Garmin Cirqa redefines screen-free wearables as a middle ground between Fitbit Air and Whoop 5.0

Tom’s Guide’s Dan Bracaglia reviews Garmin Cirqa, a screen-free fitness tracker that sits between Fitbit Air and Whoop 5.0 on price and features. Cirqa costs $199 (more than Air’s $99 but cheaper than Whoop’s recurring subscription), weighs about 14.8 g (heavier than Air but lighter than Whoop), and lasts around 10 days per charge. Garmin’s Connect app provides deeper sleep and wellness insights (including Fitness Age and recovery time) and Cirqa supports Natural Cycles, offering more actionable data than Fitbit’s app. A standout design touch is a single side button to control 80+ workout types, reducing reliance on the app. Overall, Cirqa aims to blend the accessibility of Fitbit Air with some of Whoop’s holistic metrics, making it a solid middle-ground option for screen-free wearables.
