The Short Version
A leak suggests Garmin is developing a screenless fitness band called CIRQA with dual-sensor auto-detection to rival Whoop.
Garmin is reportedly building a Whoop-style band called CIRQA, and the most interesting part of the leak is dual-sensor auto-detection, meaning the band would recognize whether you are wearing it on your wrist or somewhere else and adjust its readings accordingly. Whoop built its reputation on continuous health tracking that does not require you to think about it. Garmin matching that would remove the one thing Whoop does better. The catch, as anyone who has used fitness hardware knows, is that automatic detection sounds clean in a spec sheet and feels broken in a drawer.
