UMEOX iQIBLA Smart Zikr Ring Noor Pink 18MM (Zikr Ring Noor) Review

Introduction

The UMEOX iQIBLA Smart Zikr Ring Noor Pink 18MM (Zikr Ring Noor), a lightweight smart ring boasting a plethora of features, arrived on my desk recently. Promising prayer time reminders, a built-in tasbih counter, and surprisingly, even basic health tracking, this ring immediately piqued my interest. Over the past few weeks, I’ve worn it daily to assess its functionality, comfort, and overall practicality. This review details my experience.

Features

The Zikr Ring Noor stands out with its combination of religious functionality and health-tracking capabilities. The key features include:

• Five prayer time reminders – A crucial feature for many users.
• Precise tasbih counter that tracks up to 9999 counts.
• A 0.69-inch large screen, easily readable even in sunlight (at least, relatively so).
• Integration with the iQIBLA Social Life App, allowing for data syncing, point redemption, and access to sleep, heart rate, and step tracking.
• A remarkably light design at 7.2 grams, ensuring comfortable all-day wear.

Performance

The ring’s performance is largely positive. The prayer time reminders are accurate and unobtrusive. The tasbih counter is incredibly useful, and the large screen is a significant advantage, especially when compared to some smaller smart rings on the market. The iQIBLA app is functional, though I found the user interface a bit clunky at times. The heart rate and sleep tracking are rudimentary compared to dedicated wearables, but sufficient for basic monitoring. Battery life, as advertised, is approximately a week on a single charge. The screen brightness is a definite plus, remaining visible even in bright daylight conditions, though it’s not perfect.

However, the plastic material feels a bit cheap, and I experienced some minor connectivity issues with the app on a few occasions. These weren’t consistent, however, and usually resolved themselves after a simple re-sync.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Lightweight design, accurate prayer time reminders, effective tasbih counter, large and bright screen, decent battery life, integrated health tracking.
• Cons: Plastic material feels cheap, occasional connectivity issues with the app, basic health tracking accuracy.

Final Verdict

The UMEOX iQIBLA Smart Zikr Ring Noor 18MM offers a unique blend of religious and health features. While the plastic build and occasional app glitches are minor drawbacks, the ring’s functionality, particularly its accurate prayer reminders and dependable tasbih counter, more than makes up for these shortcomings. For those seeking a convenient and lightweight tool to assist with daily prayers and basic health monitoring, this ring is a strong contender. I recommend it, especially considering its affordable price point.
