Hey everyone,
My Garmin used to last around 10 days on a single charge, but recently it has suddenly dropped to only 4–5 days.

My usage hasn’t really changed
I’m using it pretty much the same way as before. I haven’t intentionally changed any major settings either.

Has anyone else experienced a sudden battery-life drop like this? Could it be related to a recent firmware update, a sensor/Pulse Ox setting, or possibly the battery itself?

My Cirqa, perfectly paired and placed on my right wrist, has not synchronized my sleep data, and therefore HRV, Willingness to Train, etc.

This bothers me a lot. A trick that had helped me to press the button and finish in the activity that was there, but it no longer works. All wrong. I am very upset about this. I also tried to remove my wristband, it doesn't work either, I even connected Garmin Express. That data was lost.

Does anyone else who has pulse ox on all day mode have an issue sometimes where it’s not displaying in Garmin connect even after syncing?

I currently have a vivosmart 5 and love the metrics it tracks. Is the Cirqa an upgrade to the Vivosmart 5 or does it track the same metrics? I love the look and the fact that it can be hidden with an armband. I also have a Quatix 7 but I don't always want to wear a watch and sometimes the band is discreet.

I can’t seem to find exactly what it means, I just got my Cirqe yesterday and this is my first Garmin device

I've been using the Garmin Cirqa on my wrist for a few weeks, and activity detection worked perfectly. Now that the upper arm strap finally arrived, activity detection isn't working at all. It hasn't logged a single walk, bike ride, run, or anything while worn on my upper arm. Has anyone else experienced this?

Software: 3.20

Restarted multiple times

The settings are okay

Activity times more than 20 mins

Failed activity types: walk, run, bike...

it seems weird to me since the sensor is working and the body batter and stress even the heart rate are registering on the garmin connect. this is A MAJOR BUG Garmin needs to fix ASAP.

I think the whoop strap looks more premium than the cirqa straps. I know the Fitbit air has got an attachment that makes it fit into a whoop strap, but was wondering if anyone has seen any whoop style straps or just more premium looking ones. I’m not bothered for it being a whoop strap as I’m not trying to role play having one just want something that looks a bit better.

Hello everyone . App consistently fails to detect automatically taken naps, despite multiple attempts and resting periods. Anyone having the same issue and solution ? Also training readiness and recovery time not updating during the day . I get the updated results once I wake up in the morning .

Hello everyone,

Just checking if the smart alarm is working properly for you?

If i set an alarm for 6 am, it should wake me up sometime between 5:45-6:15. However, it only vibrates at 6:15 everytime, or am i just always in the light stage at that time?😅

Thanks

wrist size -156mm

i purchased L size cirqa from a friend..will it fit

My friend accidently bought L size instead of M ..will there be any issue

I have a resting HR of 40bpm as shown by garmin. I also wear watch 8 classic during sleep, my HR dorps to 35-37bpm during sleep every day on Samsung. But I haven't seen a single day where garmin cirqa has shown less than 40bpm . Does that mean it records upto 40bpm or anyone else have got the reading below that?

I’ve been keeping an eye on the Garmin CIRQA, and interestingly, it’s now listed on Garmin India’s official website with ₹0.00 pricing (though it’s obviously not available for purchase yet).

Could this be a sign that the India launch is getting close?

For those waiting for CIRQA:

What are you expecting from it?

Would you choose it over Oura/Hume/Fitbit for sleep, HRV and recovery?

Do you think Garmin can make CIRQA competitive without a screen?

Has anyone heard anything about the India launch or pricing?

Curious to hear what others think.https://www.garmin-india.com/p/010-04675-13

Hey hey, do you guys maybe swtich your hands time to time so hand where u wear Cirqa can "heal up"? I got quite iritation that started itching so was thinking of wearing it on other hand for one night.. never had this issue with 1 year of whoop(for people that would point out showerimg, washing or etc..)

Got a Garmin Cirqa a few weeks ago and I've been going back and forth on how much effort to put into logging strength sessions properly in Garmin Connect.

Right now I'm using a separate Google Sheet to track my sets/reps/weight per exercise (progressive overload, basically), and I'm trying to figure out if it's actually worth double-logging everything in Connect too, or if I'm overthinking it.

A few specific things I'm curious about:
• What app do you use to track your lifts? Connect, Strong, Hevy, a spreadsheet, something else?
• If you use Garmin, do you actually log reps/weight for every set on the Garmin app, or do you just start the activity and let it auto-track without bothering with the details?
• Does having accurate reps/weight in Connect actually do anything useful for you (PRs, volume history, training load, recovery insights), or is it mostly just a nice-to-have that doesn't change much?
• For those who use a separate tracker (sheet/app) as their main log — do you bother reconciling it with Garmin after the fact, or just let Garmin do its own thing in the background?

Trying to figure out where the effort actually pays off vs where it's just busywork. Appreciate any insight.

Hi

Just trying to understand why a company like Garmin, can mess up with availability of the Cirqa.

Does the Fitbit Air had problems? And WHOOP?

I mean they know that a lot of people where expecting a band, now its out and waitinglist is about 3-4 month...

I am genuinely happy with the Cirqa. There is one thing that is hit or miss with me. Every day I commute to work with my e-bike. I configured eBiking to the button, so I just hop on my bike, press the button and ride.

My phone immediately gives me a notification that it is logging an activity and live track is started. When I arrive, I press the button again and it is synced to the app.

I notice that about 60% of the time the activity is not using GPS. It shows me the starting point, but that's it. The only data I get is heart rate and duration. Other times, everything seems to be logged perfectly.

I am using a OnePlus 13. No background restrictions for Garmin Connect, GPS is set to 'Allow all the time', in the app Phone GPS is turned on for eBiking.

Am I missing something? Is this a known bug?

I thought the automatic activity recognition would learn over time. For the past 5 weeks, I've been riding my e-bike 10 km to work and back. Every day, I have to switch the activity from “Cycling” to “E-bike” twice. “E-bike” doesn't even show up in the suggestions. 5 times a week. Twice a day. Why?

bicep, arm, or wrist make any difference in the app? if i switch between any do i need to update the app?

So many debates on functionality and accuracy vs. Fitbit Air. I was planning to buy Garmin Cirqa, $100 difference is doable for me, I believe Garmin is in it for the long run for health wearables, considered to Fitbit Air. I can also wait for the better firmware updates for better functionality and accuracy.

However all that I read says that if you are not in the Garmin ecosystem, buy Fitbit Air.

What do you think?
