Garmin CIRQA First Image Appears But Probably Fake
A detailed Garmin CIRQA listing has appeared on mijia-shop.com, a grey-market electronics retailer in Kazakhstan. It includes full specifications, a price of 36,900 roubles (around 480 dollars), and a June shipping estimate. It looks like a leak. It is probably not one.
Why the listing does not add up
The site is an independent reseller with no ties to Garmin, and it routinely pre-lists rumoured products. The unreleased Google Fitbit Air sits in the same catalogue and receives the same treatment. The CIRQA description reads as marketing copy built from existing rumour coverage rather than anything sourced via Garmin.
The specifications give it away.
The listing claims SmO2 muscle-oxygen tracking, a metric Garmin does not yet measure optically on any wearable, and one that has not appeared in any app teardown or regulatory filing (although it may follow later in a different form factor based on a leaked Trademark). It is the kind of impressive-sounding detail these listings invent. The product image appears unique and new, but it is of a cheap-looking band not suited to the $480 supposed price tag and is unverified, likely a mockup rather than a real render.
The price is a reseller figure with regional markup, not a Garmin recommended price. Treat the whole listing as fake. CIRQA may well launch within weeks, but nothing on this page confirms it.

My favourite kit and nutrition
- Maurten — the race nutrition trusted by elite athletes. Gels and drink mix engineered to be easy on the stomach.
- Garmin 90-degree charging adapter — the small adapter that keeps your charging cable tidy at the stem. Essential for race day.
- Garmin charging puck — the fastest and most reliable way to top up your Garmin before a session.
- Ravemen FR300 — front light that mounts directly under your Garmin or Wahoo head unit. Keeps your bars clean and your beam pointed where it matters.
- Garmin Varia RTL515 — radar rear light that alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind. Pairs with your Edge or Garmin watch.
- Stryd — the footpod that brings running power to your Garmin. The single most useful running upgrade I have made.
- Favero Assioma Pro RS2 — the power meter pedals most serious cyclists end up choosing. Accurate, easy to move between bikes.
