How to change Xiaomi Amazfit Watch to English guide

Amazfit Pace and Amazfit Watch change to English

For Xiaomi Amazfit, a change to English from Chinese has been frustrating for some users. While Xiaomi Amazfit Watch aka Huami Amazfit Pace has recently been announced for official release in the United States, there is still no word of an official Amazfit English ROM.

The Amazfit app has a fully English interface, but things are lagging behind when it comes to getting the Amazfit Watch changed to English.

There is a solution

Thankfully, there is a relatively easy way to get your Amazfit Pace switched to English from Chinese. Follow the simple guide below and you’ll be done in less than 5 minutes, with the majority of text on your watch in English, including the menus.

NOTE: Before following this guide, unpair all Bluetooth devices from your Amazfit Watch Amazfit Pace. To fix Amazfit “unfortunately launcher has stopped” error, simply unpair all devices.

What you need

• adb drivers and command set — This is what allows your PC to communicate with the Amazfit watch to get it into English mode
• a USB cable– Needed to connect your Amazfit Pace to your PC
• an Amazfit Watch / Amazfit Pace
• the base connector for the watch (the part which attaches to the watch for charging)
