Garmin Cirqa: the screen-free middle ground between Fitbit Air and Whoop 5.0

Tom’s Guide hands-on with the Garmin Cirqa, a $199 screen-free fitness tracker that delivers subscription-free core health and fitness insights, up to 10 days of battery, 80+ workout modes, 24/7 heart rate, SpO2, and sleep data, plus a single physical button for manual workout control. It sits between the Fitbit Air’s entry-level approach and the Whoop 5.0’s pro-athlete orientation, offering longer battery life and holistic insights without a screen, but lacks onboard GPS and has some strap/accessory caveats. Overall, Cirqa could become a strong no-screen, no-subscription option, with a full verdict to come.
