Garmin CIRQA Debuts in Malaysia: 10-Day Battery & Zero Subscription Fees at RM899
Garmin Malaysia has officially announced the CIRQA Smart Band, its very first screen-free health and fitness tracker designed for users who want complete health insights without constant screen distractions.
Unlike competing subscription-based health bands on the market, the CIRQA requires no monthly fees to access its full suite of health and wellness metrics – which is a strong alignment to consumers who want to use the device without worry of monthly fees.
Distraction-Free Health & Fitness Monitoring
The CIRQA Smart Band focuses on continuous, 24/7 monitoring through a lightweight, comfortable fabric band that can be worn on either the wrist or upper arm (for less intrusive tracking). It comes in two sizes (S/M and L/XL) and four colors: Black, French Gray, Captain Blue, and Mauve.
Key features include:
- Battery Life: Offers up to 10 days of battery life on a single charge.
- 24/7 Health Tracking: Tracks wrist-based heart rate, Body Battery energy levels, Pulse Ox, stress, and skin temperature.
- Sleep & Women’s Health: Features sleep stage breakdowns, sleep scores, nap detection, and skin temperature-based menstrual/ovulation tracking.
- Fitness Tracking: Automatically detects activities or manually logs over 80 sports (including running, walking, yoga and more) via a single side button. Includes advanced metrics such as VO2 Max, Training Readiness, and HRV status.
- Connected GPS & Safety: Connects to your smartphone’s GPS to log outdoor runs or rides, and supports LiveTrack real-time location sharing with your loved ones.
PriceShop editorial thoughts:
The Garmin CIRQA is a smart move for anyone suffering from screen fatigue or those who prefer wearing a classic analog watch while still gathering accurate health metrics underneath. The biggest win for financially wise consumers is the zero subscription fee model—saving you a significant amount over time compared to competitors like WHOOP (~US$25 per month) or smart-rings like OURA Ring.
However, at RM 899, everyday Malaysian buyers should keep a couple of caveats in mind. First, because it relies on connected GPS, you must bring your smartphone along on outdoor workouts if you want precise distance and route mapping.
Secondly, as there is no display, you will need to rely entirely on the Garmin Connect app on your phone to review your real-time performance data.

The Garmin CIRQA Smart Band will be officially available in Malaysia starting August 21, 2026.
