Garmin is building a CIRQA Ring to extend the CIRQA Band ecosystem, with no confirmed specs or date per The5kRunner. Ring shoppers in Garmin’s ecosystem have a reason to wait for details before buying a Samsung Galaxy Ring or Oura Ring.

Marty’s Take:

Garmin splitting CIRQA into a band and a ring signals form factor is becoming the segmentation tool, not the product: band for daytime tracking, ring for sleep-focused users who won’t wear a wrist device to bed. That’s the same split Samsung and Oura already run. Anyone shopping right now should compare form factors in our best fitness tracker roundup before picking one.
