Garmin Introduces the Whoop Alternative That Requires No Subscription
Screenless smart band makes health tracking more passive.
1Screenless Health Tracking
The Garmin CIRQA stands out with its screenless design. This smart band aims to reduce users' habit of constantly checking screens. All data is routed to the Garmin Connect app, where users can review it at their convenience.
2Comprehensive Sensor Technology
CIRQA tracks all the metrics Garmin is known for. It monitors users' health 24/7 with features like heart rate, stress levels, body temperature, and sleep tracking. It also offers menstrual cycle tracking for women.
3Automatic Activity Recognition
The band automatically detects and records activities. Users can refine these logs in the Garmin Connect app to improve the band's activity classification accuracy. It also allows manual start for over 80 activities.
4Long Battery Life and Comfortable Design
CIRQA can last up to 10 days on a single charge. Its comfortable fabric strap and compact sensor module allow it to work unnoticed in daily life. The band is available in two sizes for wrist or upper arm.
5Subscription-Free Model
Unlike Whoop, Garmin CIRQA requires no subscription. Core features are offered for free, while Connect+ upgrades provide coaching and advanced guidance services. This offers users a significant cost advantage.
6Compatible with Garmin Watches
CIRQA is designed to complement Garmin watches. It's an ideal option for users who want to track their health overnight and throughout the day without always wearing their watches. This means users don't need to wear their watches all the time.
