The Garmin Cirqa Smart Band has been officially recognized, and now there’s a listing for the ‘Cirqa Smart Ring’. This listing, noted by Garmin News, comes from a regulatory certificate issued by Indonesian authorities.
Listed on August 12, over two weeks after the Cirqa Smart Band announcement, it suggests that this is a separate entity and not a mix-up with the earlier device.

The listing makes it clear: a ring is indeed a ring. While no specific details are provided, it is anticipated that the ring will function similarly to the Cirqa Smart Band, but in ring form.
Though Garmin has not confirmed a launch, this listing indicates a significant move towards developing more focused fitness technology.
This development could position Garmin ahead of Google, which has yet to release a smart ring. There’s been a desire for a Pixel Ring, but it seems more plausible as a Fitbit-branded product, as envisioned above by Gemini.
On the same day as Garmin’s filing, Google hosted a major event featuring Steph Curry, the company’s Performance Advisor who introduced the Fitbit Air. However, no new Fitbit products were announced.
