The Garmin CIRQA may have just launched, but buying one in the US already requires a little patience. Most color options come with a wait of up to eight weeks, meaning an order placed today could still be in Garmin’s warehouse when September rolls around. Black, obviously, gets to cross part of the line.
Things aren’t much better elsewhere. Buyers in the UK and several European countries are also seeing multi-week estimates, although a few lucky color combinations and sizes can still be shipped within days.
CIRQA may not have a screen, but Garmin has found another way to keep people checking for updates!
US orders could come in well into September
Garmin’s US store currently lists an estimated shipping time of five to eight weeks for most CIRQA colors. Based on an order placed on July 27, which indicates it will ship between August 31 and September 21.
That’s the point where the band will leave Garmin, rather than arrive at the consumer’s door. Depending on the shipping method, the actual delivery date may be a few days later.
Black is a notable exception. Garmin is currently giving that version a short estimate of 3 to 5 weeks, placing its shipping window between August 17 and August 31.
For buyers who are flexible about color, that can remove about three weeks from the wait. It is worth clicking through all the colors and sizes before ordering rather than assuming that all CIRQA settings have the same availability.
The table provides a summary of the main regional differences.

UK consumers have a quick choice
The situation in the UK is better, although most CIRQA colors still show a wait of around 3 to 5 weeks. That would put shipping somewhere between August and the end of August for the order placed today.
Some Mauve configurations are available for 1 to 3 business day shipping. It is the same as the French Gray option. That makes the UK one of the few markets where shoppers can get CIRQA without joining a long queue.

Watch on Garmin
Other European countries show a broadly similar pattern. Most versions have estimates of about 3 to 5 weeks, except for the long 5 to 8 week delay that plagues the US range.
It’s too early to call CIRQA a sell-out
Long estimates suggest that Garmin’s initial CIRQA stock is limited, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a success. Garmin may have played it safe with the first batch, especially since this is still a relatively new product for the company.
CIRQA costs $199.99 in the US and includes screen-free health tracking and up to ten days of battery life. The real draw is how well it fits into Garmin Connect and works alongside Garmin watches and cycling computers. It costs twice as much as the Fitbit Air, but it also offers serious training tools and makes sense for people who already use Garmin gear, as we noted in our comparison piece.
All things considered – CIRQA looks like a decent piece of kit. The problem right now is getting hold of one.
