Garmin appears to have accidentally teased its upcoming “smart band” Garmin Cirqa wearable, which is expected to be announced before too long.

A reference to the wearable appeared on Garmin’s own website this week, before being removed fairly swiftly after.

To be specific, it was on a support page from Garmin’s Romanian website, in a list of models. There are loads of these lists all over the Garmin website, seen virtually wherever the company needs to explain which features or changes relate to which models.

Garmin is never short of features, or watch models.

This is not dissimilar to the way I first learnt about the Garmin Cirqa, when it appeared on a Garmin website but as a partially populated product page.

That much earlier leak appeared to suggest the Garmin Cirqa could arrive some time in July, but this new one suggests the wearable will have support Health Status feature instead.

It’s more interesting than that may sound, as Health Status collates heart rate, heart rate variability, SpO2 (Pulse Ox), breathing rate and skin temperature stats.

What Is The Garmin Cirqa?

While the Garmin Cirqa is expected to be a screen-free wearable, this suggests Garmin has not gone down the route of making it a particularly low-tech one too.

Its capabilities appear to be similar to those of a Garmin Index Sleep , which was introduced as a “sleep monitor” wearable in June 2025.

While Garmin is yet to officially acknowledge the Cirqa smart band, the Index Sleep’s launch has already mapped out a possible launch plan for what is likely to be a bigger seller — as a more mainstream proposition.

The Index Sleep does not require an ongoing subscription, but when paired with a Connect+ membership — at $6.99 a month — the user gets more insights, some of which are AI-derived.

Screen-free wearables are a hot category at present. While they have been around for years in their current guise thanks to Whoop , which released its first band a decade ago in 2016, the scene recently became far busier thanks to devices like the Google Fitbit Air .

While that band pushes a Google Health Premium subscription fairly strongly, it can be used without one. You simply end up with a much more stripped back, less conversational version of the wearable app feed on your phone — and some may actually prefer that.

The Fitbit Air costs $99.99, and I would be surprised if Garmin gets anywhere close to that low a price, given the cost of its other devices. A Garmin Index Sleep costs $169.99, offering a much better guide as to the likely cost of the Garmin Cirqa smart band.
