Garmin looks set to shake up the wearables market in 2026, and a fresh trademark discovery is adding more fuel to the rumors. A device called Garmin CIRQA has surfaced again—this time through a newly spotted filing at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The application, filed in February 2026 under serial number 99670310, strengthens the idea that Garmin is preparing at least one major new product line, with two more wearable launches also rumored for the year.
The trademark filing doesn’t just confirm the name “CIRQA.” It also offers a clear clue about what Garmin is building. The product is described as a wearable designed for measuring and analyzing physical parameters and physiological data, including bio-signals and bodily behavior. The description also points to features that go beyond basic fitness tracking, focusing on recovery from physical and emotional stress, alertness levels, and overall performance.
That language will immediately catch the attention of people who care about recovery metrics and readiness-style scoring, especially those who use wearables to manage training load and daily strain. Earlier rumors from a January 2026 product listing leak suggested CIRQA would be a wrist-worn device, and many Garmin fans expect it to compete directly with popular subscription-based fitness bands. Garmin still hasn’t confirmed CIRQA’s release date, but online chatter has recently suggested a possible launch window around May or June 2026.
CIRQA may not be the only Garmin wearable arriving in 2026. Another product widely expected this year is the Garmin Fenix 9, which would serve as the next evolution in the company’s high-end outdoor smartwatch lineup. While Garmin hasn’t officially named the Fenix 9, CEO Clifton Pemble recently hinted during an investor call that the company expects stronger performance in the second half of the year due to the timing of product launches. He also mentioned that Garmin has “a very active year plan for outdoor,” a comment many interpret as a signal that a new Fenix-generation release is on the schedule.
If Garmin follows its typical release rhythm for the Fenix series, a late-summer to early-fall launch window appears most likely, with August, September, or October 2026 looking like the prime candidates.
The third rumored Garmin wearable is potentially the most intriguing—and the most uncertain. It relates to a newly uncovered trademark associated with a Garmin “Muscle Battery” feature. The wording surrounding the filing suggests it may require dedicated hardware, hinting at an upcoming Garmin device that includes a muscle oxygen saturation sensor. That kind of sensor could open new doors for strength training metrics, muscular fatigue tracking, and deeper performance insights beyond cardio-focused stats.
However, this trademark is still pending, which makes it the least certain of the three potential 2026 launches. If it does arrive, it would likely be later in the year—assuming the concept moves forward and Garmin is ready to debut the necessary hardware.
For now, the CIRQA trademark is the strongest indicator that Garmin is preparing something new, and the detailed wording around stress recovery, alertness, and performance points to a serious push into advanced wellness and readiness tracking. With the possibility of a next-gen Fenix and a new muscle-sensing wearable also in the mix, 2026 is shaping up to be one of Garmin’s busiest years for wearable innovation.
