Muslim-focused smart wearables are taking a more visible place alongside mainstream consumer tech as iQIBLA unveiled its third-generation device lineup at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. With more than 3.5 million devices shipped globally, the company showcased how connected wearables are increasingly being designed around cultural context, daily religious practice, and demanding real-world environments.

Founded in 2021, iQIBLA pioneered the Smart Zikr Ring category and has seen strong adoption across GCC markets such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait, alongside growing usage in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Its presence at CES highlights the expanding role of faith-centered technology within the broader global wearables market.

Among the devices on display is the Zikr Ring J03, iQIBLA’s third-generation smart ring and the first to integrate Qibla direction into a ring-based wearable. Built for discreet, continuous use, the ring supports nine dhikr channels, touch controls, text display, prayer time reminders, and daily activity tracking, allowing it to be worn seamlessly during prayer and everyday activities.

Also featured is the Qwatch S6, a third-generation Bluetooth smartwatch equipped with medical-grade sensors for monitoring heart rate, blood oxygen levels, sleep quality, physical activity, and sedentary behavior. Alongside health tracking, the device includes Qur’an access, prayer time reminders, Qibla direction, a tasbih counter, multiple dhikr channels, and a Hijri calendar.

Rounding out the lineup is the Hajj Band, designed specifically for high-exertion and high-density environments such as Hajj and Umrah. The wearable continuously gathers vital-sign data, uploads health information in real time, and issues alerts as physical strain increases, supporting users during prolonged walking, heat exposure, and crowded conditions.

“From the beginning, our focus has been on building technology that fits naturally into daily life,” said the founder of iQIBLA. “Many of our real-world use cases come directly from the Middle East. CES gives us a platform to show how these products sit naturally alongside the wider global consumer technology industry.”

iQIBLA currently sells its products across multiple international markets and continues to expand its connected device portfolio, with a focus on practical design that supports daily religious practice and personal wellbeing.
