Four screws suggest that the wearable can be opened relatively easily to replace the battery. However, there is no label indicating whether the device is waterproof. The charging port is the same one used in current Garmin smartwatches, so existing chargers can likely still be used. The wristband uses the same quick-release system as conventional watches, so watch straps may also be compatible. <\/p>\n
Interestingly, these images already show that the Garmin CIRQA is equipped with the older Garmin Elevate 4 sensor instead of the more modern Elevate 5. Above all, this means that the Garmin CIRQA likely does not include a skin temperature sensor or an ECG. Garmin isn\u2019t alone in this decision \u2013\u00a0the Polar Loop ($199 on Amazon<\/a>) also uses the older Polar Precision Prime sensor instead of the Elixir sensor. The reason for this is likely cost, as rumors suggest<\/a> the Garmin CIRQA will launch for \u20ac199 or $199.
