Garmin CIRQA: The Screenless Health Tracker Aims for Holistic Recovery

Garmin appears to be preparing CIRQA, a screenless fitness and recovery band that relies on the Garmin Connect app for data visualization. The device reportedly packs advanced health sensors—HRV, respiratory rate, pulse oximetry, skin temperature—with speculation it could also include an electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor for stress tracking. The mostly-display-free design would extend battery life but require pairing with a phone or Garmin device for GPS and data access. An accidental listing on Garmin Romania and earlier regulatory filings point to an advanced development stage and an imminent launch, positioning CIRQA to compete with screenless trackers like Whoop within Garmin’s ecosystem.

Apple Watch 2026 Bets on Battery Life Over Touch ID, Leaker Claims

A Chinese leaker claims the next Apple Watch models won’t add Touch ID, instead prioritizing larger batteries and advanced health sensors. Unlocking is expected to remain tied to the paired iPhone, and adding a fingerprint sensor would incur extra cost and take space away from battery capacity. Earlier hints of Touch ID were found in old code, but a major design update isn’t anticipated until 2028, with glucose monitoring potentially on the horizon.

"Anticipating the Launch of Google's Next-Gen Pixel Watch"

Google is preparing to launch Pixel Watch 2 later this year. The original Pixel Watch had a solid health suite but poor battery life, thick bezels, and an outdated chipset. The Pixel Watch 2 needs to improve on these areas, especially the chipset, which could be upgraded to Exynos W920 or Snapdragon W5+. The design could also be improved by thinning out the bezels and increasing the display size. Support for health sensors, such as SpO2, could also be added.
