Qalo SL-1 and Garmin Cirqa minimalist trackers compared in hands-on review
Both the Qalo SL-1 and Garmin Cirqa wearables track heart rate, blood oxygen, skin temperature, HRV, stress, sleep stages and menstrual cycles without built-in GPS. The Cirqa offers more activity profiles and reliable automatic workout detection, while testers found the SL-1 failed to auto-detect activities despite Qalo's claims, though its battery lasted a week at 59 percent with no subscription fee.
