The Fitness Bracelet, like a purebred smooth-haired dog, recognizes only one owner: it can connect to only one smartphone. At the same time, a smartphone can have several bracelets (remote trackers) under its control. For example, our editorial smartphone Samsung Galaxy A50 can easily be controlled with two bracelets at the same time: Galaxy Fit2 and Mi Smart Band 6 NFC .
It’s just that to control each bracelet on your Samsung smartphone, special applications from the manufacturers of these fitness trackers are installed:
- Galaxy Wearable (Samsung Gear) application – for the Samsung Galaxy Fit2 bracelet.
- Mi Fit application – for the Mi Smart Band 6 NFC bracelet.
Attaching Chinese fitness bracelets to your phone
After purchasing a Chinese device, the user will find a manual in the appropriate language in the packaging box. In some cases it may be in Russian, but very short. As a rule, it is difficult to understand anything about this.
You can set up your fitness band with or without your phone. Synchronization is carried out through a proprietary application. But there are also alternatives from other companies that you can use. The most popular are Amazfit Stratos and Amazfit Pace. The bracelet and its functions are controlled by short and long presses on the button located at the bottom of the display.
The band needs to be charged before it can be synced. In order to find and install the desired application, you can use the QR code found on the packaging box or on the gadget itself. The code is displayed on the bracelet screen. After scanning, the user will be redirected to the desired application page. There will also be a page with step-by-step instructions, which begins with choosing the language of communication.
Some apps require a Chinese phone number upon registration. In this case, you can try registering not from your smartphone, but on the website or by email.
After this, you can begin to directly configure the bracelet. However, it should be remembered that a large number of declared functions significantly increases the load on the power supply. As a result, the battery will drain faster. A full charge will take on average 2 hours.
A sports watch is connected to a phone using the same method as a fitness bracelet.

other methods
There are 2 main options for solving the problem described above, but there are 3 more alternatives.
Untethering without a phone
Since Mi Bands are linked to an account in the Xiaomi branded service, you can unlink them from a lost phone or without a phone at all, just log in to Mi Fit. How to do it:
- Install the Mi Fit program on your Android or iOS smartphone.
- Please login.
- Go to the “Profile” tab, tap on the line with the name of the tracker.
- Scroll down the page and click on “Unlink”.
- In the warning window, agree to get rid of the attached gadget.
This method has a drawback when the attached Band is visible in the application, but you cannot untie it. In this case, try downloading earlier versions of the program from free access and, without updating them, unlink them.
If the entered login or password is not suitable, although the data is entered correctly:
- Visit i.mi.com.
- Click on “Login to Mi Account”.
- On the next page, select “Forgot your password?”.
- Now go through the access restoration process.
Recovery through the application often does not work correctly, so users are advised to use the official website.
Account deleting
In practice, this solution does not work, since the account is deleted only from the device, and not from the company server:
- Go to "Settings". Open the "Account" section.
- Select your Mi account from the list.
- Click on “Delete” at the bottom and confirm the action.
This approach should restore access to the account if there is a failure in its synchronization with the remote server.
Dangerous options
This includes 2 ways to disconnect the Mi Band 5 from the phone, and both can damage the device. Therefore, do not use them unless absolutely necessary, or it is better to seek help from specialists from the service center. First option:
- place the tracker capsule in the refrigerator;
- remove after 2 hours.
Effect - a critically low temperature leads to a complete discharge of the battery and the device rolls back to its factory state.
Second option:
- buy a lighter with a piezoelectric element;
- take it out and use it on the contacts of the bracelet, implemented for charging.
What will happen: a short-term supply of electricity will cause the device to reboot and/or reset the settings to the factory state.
