capabilities, including step tracking, distance tracking, and calorie burn tracking. It may also offer heart rate monitoring and GPS tracking, although these features have not been confirmed.
Overall, the Garmin Cirqa looks like it could be a promising new addition to the fitness tracker market. With its unique design and features, it could be a great option for those looking for a device that offers something a bit different from the usual suspects like the Fitbit Air and Whoop band.
