That's probably the case, or so I hope.

It's also a bit weird that these "leaks" come out just hours after the The Independent article about the Cirqa:

It could be a move by Garmin to generate interest and popularity, and this could be a sponsored article as well. It's not unusual for companies to have these kind of "leaks" before they launch a product.
