Is the Garmin CIRQA a Whoop competitor?

Yes. CIRQA is a screenless band for recovery, sleep and readiness tracking, priced at $199.99 with no compulsory subscription. It targets the same buyers as Whoop, without the annual fee.

Is Garmin making smart glasses?

No smart glasses have been confirmed. Garmin built a heads-up display, Varia Vision, in 2016 and discontinued it, and Engo now occupies the sports HUD market. Counterpoint forecasts smart eyewear revenue of $44 billion by 2032, and Garmin’s CEO has not ruled out new form factors.

What new wearable categories is Garmin entering?

Garmin launched the CIRQA band in 2026, a CIRQA Smart Ring has leaked through a certification filing, and a return to smart eyewear remains possible. Each targets a faster-growing category than the smartwatch market Garmin already leads.
