This guide will walk you through the process of how to adjust time on Amazfit Bip watch, ensuring your watch is always displaying the correct time.

Understanding the Basics: Time Zones and Automatic Updates

Before diving into the steps, let’s understand the basics. Your Amazfit Bip can automatically sync with your phone’s time and time zone. This means that if your phone’s time is correct, your Bip should automatically update accordingly. However, there might be instances where the automatic update fails, or you need to manually adjust the time for specific reasons.

Method 1: Adjusting Time Through the Amazfit App

The most convenient way to adjust the time on your Amazfit Bip is through the Amazfit app on your smartphone. This method ensures that your watch’s time stays synchronized with your phone.
1. Open the Amazfit App: Launch the Amazfit app on your smartphone and ensure it’s connected to your Bip.
2. Navigate to Device Settings: Tap on the device icon representing your Amazfit Bip. This will take you to the device settings page.
3. Locate Time Settings: Scroll through the settings menu until you find the “Time” or “Clock” option.
4. Enable Automatic Time Update: Check if the “Automatic Time Update” option is enabled. If it’s not, toggle the switch to enable it. Your watch should automatically sync with your phone’s time.
5. Manually Adjust Time (If Needed): If the automatic update doesn‘t work, you can manually adjust the time. Look for options to set the time, date, and time zone.
6. Confirm Changes: Once you’ve made the necessary adjustments, tap on the “Save” or “Confirm” button to apply the changes.

Method 2: Adjusting Time Directly on the Watch

While the Amazfit app provides a convenient method, you can also adjust the time directly on the watch itself. This method is useful when you don’t have your phone handy.

What to Do When Time Doesn’t Sync

Sometimes, the automatic time update may not work as expected. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

  • Check Phone Time: Ensure your phone’s time is correct. If your phone’s time is inaccurate, your Bip won’t be able to sync properly.
  • Restart Your Watch: Restarting your Amazfit Bip can sometimes resolve connectivity issues.
  • Re-Connect Your Watch: Disconnect and re-connect your watch from the Amazfit app. This can re-establish the connection and enable time synchronization.
  • Update the Amazfit App: An outdated app version might be causing issues. Make sure you’re running the latest version of the app.
  • Check for Software Updates: Ensure your watch is running the latest software. Software updates often address bug fixes and improve functionality.
