Garmin's cashing in on the screenless Whoop-style smart band trend with its upcoming CIRQA — here's the proof

Whoop, Amazfit Helio Strap, Polar Loop.

• CIRQA, a new trademark from Garmin, has been spotted on the US Patent and Trademark Office website
• The name is the same as the screenless smart band leaked earlier this year, more proof of its existence
• Garmin follows Fitbit, Amazfit and Polar in encroaching on Whoop's screenless smart band turf

Garmin CIRQA. Get ready to hear that name a lot, even though it's not technically going to be a new entry into our best Garmin watches guide. Instead, it's a screenless smart band designed for performance without distraction, just like the Whoop 5.0, Amazfit Helio Strap and Polar Loop.
