Garmin appears to have revealed pricing for the unreleased Cirqa, its rumored screenless rival to Fitbit Air. The company’s backend lists the wearable at $199.99 in the US, £179 in the UK, and €199 in Europe—well below the previously rumored $500 price.

Garmin Cirqa pricing leak

Reddit users found the listing through the part number 010-04675-00, included in a leaked image that purportedly showed details of the Cirqa Smart Band. Entering that number into Garmin’s pricing endpoint returns a listing for “$199.99 USD.”

“That response is coming directly from buy.garmin.com. It is not a Google cache, retailer listing or archived screenshot.”

A test part number, 010-99999-99, returns an error, suggesting the result is not generated for every Garmin-style product number. Slightly changing the number also reveals other versions of the same device, potentially representing different sizes or band colors.

Leaked Cirqa images raise doubts

Two images allegedly showing the Cirqa have also surfaced. One appears to show the band inside a Garmin app, while the other resembles a marketing image, via the5krunner. However, the products look noticeably different, with conflicting designs and features.

Some users have suggested that one or both images may be AI-generated fakes. That makes the pricing data more credible by comparison, since it comes directly from Garmin’s website rather than relying solely on an anonymous image.

The listing could indicate that Garmin is loading the Cirqa into its databases ahead of a launch, but the company has not confirmed when the wearable will arrive. If released at the leaked price, it could bring competition to the screenless wearable market currently associated with Fitbit Air.
