Garmin just debuted its latest fitness tracker, the Cirqa Smart Band, and it looks a lot like a Whoop.
When the Oura Ring launched, it unleashed a barrage of competitors coming out with their own smart rings. Now, Whoop is getting that same treatment. First, there was the Fitbit Air, and now, Garmin’s Cirqa Smart Band is the latest screen-free health tracker to hit the market.
The band is designed for round-the-clock wear, able to do so with 10 days of battery life. Data collected populates in the Garmin Connect app, where users access all their biometrics, including heart rate, Body Battery energy monitoring, Pulse Ox, stress, and skin temperature. Similar to Whoop and Oura, it provides insights into women’s health and cycles, compatible with the Natural Cycles app.

Even without a screen, the Cirqa detects and records activity. The fabric band is designed for all-day comfort, coming in citron gray, mauve, French gray, dark olive, captain blue, French blue, and black. Plus, it’s designed to be worn around the wrist or as an arm band. It comes in two sizes, small/medium and large/extra-large.
But unlike the OG screen-free tracker, Whoop, the Cirqa is subscription-free. That means all you have to do is buy the band to gain access to the full suite of features.
The Circa Smart Band will be available to order on July 24 for $199.99.
