    Works well but bad battery life

    Only lasts a couple days and sometimes doesn’t charge other than that it’s very comfortable and works well.

    Great Design, But Disappointed by Durability

    I really wanted to love the Garmin Círca Smart Band. I loved how comfortable and lightweight it felt, and the minimalist design was exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, my experience took an unexpected turn. I wore it while taking a bath, and afterward it stopped working. I was honestly surprised and disappointed, so I had to return it. I still think the Círca has a lot of potential, especially because of its comfort and design. I just wish it had held up better to everyday water exposure. I hope Garmin improves this in future versions, because I would definitely consider giving it another chance.

    Easy fit, great battery life

    I love the fit of this and love the fact it doesn’t need a subscription to function. I usually can’t sleep with anything on my wrist but I forget this is even on. The auto tracking is great as well.

    Love the Garmin Cirqa

    This wearable is comfortable and very insighful into my health. It advises me on my sleep and is very intune with my workout levels.
