You will of course get a bigger display on the Mi Band 6 to fit in more information on single screens and to make the watch faces at your disposal look a little nicer. Now, we think this might be a combination of things. It may be that the Band didn't sit tight enough, despite using it on the tightest fit option available. There must be some software issues here too.
