When a brand, distributor, corporate buyer, or cross-border e-commerce seller wants to develop a custom smartwatch, they soon discover that the entire process—from concept to mass production—is far more complex than expected.

To make this clear and practical, this article uses a Muslim Smartwatch as a complete real-world example to demonstrate every step of a true OEM/ODM project.

1. Why the Muslim Smartwatch Is a Perfect ODM Case?


The Muslim market has 1.9 billion global users, yet only few manufacturers can provide a smartwatch that integrates:

  • Accurate Quran content
  • Islamic prayer features
  • Religious UI
  • Multi-language support
  • A synchronized mobile app

This product represents a typical “industry-specific deep customization smartwatch”, which best showcases engineering capability.

Islamic religious features

  • Built-in Quran player (114 Surahs)
  • Prayer time reminders
  • Qibla compass
  • 99 Names of Allah
  • Hijri calendar and festival reminders
  • Tasbih counter (digital dhikr)

Smartwatch features

  • Bluetooth calling
  • Voice control
  • Heart rate / blood oxygen / sleep monitoring
  • Step count, calories, mileage
  • Women’s health tracking
  • Weather, music control
  • Notifications (WhatsApp, SMS, Facebook, etc.)
  • Custom watch faces

APP: iMuslim Pro

Core hardware

  • Chipset: JL7012F6
