The Short Version
Leaked listings suggest Garmin's screenless Cirqa fitness band will cost around $500, far above the Fitbit Air at $99 and Polar Loop at $199, though Garmin has not confirmed details.
Garmin is pricing the Cirqa like a luxury watch, not a fitness band. At $507, it costs more than a full year of Whoop 5.0 membership. Fitbit is the clear winner here. Garmin hands budget-conscious buyers a very easy reason to walk away.
