Garmin’s Fitbit Air rival is having major issues with one of its most popular features
You may want to avoid updating your CIRQA band for now.
Garmin's latest software update, CIRQA, has been plagued with issues affecting its Bluetooth heart rate broadcasting feature. Users are complaining about the feature dropping or failing altogether. Garmin representatives have acknowledged the problem and are actively working on a fix. The CIRQA, a fitness tracker, has had a contentious launch since its July debut.
Initially, Garmin made a feature subscription-based, which drew significant criticism. The company swiftly reversed its decision, making the feature free to access. However, the latest update appears to have now hindered a popular aspect of the device. Reports from Gadgets and Wearables indicate a surge in CIRQA users facing problems with Bluetooth connections.
These issues began following the August 20 firmware update, version 2.50. While ANT+ remains functional, Bluetooth broadcasting seems to be the culprit.
