Garmin may have just accidentally leaked its Whoop competitor early

January 27, 2026

The long-rumored screenless Garmin looks set to debut sooner rather than later, with a ‘CIRQA Smart Band’ appearing on several of the fitness-tracking giant’s official websites.

A since-removed product page for the CIRQA on Garmin’s regional sites appeared on the brand’s US, Canada, and Brazil platforms earlier today (26 January).

While the pages were swiftly scrubbed—and related posts via the Garmin Reddit community also appear to be being squashed—the leak essentially confirms rumors that the company is ready to debut a new form factor for its tracking.

It’s no surprise that the form factor isn’t something like a smart ring, either, given Garmin executives told Wareable back in 2024 that it still believed the wrist was the best place to garner accurate tracking data.

While many details are yet to be confirmed, the fact that this is an entirely new moniker—and tagged as a ‘Smart Band’—strongly suggests it’s a non-watch competitor to screenless wearables like Whoop 5.0 and the Oura Ring 4.

Right now, all we know is that the leaked data identifies CIRQA as part number 010-04675-00, and that it will be sold in two sizes: S/M (fitting wrists 120–145mm) and L/XL (up to 240mm). The fact that these sizes are for the wrist further narrows the form factor, suggesting it’s different from the upper-arm Index Sleep Monitor (released last year).

The early product page suggests it will be available in two understated colorways, too: Black and French Grey. And, perhaps most tellingly, the listing indicated a shipping window of 4 to 5 months, hinting at an announcement and rollout in May or June 2026. Wareable
