Garmin CIRQA: More Evidence Emerges of a Bluetooth Band
A Garmin device with Bluetooth as its only wireless protocol has cleared Singapore’s telecommunications equipment register, a clear launch-proximity signal if ever there was one.
Details: Listed under model number A0P3039 in Singapore’s IMDA Integrated Regulatory Information System, the device is classified as Low Power Radio Equipment, a non-specific short-range device. The applicant is Convergent Systems (S) Private Limited, Garmin’s official distributor in Singapore. No marketing name (i.e. CIRQA) is registered against the entry.
This site verified the listing directly in the IMDA database, as shown above. The model number returns a single result: brand name Garmin, Bluetooth only, no ANT+, no GPS, no Wi-Fi.
The connectivity profile effectively confirms CIRQA. Every Garmin sports watch and cycling computer in the IMDA database carries ANT+, GPS, or both alongside Bluetooth. so this is a different product category – even a new HRM would have ANT+. The closest match in Garmin’s pipeline is CIRQA, the screenless recovery band this site has tracked since a product page briefly appeared on Garmin’s own regional websites in January.
The Singapore filing follows a parallel entry in the UAE’s TDRA database under model AA5192, registered in early May through Garmin’s UAE distributor AMIT RETAIL L.L.C. Two separate regional clearances filed within weeks of each other is the pattern that precedes retail distribution, not internal testing.
Could It Be Something Else?
A: Unlikely
The evidence accumulated to this point is substantial. Garmin’s own website exposed the product name, two sizes, and a mid-2026 shipping window in January before the pages were pulled. A USPTO trademark application filed on 25 February covered wearable devices measuring physiological data linked to stress recovery, alertness, and performance. Garmin Connect versions 5.20 and 5.21 added code to prepare the app to run on a screenless device, including phone-side workout controls. Connect+ gained hardware discount codes the same week.
No marketing name appears in the IMDA entry, which is normal for a product not yet announced. Multi-region regulatory clearance at the distributor level, with the app already built to handle the device, leaves little room for alternative readings.
Other Research
We need to know dates and specs. We should get the dates before launch, but the true specs might have to wait until the big day.
I had some solid information that CIRQA would be released a few months ago. Clearly, it wasn’t. Either my reliable source was wrong this time, or Garmin got wind of the Air launch and decided to hold fire to see how that landed before settling on pricing.

I think this device was spotted first by WearableFans, I have seen that in Reddit but you didn’t mention that in the article.
I hope Garmin Cirqa to be released this month. I can’t wait more
I mean it’s literally mentioned and linked in the article. mouadeddouch runs wearablefans afaik
Did some research on this WF were not the first to spot – T3, 5k runner, Android Authority (plus others) were earlier.
ty, i did get it from mouadeddouch (as linked),its very niche stuff i’d doubt t3 got it themselves without a 3rd party tipoff
No Adam, few months ago they have spotted a new Garmin devices in Korea database and they were thinking it’s for Garmin Cirqa but eventually the model they have spotted was for another Garmin device not for Cirqa. So the device in this article was only appeared today in imda which likely for the Garmin Cirqa
The lack of ANT+ is a real letdown for my hopes of using the CIRQA as a heart rate monitor with my Garmin Edge. :/
We’ll see—maybe it’ll work via BLE after all.
let’s hope it’s a mistake or wasn’t needed to be stated in the filing (I think the latter is likely)
this would be an interesting product if in deed it were garmin’s first Bluetooth only sports accessory.
