Garmin has launched Cirqa, a screen-free health and fitness band that tracks sleep, heart rate, stress and daily activity without a display to look at. A single physical button and a fabric ComfortFit strap keep the device deliberately quiet on the wrist, sending its data to the Garmin Connect app rather than demanding attention on the body itself.
Priced at a one-time $199.99 with no subscription, Cirqa positions itself directly against Whoop, whose tracking sits behind an annual membership. Battery life runs up to ten days, and the band arrived for order on 24 July 2026 — part of a wider move toward calmer, subscription-free self-tracking.
So…:
Where could less screen and no subscription make your own offer easier to live with?
