Multiple recent leaks suggest Garmin<\/a> is about to announce a new kind of trendy wearable. <\/p>\n That trend? The screenless tracker, brought to at least some of the public\u2019s attention by the popular Whoop band series. <\/p>\n A listing for a Cirque Smart Band wearable appeared on the brand\u2019s own Canadian website. It was rapidly removed, but an image of the listing was grabbed ahead of that. <\/p>\n The5Krunner<\/a> has also claimed wearables commentator DC Rainmaker may be currently testing the device. A now-deleted Instagram post features a part-obscured wearable worn on DC Rainmaker\u2019s upper arm, the site suggesting he may be currently testing the Garmin wearable alongside the Whoop<\/a> 5.0. <\/p>\n Is it concrete proof? Absolutely not, it\u2019s optimistic if informed speculation. <\/p>\n The site also captured a screengrab of a Google listing for the Cirque Smart Band, which features an image. But it appears to be a placeholder rather than an image of the actual wearable. <\/p>\n What the pulled product page does tell us, though, is that the Garmin Cirque will likely come in two band sizes \u2014 small\/medium and large\/extra large. And that its two colors are Black and French Grey. <\/p>\n These wearables can typically be worn either on the wrist or the upper arm. Or even the waist, torso or leg, in the case of the Whoop 5.0.<\/p>\n The curious element of the recent proliferation of screenless wearables is they often don\u2019t approach their target audience in the same way Whoop originally did. <\/p>\n Whoop was primarily a recovery tool in its early years, letting athletes avoid overtraining while pushing for fitness improvements. The series has since developed into more of an all-round wellness tool, with hardware that incorporates ECG readings and irregular heart rate notifications. <\/p>\n When I talked to Polar CEO<\/a> Sander Herring last year, he said a key part of the appeal of these new wearables is in letting folks get away from screens. <\/p>\n Recent shifts in Garmin\u2019s feature set also suggest this Cirque Smart Band may be more of a holistic health wearable than one for the brand\u2019s traditional hardcore athletic crowd. Earlier this month Garmin announced nutrition tracking<\/a> for subscribers to the Connect+<\/a> platform. <\/p>\n
