How does it work?
CIRQA Smart Band can track activities either automatically or manually depending on your preference.
Whether you’re starting a run or weightlifting at the gym, the smart band will automatically detect and begin tracking your activity. Afterward, you can view or edit recorded activities in Garmin Connect. This helps the device adjust its tracking capabilities and become accustomed to frequently performed activities.
If you prefer, you can manually track your activities directly from the device or in Garmin Connect. Customize the activity tracking button on the side of the band so you can easily track frequently recorded activities. For example, if you lace up for a run multiple times a week, customize the button to record runs when you press it. When tracking activities in Garmin Connect, simply select the device and activity type to record and get started.
Your quiet, distraction-free companion is ready for 24/7 tracking and monitoring. In just a few clicks, CIRQA Smart Band could be your new favorite addition.
