According to a recent price leak, the Garmin CIRQA is set to be significantly cheaper than previously assumed: In Garmin’s own price database, the display-less fitness tracker is listed at around 199 euros. This figure comes directly from Garmin’s backend system and is therefore considered much more reliable than earlier rumors, which cited a price of up to 500 euros. Garmin has not yet officially confirmed the Cirqa.
What exactly is the Garmin CIRQA?
The CIRQA isn’t Garmin’s first tracker without a display, but it’s likely the first one specifically designed for use during sports. Instead of a built-in display, the Garmin Connect app shows all the metrics measured by the wristband. With this move, Garmin is positioning itself in a segment currently served by companies such as Whoop, Google’s Fitbit Air, and the Amazfit Helio Strap, among others. Garmin has not yet made an official statement about the device. The information currently available comes exclusively from leaks, certifications, and now from its own pricing system.
How the price was discovered
The key clue came from Reddit user chipmux. He entered the part number 010-04675-00 (known from an accidental store leak in January) into a publicly accessible Garmin pricing API. The system returned a standard U.S. price of $199.99—without requiring a login and without the part number being fabricated. Other news outlets replicated the method and, as a test, entered the part number of a Garmin watch already on the market: The interface returned the exact known retail price. In contrast, a randomly generated part number in the same format yielded no results. This suggests that the price data is genuine and has been entered into the system, rather than being a fluke.
Nevertheless, it’s important to put this into context: This is a suggested retail price from a backend system that hasn’t gone live yet—not an official announcement. The price is still subject to change until the actual market launch.
Garmin CIRQA: Prices at a Glance
According to the extracted data, Garmin has already localized prices for over a dozen markets. This is a step manufacturers usually take only shortly before the market launch:
| Market | Price |
|---|---|
| Germany / Eurozone | €199.99 |
| USA | $199.99 |
| United Kingdom | £179.99 |
| Switzerland | CHF 189.90 |
| Canada | CA$279.99 |
| Sweden | 2,299 SEK |
| Poland | 859 PLN |
For Germany, this means the Garmin CIRQA is likely to be priced at around 199 euros at launch. Whether the street price will later match this exact figure remains to be seen. As with any wearable, retailers may offer discounts or markups.
Eight SKUs and a Garmin Connect+ connection
It’s striking that Garmin’s system lists not just one, but eight different SKUs for the CIRQA, all at the identical price of $199.99. That’s more variants than the original store leak—which suggested two sizes and two colors—would have indicated, and points to additional color or edition options that haven’t been announced yet. The listed accessories also include Garmin Connect+ subscriptions, available on both a monthly and annual basis. This suggests that at least some of the CIRQA’s features may be tied to the paid version of the app.
The previous price rumor was significantly higher
Until recently, a completely different figure was circulating: A Ukrainian retailer had listed the CIRQA in May for the equivalent of about $450 to $510—five times as expensive as Google’s Fitbit Air. However, this source seemed unreliable from the start, and several news outlets had expressed reservations accordingly. The data now coming from Garmin’s own system is hardly consistent with that figure and suggests that the retailer’s price was either a placeholder or simply incorrect.
How does the price compare to the competition?
At around 199 euros, the Garmin CIRQA would fall in the middle of the pack among display-less wearables: significantly more expensive than the Amazfit Helio Strap, which is already available for about 100 euros, but also clearly cheaper than originally feared. Whoop relies on a subscription model rather than a one-time purchase price anyway, while the Fitbit Air is priced even lower than the Amazfit band. The CIRQA is therefore likely to appeal primarily to users who have already invested in Garmin’s ecosystem and value the familiar sensor technology and Garmin Connect, but don’t want an additional display on their wrist.
Conclusion
The Garmin CIRQA is thus shaping up to be a significantly more affordable product than the price leak from this spring suggested. At around 199 euros, the tracker would be priced well below most Garmin sports watches, such as the Garmin Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar, and would instead compete directly with specialized brands like Amazfit or Whoop. An official announcement from Garmin is still pending but, according to reports, is expected shortly.
