Garmin has announced the CIRQA™ Smart Band, a screen-free smart band for health and fitness tracking, with data accessible through the Garmin Connect™ app. The band offers up to 10 days of battery life and does not require a subscription.

The band automatically detects and records a range of activities without a screen, and adapts to more accurately classify activities over time as users confirm or edit them in Garmin Connect. It has a fabric strap and can be worn on the wrist or as an arm band, and is available in Citron Gray, Mauve, French Gray, Dark Olive, Captain Blue, French Blue and Black.

When worn day and night, CIRQA Smart Band tracks metrics including wrist-based heart rate, Body Battery™ energy monitoring, Pulse Ox, stress, and skin temperature, viewable in Garmin Connect. It also includes menstrual cycle and pregnancy tracking, period predictions and past ovulation estimates based on skin temperature during sleep, and can sync with the Natural Cycles birth control app (Natural Cycles subscription required).

Sleep tracking includes sleep stage breakdown, a sleep score, guidance on sleep duration, heart rate variability, respiration and nap detection.

Fitness tracking includes daily steps and calories burned, manual tracking of more than 80 activities via a single side button, training readiness, HRV status, VO2 max, training status, workout benefit and recovery time estimates. The band connects to a compatible iPhone® or Android™ smartphone's GPS for outdoor activity tracking, and supports LiveTrack location sharing with the Garmin Connect app.
