CIRQA price appears in Garmin’s own backend

Garmin’s own pricing system appears to have revealed the intended price of its upcoming CIRQA smart band. The backend currently lists the device at $199.99 in the US, €199 in Europe and £179 in the UK, far below the roughly $500 figure reported earlier this year.

How Garmin’s backend revealed the price

The method originally appeared in a Redt post. The person used a publicly accessible Garmin pricing endpoint that returns regional pricing when supplied with a valid product part number.

I have tested it myself and it works. The important detail is that the CIRQA part number, 010-04675-00, was not invented by the Reddit user or extracted from an unofficial retailer page.

That exact number appeared when Garmin prematurely published its CIRQA Smart Band listing in January. The page identified the device as the CIRQA Smart Band, with S/M and L/XL sizes plus black and French gray colour options. 

Entering that CIRQA part number into Garmin’s pricing system returns a US list price of $199.99. The response also repeats the correct 010-04675-00 part number. The endpoint does not display the name CIRQA, but that appears to be normal.

Testing the endpoint with an existing Garmin watch

To check whether the method was reliable, I repeated the test using the Garmin fēnix E. Its official part number is 010-03025-03, while Garmin’s retail website lists the watch at $799.99. Entering the same part number into the pricing endpoint returned that exact same price. So it works.

Other valid Garmin part numbers also returned the prices shown on Garmin’s normal retail pages. A made-up part number did not produce product pricing, so the endpoint does not appear to assign a generic figure to anything formatted like a Garmin SKU. That makes the CIRQA result pretty convincing.

Garmin CIRQA regional prices

The US version of the backend lists CIRQA at $199.99. Changing the country portion of the request also reveals prices of C$279.99 in Canada and MX$4,099 in Mexico.

I tested the European and UK versions as well. The EU price is €199, while the UK price comes in at £179.

Here’s a full list (all European entries carry a non-empty appliedPromotionGuids; US/CA/MX do not):

These are not converted estimates. They are local prices returned directly by Garmin’s regional pricing system for the CIRQA part number.

Garmin has not formally announced CIRQA or confirmed its launch price. Backend information can also change before a product reaches stores, so these figures should still be described as Garmin’s current intended prices rather than final retail confirmation.

Even with that caveat, this is the strongest pricing evidence we have seen on the likely price-tag. It comes from Garmin’s own infrastructure.

The earlier price rumour never looked right

There has been a sea of unsubstantiated rumours about CIRQA in recent months. Among them were reports suggesting it could cost between $450 and $510. Those claims stemmed from a questionable Ukrainian retailer listing. The pricing never looked credible, yet several publications repeated it anyway.

Garmin’s own backend now makes that earlier figure difficult to defend. The likely explanation is that CIRQA will launch as a roughly $200 wearable. This means the device would sit below the company’s mainstream GPS watches while offering another way to collect data.

There are still unanswered questions. The pricing response does not reveal the feature set, battery life or whether Garmin Connect+ will play any meaningful role.

However, the wider evidence continues to build. Garmin has exposed the CIRQA product page and added screenless-device support to Garmin Connect APK. The expanding CIRQA trademark trail also suggests the project remains active rather than representing an abandoned prototype. 

Garmin can still change the price before launch. For now, though, its own systems point consistently to $199.99 in the US, €199 in Europe and £179 in the UK, which feels far more credible than the earlier retailer rumour.
