Changing the watch face on your XIAOMI Mi Band 4 is a simple way to personalize the look of your device and make the screen display match your style or daily needs. You can choose a different watch face directly from the band itself or by using the Mi Fit app on a compatible Android phone. Both methods are easy to follow and allow you to update the appearance of the band in just a few steps.
The watch face controls what you see on the main screen of the band, such as the time, date, step count, and other visual elements. By selecting a different display design, you can make the screen look more modern, sporty, minimal, or information-rich depending on your preference. The instructions below explain both available methods in a clear and detailed way.
Change XIAOMI Mi Band 4 Face Directly on the Band
This first method allows you to change the watch face directly from the XIAOMI Mi Band 4 without opening the mobile app. It is useful if you want to switch quickly between available watch faces already stored on the device.
- Wake up the screen on your Mi Band 4.
First, tap on the bottom of the screen to wake up the device. This activates the display and allows you to begin navigating through the band’s menu options. Make sure the band has enough battery power and the screen responds normally before continuing.
- Open the More menu.
Once the screen is on, swipe upwards on the display until you see the option labeled “More”. Tap this option to enter additional settings and features available on the band. This section contains several extra functions that are not shown on the main screen.
- Find and open Band display.
Inside the More menu, scroll down through the list of available options until you find Band display. Tap on it to open the section where you can browse the watch faces currently available on the device. This menu is specifically used for changing the appearance of the main clock screen.
- Select the watch face you want to use.
You can now browse through the available watch face designs and choose the one you like best. Take a moment to preview the styles and pick the layout that best suits your taste and display preference. - Apply the selected watch face.
After choosing your preferred option, the band will switch to the selected watch face. You can return to the main screen and confirm that the new design has been successfully applied. - Great work.
You have successfully changed the watch face directly on your XIAOMI Mi Band 4.
Second Method: Change the Watch Face Using the Mi Fit App
This second method gives you another convenient way to change the watch face by using the Mi Fit app on an Android device. This option is often more flexible because it allows you to browse and select watch faces through the phone interface, then sync the selected design to the band.
- Make sure the band is paired with your Android phone.
In order for this method to work, you need an Android device with the Mi Fit app installed, and your XIAOMI Mi Band 4 must already be paired with that phone. Without pairing, the app will not be able to communicate with the band or send the selected watch face to the device. - Open the Mi Fit app.
Unlock your Android phone and launch the Mi Fit app. Wait for the app to load completely and make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone so the app can stay connected to the band during the setup and sync process.
- Go to the Profile section.
Inside the app, tap on the Profile icon located at the bottom of the screen. This section shows your connected devices, account-related settings, and options for managing your Mi Band.
- Select your XIAOMI Mi Band 4 from the device list.
In the Profile section, locate your XIAOMI Mi Band 4 in the list of connected devices and tap on it. This will open the device-specific settings and customization options for your band.
- Open Band display settings.
Next, tap on Band display settings. This menu allows you to manage the watch face appearance and choose the design that will be shown on the band’s main screen.
- Choose your preferred watch face.
You will now see a list of available watch faces. Browse through the options and tap on the design you want to use. This step lets you preview and select the display style that best fits your preferences.
- Sync the selected watch face to the band.
Finally, tap on Sync now to confirm your selection and send the new watch face to the Mi Band 4. Keep the phone close to the band and make sure Bluetooth remains enabled while the synchronization is in progress. Once the sync is complete, the new watch face should appear on the band automatically.
- Great job.
Your XIAOMI Mi Band 4 should now display the new watch face you selected through the Mi Fit app.
Additional Tips
When changing the watch face through the Mi Fit app, always make sure that your band is connected properly and remains within Bluetooth range of your phone. If the sync does not complete, try turning Bluetooth off and on again, reopening the app, or moving the phone closer to the band.
If you are changing the watch face directly on the band, remember that only the watch faces already stored on the device will be available there. The mobile app may provide more options and make it easier to browse different styles before applying them.
Changing the watch face does not affect your fitness data, pairing status, or saved settings. It only changes the visual design of the main display screen, allowing you to personalize the appearance of your Mi Band 4 while keeping all other features working normally.
By following either of the methods above, you can quickly customize your XIAOMI Mi Band 4 and give it a display style that better matches your daily use, preferences, and personal taste.
