The integration of wearable electronics into the Android device ecosystem is often a question for users, especially when it comes to budget but functional models such as the D06 Smart Watch. These gadgets offer a wide range of features, from health monitoring to notifications, but their initial setup with Xiaomi phones requires a certain sequence of actions.
Owners of Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO smartphones face aggressive optimization of the MIUI battery, which by default limits the background operation of applications. That is why the standard procedure for connecting through the Bluetooth system menu is often not enough.
In this guide, we will discuss in detail the process of installing, configuring access rights and optimizing the system for stable operation of the watch and smartphone bundle, you will learn how to avoid typical errors and ensure smooth transmission of data about pulse, steps and incoming calls.
Preparation for pairing: compatibility check and charge
Before you start the active setup phase, make sure your device meets the minimum requirements.The D06 model usually runs on Android operating systems version 5.0 and higher or iOS 9.0+, making them compatible with the vast majority of modern Xiaomi smartphones.However, if your phone is too old, functionality may be limited.
The critical point is the battery level of the watch itself: if the device has been in stock for a long time, its battery could run out of power. Trying to turn on or connect a fully discharged gadget may not work or lead to a cyclical reboot.
- 🔋 Make sure the clock charge is at least 50-60% before setting up.
- 📱 Check out the Android version on your Xiaomi phone in the Settings section → The phone.
- 📡 Enable Bluetooth and geolocation modules (GPS) On a smartphone is a mandatory requirement to find a device.
💡
Put your watch closer to your phone (less than 1 meter away) during your initial search to rule out Bluetooth range issues.
Finding and installing the right application
The D06 smartwatch doesn't work autonomously without a bundle with a smartphone through a special application. Unlike proprietary ecosystems, it uses universal software. Most often, this model requires a FitPro application, but depending on the batch and firmware, sometimes you can use WearPro or WearFit Pro.
Download the application should only be from the official stores of Google Play Market or App Store. APK-Files from questionable resources can lead to the installation of malware or an unstable version of the program that will not be able to correctly recognize your watch model.
After installing the app, take your time to open it right away. First, register your account using an email or phone number, which will save your activity history in the cloud and recover data when you change your device.

Connection process through the application
The main mistake users make is to try pairing through the standard Bluetooth menu of a smartphone. For the D06 watch, this method is not suitable for full operation. If you have already hidden the device in the phone settings, be sure to follow the action Forget the device or Unpair the pairing before setting up through the application.
The algorithm should be rigorous: launch the installed application, register and log in to your personal account. In the main menu, find the device add button, which is usually indicated by the plus icon or the inscription “Device” / “Device”.
In the list of available devices, select a model D06 or ID-The connection process can take anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds, at which point a request for confirmation of pairing may appear on the watch screen — accept it.

Configure MIUI Permits for Stable Operation
Xiaomi’s MIUI shell is known for its strict energy saving policies, which often kill the background processes of smartwatch applications, causing notifications to stop coming and health data to be out of sync, and to avoid this, you need to manually configure access rights.
Go to Settings → Apps → All apps, find your watch app (like FitPro). Under Permissions, give access to all the requested items, especially geolocation, contacts and phone. Without this notification, messengers and calls will not come.
Next, remove the application from the battery optimization list. Go to the Battery section in the application settings and select No Limits mode. It is also recommended to enable auto-start so that the application is activated with the system.
⚠️ Warning: If you don’t set up auto-start and no battery limitations, Xiaomi’s system will force you to close the app to save energy, and communicate with the clock. D06 burst.
| Setup parameter | Recommended value | Location on the menu |
|---|---|---|
| Auto-start | Included. | Settings → Applications → Permissions |
| Energy saving regime | No restrictions. | Settings → Battery → Control |
| Locking in memory | Lock down | Open Apps menu → The Castle |
💡
Without setting exceptions in MIUI, smartwatches will run unstable, regardless of whether the rest of the instructions are executed correctly.
Data synchronization and personalization
Once successfully connected, you can access a wide range of settings, and first of all, you should set the exact time and date, although they are usually automatically pulled up from your smartphone. Check the pedometer operation after a few meters, the data should be displayed in the application.
In the profile section, adjust your physical parameters: height, weight, age and gender. These data are used by algorithms to more accurately calculate calorie expenditure and analyze sleep quality. Wrong data will lead to incorrect statistics.
You can also set up dials in the app. The D06 supports loading additional screen designs. Choose your favorite style and click "Install", wait until the Bluetooth data transfer process is over.
- ⌚ Adjust the brightness of the screen and its glow time to save charge.
- 📳 Activate vibration and select intensity for alarms and notifications.
- 🌐 Choose the interface language if multilingual support is available in your firmware version.
Solving typical problems and malfunctions
Even if you follow all the instructions, you can have technical difficulties. If a Xiaomi phone can't see the D06 watch, try restarting both devices. Often the problem lies in the temporary failure of the smartphone's Bluetooth module.
If the app finds the device but can't pair, check if the watch is connected to another phone. D06 can store the last paired device in memory and try to dodge it by igniting the new request. Reset the clock to factory settings via the device menu or app.
If you have a permanent connection break, make sure your phone doesn’t have Flight or power saving mode that shuts down Bluetooth, and check if you have broken versions of Bluetooth drivers, which sometimes happens after custom firmware.
⚠️ Note: When you reset your watch settings, all the accumulated statistics on the device will be deleted. Make sure that the data is synced with the application cloud before this procedure.
