Garmin Prepares Screenless Smart Band for Launch

WireByte Staff · July 13, 2026

Garmin is reportedly preparing its screenless smart band, the Cirqa, for launch after filing trademarks with governing bodies in the US, Canada, and EU. The device aims to compete with 'focus wearables' like Google Fitbit Air and Whoop bands, with a redesigned AI-powered app expected to accompany its release.

Key points

  • Garmin has filed trademarks for the name 'Cirqa' with the US Patent and Trademark Office, as well as governing bodies in Canada and the EU.
  • The Cirqa is a screenless smart band designed to compete with 'focus wearables' like Google Fitbit Air and Whoop bands.
  • A redesigned AI-powered app is expected to accompany the release of the Cirqa.
  • The device is a body-worn sensor rather than a communication device, suggesting a new direction for Garmin's fitness offerings.
