🚀 New Launches
Garmin Cirqa actually solves the WHOOP problem nobody talks about: the subscription tax. Screenless recovery bands are having a moment, and Garmin’s distribution + IRIS clearance make this the only real competitor WHOOP should be worried about.
Marty’s Take:
The Garmin Cirqa signals that recovery-first wearables are becoming a permanent category, not a niche experiment. Oura nailed the ring, WHOOP owns the band, and now Garmin is forcing the conversation — if a brand with their retail footprint launches a no-screen recovery device, the form factor is officially validated. Check any best fitness tracker list in 12 months: a dedicated recovery band next to your GPS watch will be the standard recommendation, not the exception.
