Garmin CIRQA Smart Ring: 10 Model Variants Certified in Brazil as Launch Approaches

The Garmin CIRQA Smart Ring just took another significant step toward launch. Brazil's ANATEL certification agency approved 10 closely related Garmin model numbers in a single filing dated September 6, 2026 — the strongest public evidence that this product is real and nearing release.

What We Know

• 10 model variants: The filing suggests multiple sizes (likely 6–13), consistent with how Oura and Samsung offer their rings
• Manufactured in Taiwan: Categorized as a fitness product
• Expected price: $199–$249, positioning between the $299 RingConn Gen 2 and premium $349 Oura Ring Gen 4
• Expected launch: October–November 2026, or CES 2027 at the latest

Why Garmin Matters

If Garmin enters the smart ring market, it would bring decades of fitness tracking expertise and an established Garmin Connect ecosystem with millions of users. Current smart ring buyers must choose between Oura's health focus, Samsung's phone integration, or smaller brands like RingConn and Ultrahuman. A Garmin ring would be the first from a major GPS/fitness brand.

Should You Wait?

If you're a Garmin user already invested in Garmin Connect, waiting 1–3 months is reasonable. If you need a smart ring now, the Oura Ring Gen 4 ($349) remains the gold standard, or the RingConn Gen 2 ($299) for a subscription-free option. Browse all options in our smart ring hub.
