Without screen: Garmin has already made its new CIRQA official. This activity bracelet arrives to compete directly with Whoop and Google’s FitBit Air in a sector that is increasingly gaining momentum. Its proposal plays with a very interesting advantage compared to its rivals and can now be purchased in Spain: it costs 199.99 euros.

A bracelet without a screen that has no subscription

These devices have the clear objective of helping us measure our health or our workouts, but without the need to have a screen that can distract us with notifications. In this way, as with the proposals from Google or Whoop, we will always have to consult the information on our mobile phone.

With more or less differences compared to its rivals, subscription is once again the way to fit this CIRQA among its rivals. In that sense, This new bracelet is closer to Google’s Fitbit Air: You can buy it without a mandatory subscription and use a lot of functions, but if you want everything it offers, then you have to check out with Garmin Connect+ subscription. On the other hand, without any subscription, we have other bracelets like the Polar Loop.

And what is Garmin CIRQA for? As we say, it is an activity bracelet that can help us measure many parameters. There we can enter the heart rate, something that is constantly measured (in fact, notifies us if it measures an irregular frequency). In addition, also respiratory rate, stress, sleep, hydration, feminine health and even skin temperature, among many other things.

To all of the above we must add that it can also help us control our workouts using GPS (it depends on the mobile connection for this). It has up to 10 days of autonomy and is available in two different sizes and four colors.
