Garmin Cirqa challenges Fitbit Air in screenless fitness tracker market

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Garmin has launched the Cirqa, a new screenless fitness tracker, positioning it as a competitor to Google's Fitbit Air. Both devices offer basic tracking features like steps, sleep, and workouts, along with heart health analysis. However, the Cirqa is priced at $200, double the Fitbit Air's $100 cost, and offers a longer battery life of 10 days compared to the Fitbit's seven. The Fitbit Air is smaller and lighter, while the Cirqa includes a physical button for manual activity tracking and offers more advanced metrics like Training Status and Body Battery. AI

IMPACT Niche tooling improvement; minimal industry-wide impact.
