The UMEOX Zikr Ring Lite (Model Number: Zikr Ring Lite) promises a lot for such a small package: prayer time reminders, a built-in tasbih counter, and connectivity to the iQIBLA app. But does this tiny smart ring deliver on its ambitious claims? After several weeks of testing, I’m ready to share my findings.

The Zikr Ring Lite is incredibly compact, making it unobtrusive to wear throughout the day. Its OLED display is surprisingly crisp and easily readable, even in bright sunlight (though it’s small, so don’t expect to see novels on it). The 5 prayer time reminders are accurate and customizable, and the vibration alerts are strong enough to be felt even through clothing. The tasbih counter is a great addition for those who regularly use it. Pairing with the iQIBLA app was straightforward, giving access to additional features like sleep tracking, step counting, and a heart rate monitor. While these aren’t as precise as dedicated fitness trackers, they’re useful additions for such a small device. The iQIBLA app also includes a points redemption system, which is a surprising bonus.

The battery life lived up to its claims. I easily got 5 days of use on a single charge, with moderate use of the features. Charging is a bit fiddly due to the small charging pin, but it’s manageable. The ring’s responsiveness is good; there’s minimal lag when navigating the interface. The heart rate sensor isn’t as accurate as my dedicated fitness watch, but it’s within a reasonable range for general tracking. The sleep tracking is also quite basic, but it gives a general idea of sleep patterns.

The shock-resistant hard screen is a welcome feature, providing peace of mind knowing it can handle everyday bumps and scrapes. However, I did find that the display is prone to smudges, requiring frequent cleaning.

Pros:

• Incredibly small and comfortable to wear
• Accurate prayer time reminders
• Easy-to-use tasbih counter
• Long battery life (5 days)
• Crisp OLED display
• Useful features in the iQIBLA app
• Shock-resistant screen

Cons:

• Small charging pin can be difficult to use
• Display is prone to smudges
• Heart rate and sleep tracking are basic
• App integration could be improved

Overall, the UMEOX Zikr Ring Lite is a surprisingly capable smart ring. Its compact size, useful features, and long battery life make it a compelling option for those looking for a discreet way to track prayer times and dhikr. While the app integration could use some refinement and the basic health tracking isn’t a replacement for dedicated fitness trackers, the ring’s core functionalities are executed well. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a convenient and stylish addition to their daily routine. The Zikr Ring Lite is an innovative product with a lot of potential, and I look forward to seeing future iterations.
