Garmin is expected to launch its take on the screen-less fitness tracker blueprint established by Whoop soon, dubbed the Garmin Cirqa , and the design of the wearable may have just leaked already.

Garmin News has published an image that purports to be a render of the upcoming wearable, although that site itself admits the veracity of this leak is uncertain. It came from an anonymous source, so could just as well be a fan render as a legit Garmin-made image.

The story is a Garmin user spotted a reference and thumbnail image of the Garmin Cirqa tracker in the Connect IQ phone app, on an in-app compatibility list.

I’ve tried seeing if I can replicate the same when adding a new device in Connect IQ but, of course, the Garmin Cirqa listing was not there.

What Is The Garmin Cirqa?

The image depicts a fairly slender-looking screen-free wearable, but one that looks distinctly wider than the Fitbit Air . It also bears a highly conspicuous and relatively large Garmin logo, which plays down any ideas Garmin is going big on the style angle for this one.

Based on how these devices are typically constructed, it looks as though the central processor puck fits into a rubbery silicone-based strap, with no layer on top of that unit in the default strap option.

This kind of construction allows for all sorts of first and third-party strap designs, while keeping device thickness and weight to a minimum in this basic strap arrangement.

While this particular info drop deserves some skepticism, it is consistent with other Garmin Cirqa activity over the months. Just recently, it popped up on a regional Garmin website’s compatibility listing, giving a fairly good clue as to its wider feature set. And the name of the wearable was revealed when a product page appeared on a Garmin website much earlier in the year .

The Garmin Cirqa is likely to be one of the more feature-rich of screen-free trackers, with a recent Garmin website appearance suggesting it has a temperature sensor and — unsurprisingly — heart rate reader hardware capable of determining your blood oxygenation.

However, it will obviously be an entirely different prospect to the average Garmin watch, as it is not likely to have GPS or a way to easily manually start a tracked exercise session.

These display-free wearables instead tend to rely on auto-logging of activities. It can work great, but a Garmin Cirqa is probably not the ideal solution for someone in active training who wants to be able to deliberately set the start and end of tracked sessions.
