Mi Band 6: Date and time (format) firmly bound to the smartphone
In fact, with the Xiaomi fitness tracker, the time and date displayed on the device depend on the smartphone. This means that the Mi Band 6 shows exactly the same time and date as your cell phone.
Ergo, you have to change the time or date on the smartphone in order to be able to change it on the Mi Band 6. There is no option to set the time or date independently of the smartphone. The time format is also firmly tied to the smartphone.
Date format can still be changed
While the time, date and time format are linked to the smartphone and cannot be changed, you can at least change the date format by setting the language of the Mi Band 6 to English. In the following we will show you how to do this.
