Garmin Launches $199 Cirqa Smart Band as Leaked Pricing Proves Accurate

Summary
Garmin has officially unveiled the Cirqa Smart Band at $199 in the US, £179 in the UK and AU$299 in Australia, confirming pricing that had surfaced through its own website systems.
The launch follows backend listings tied to part number 010-04675-00, which returned a valid Garmin price response while a control number produced an error, giving the leak unusual credibility.
Two circulating images said to show the screenless wearable drew skepticism before launch because the designs differed sharply and users flagged them as possible AI-generated fakes.
Cirqa had already emerged as a likely Fitbit Air and Whoop rival, and the lower-than-rumored price undercuts earlier speculation that the device could cost about $500.
