Why are July 14, 15, 21, and 22 the dates to watch for Garmin Cirqa?

The UK trademark moved to pre-publication on July 2, with publication in the Trade Marks Journal expected in the July 16 to 23 window. Mid-month, mid-week is Garmin’s consistent pattern for consumer hardware announcements. July 15 and July 22 are the primary announcement targets; July 14 and July 21 are the likely press embargo dates.

What features is Garmin Cirqa expected to have?

Based on confirmed leaks and regulatory filings, Cirqa is expected to offer 24/7 heart rate monitoring, Body Battery, Sleep Score, HRV Status, stress tracking, Training Readiness, and skin temperature. The trademark filing language suggests possible EDA-based sensing for emotional stress — a capability Whoop does not currently have. Core metrics are expected to remain free in Garmin Connect, with advanced AI features behind Connect+.

How much will Garmin Cirqa cost?

Garmin has not confirmed pricing. A Ukrainian retailer listing implied $370 to $500. Modelled against the Garmin portfolio and the competitive pressure from the $99 Fitbit Air, the defensible range is $249 to $349. Sub-$300 makes the strongest case against Whoop in terms of lifetime cost.

What sizes and colours will Garmin Cirqa come in?

Two sizes confirmed by the January 2026 product listing leak: S/M for wrists of 120 to 200mm, and L/XL for 145 to 240mm. Two colours: Black and French Grey.

Is Garmin Cirqa a Whoop competitor?

Yes, in positioning. The trademark wording covers stress recovery, alertness and performance with no mention of workout tracking — the same ground Whoop occupies. At $249 to $299, with core metrics free, Cirqa makes a strong lifetime cost case against Whoop One and Peak. The trademark filing also points to possible EDA sensing, a stress measurement modality that Whoop has never implemented.
