The fifth generation of trackers has really cool functionality and stylish design. But some owners of Mi Bend 5 do not have enough of this to distinguish themselves from the crowd of other users. The developers took care of the opportunity to make each bracelet unique in its own way, allowing people to change the dials themselves. Therefore, today on the wrists of boys and girls there are watches with interesting images on the main screen, which show their individuality. In the article we will look at what the dials for Mi Band 5 are, how to change them and what options will be popular at all times.
What is a dial
Before answering the question of how to change the dial, it is worth understanding what it is. There's really nothing complicated here.
The watch face is the home screen splash screen. In fact, it is no different from the image on the display of a smartphone or tablet. There are also time, date and additional widgets.
The standard watch face of Mi Band 5 contains basic interface elements and a minimalist picture. Over time, users get tired of this view, which is why they begin to become interested in custom images. They make it possible to stand out from the crowd and, most importantly, give your tracker individuality. The fifth generation has a strong similarity with its predecessor, which is found on the wrists of many people today, so all owners want to indicate its novelty.
All in one
This dial will be useful for those users who monitor all indicators. In addition to the date and time, the dial contains an indication of steps taken, distance, battery charge and pulse. It is made of extremely high quality. The selected fonts are easy to read, which allows you to perceive information from the bracelet screen quickly and without confusion.
Where to download the watch face
You can find options for types of tracker main screen on third-party resources . The most common site is 4PDA. Here there are dials for Mi Band 5 in Russian and other languages. They differ in both the main image and the appearance of individual icons. If you wish, you can install the image from other sites. But no one gives a 100% guarantee of their reliability and safety for gadgets.
If there is no need for a custom watch face from unofficial sources, it is recommended to use Mi Fit offers . The assortment of pictures from the manufacturer contains quite a lot of options for every taste.
Pip-Boy Watchface
The very first watch face from our selection today will be a real find for fans of the Fallout game series. I am sure that many have probably dreamed of becoming the owner of that same wrist PDA known as the Pip-Boy. If you are already the proud owner of a brand new Mi Band, then I hasten to congratulate you - you can turn an elegant gadget into a brutal Pip-Boy in a couple of clicks and feel like one of the heroes of the famous gaming epic from Bethesda studio.
The dial, by the way, is quite informative - there is a place on it for the hour, date, month, day of the week, steps, pulse and distance traveled. In the middle there is an animated Vault Boy. Where would we be without him?
How to change the image
The updated design of the fitness bracelet requires a new approach to the design of its menu. The process of replacing the dial is not particularly complicated, but some users cannot do without instructions. That is why we present its step-by-step description.

There are both ready-made screensavers and a tab for downloading third-party files.
Before starting the procedure, you need to select the watch face you like for Mi Band 5 and download it from a third-party resource. Since the wallpaper will be installed via a smartphone, the file should be in its memory.

Creating your own background
Many users are interested in how to make a watch face for Mi Band 5 themselves. Unfortunately, today there is no opportunity to make a full-fledged screensaver. Since the tracker went on sale not so long ago, the developers did not have time to create decent applications for this purpose.
But you shouldn’t despair, because there is a way out even from this situation. Although it is impossible to create a watch face from scratch, the owner of the bracelet can replace the background through the official Mi Fit application.
The watch face designer for Mi Band 5 is located in the corresponding section of the utility. Here, in the “ Photo Watch Face ” section, the user is offered several design options for widgets, and he can choose the picture himself. You can find a suitable image in the smartphone gallery.
In this way, you can set both a regular image and a photo on the main screen.
Watch time in style
