Garmin Cirqa: Yet Another July Leak Confirms Key Sensors
On July 15, Garmin’s Romanian support page for Health Status on Garmin Connect listed the “CIRQA smart band” among compatible devices. By July 16, it was gone and the link removed, but not before Garminrumors grabbed a screenshot!
The Evidence: Garmin had updated an internal support article to include Cirqa, as shown:
What the listing confirms
Cirqa appeared among the devices whose Health Status data is viewable only in the Garmin Connect app. Health Status tracks five overnight metrics: heart rate, HRV, respiration, skin temperature, and Pulse Ox. A device cannot appear on this list without hardware for all five; thus, skin temperature and SpO2 are confirmed sensor inclusions, and Cirqa sits squarely alongside the Index Sleep Monitor in that group.
This doesn’t confirm it is a screenless band as older watches meet the same criteria, but a screenless band would sit naturally here.
The Canadian and UK trademark filings confirmed coordinated multi-jurisdictional commercial protection and indicated EDA sensing in the goods description. The UK trademark pre-publication window puts Trade Marks Journal publication in the July 16 to 23 window.

Take Out
The inclusion of CIRQA on a product support page may indicate an imminent launch. Most likely, the same support update was readied for all Garmin support pages globally, but the localised one in Romania skipped the privacy filter in error.
The most likely launch window remains next week, around 22 July. Once next week passes, the likely launch date would slip to September or beyond.
Quick answers
What did the Romanian Garmin support page confirm about Cirqa?
The page listed Cirqa as a Health Status-compatible device in the Garmin Connect app-only group. Health Status requires five overnight metrics: heart rate, HRV, respiration, skin temperature, and Pulse Ox. Skin temperature and SpO2 are confirmed hardware inclusions.
Does Garmin Cirqa have a display?
No. The Romanian support listing placed Cirqa in the group of devices whose Health Status data is viewable only in Garmin Connect, not on the device itself.
Does Garmin Cirqa have SpO2 and skin temperature sensors?
Yes. Health Status cannot be supported without hardware for all five of its tracked metrics, including Pulse Ox and skin temperature. Cirqa’s appearance on the compatibility list confirms both.
Is the Romanian Garmin support page still live?
No. The page was live on July 15 and removed by July 16. The URL is no longer active.

C’mon Garmin. It is time to release this thing.
Do you think that Garmin would release the Edge 1060 and the Cirqa on the same day / week? Hoping we see these both by the middle of August!
The question for me is whether my metrics will be unified whether I wear Cirqa or switch to my Fenix. If there’s loss of information when switching devices, then that’s a deal breaker for me. For that to work, Garmin should allow for having multiple primary devices.
