The UMEOX iQIBLA Smart Zikr Ring Lite (model number INEXT001227) promises a lot: a tiny, functional smart ring with prayer reminders, a tasbeeh counter, and a surprisingly long-lasting battery. After wearing it for several weeks, I’m ready to share my experience. This review covers its functionality, battery life, ease of use, and overall value.

Features

The Zikr Ring Lite boasts a compact design (it truly is remarkably small!), a vibrant OLED display, and Bluetooth connectivity for syncing with your smartphone and smartwatch. The prayer time reminders are a standout feature, delivering subtle vibrations at the designated times. The tasbeeh counter is intuitive and easily accessible, making it a convenient tool for daily use. The built-in battery, while small (40mAh), managed to impress me.

Setting up the ring was straightforward; the app is relatively easy to navigate, and the connection process with my Android phone was quick and painless. The OLED display is a pleasant surprise, providing clear visibility even in varying light conditions. While the screen is small, it displays the necessary information effectively. The ring itself is comfortable to wear; I barely noticed it was there, except for those gentle vibrations reminding me of prayer times.

Performance

Battery life exceeded my expectations. The manufacturer claims 5 days of normal use, and I consistently got around 4 days with moderate use, including frequent checks of the time and tasbeeh counter functionality. Charging is done via a small USB cable, a process that takes about an hour and a half.

The accuracy of the prayer time reminders is reliable, matching the settings I configured within the app. The tasbeeh counter is incredibly helpful for those who use it regularly. The connectivity to my phone was stable throughout my testing period, with no noticeable dropouts or connection issues. The notification system is discreet, avoiding the constant buzzing and beeping of larger smartwatches.

However, the touch sensitivity of the screen wasn’t always perfect. Occasionally, I had to tap multiple times to register a command. Also, customization options are limited. There’s no option to change the display theme or customize the notification sounds.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Small and comfortable design, long battery life, accurate prayer time reminders, intuitive tasbeeh counter, easy setup, bright OLED display.
• Cons: Occasional touch sensitivity issues, limited customization options, small screen size (though this is expected given the overall size).

Final Verdict

Overall, the UMEOX iQIBLA Smart Zikr Ring Lite (INEXT001227) is a solid addition to the smart wearable market. Despite a few minor drawbacks, its compact design, user-friendly features, and dependable performance make it a great option for those seeking a discreet and convenient way to track their daily prayers and tasbeeh. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a functional and unobtrusive smart ring. The long battery life is a significant plus, and the prayer time reminders are remarkably accurate and helpful.
