The clock really ressembles a Xiaomi Smart Band, but it isn't one.

Seems to be it.

Indeed. It should be either date or timer!
Unless, it's something more complex as temperature, humidity, or radio setup even!

another photo in 24 hours and if it's 5/16, we know what it is

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Totally. Just a little bit bigger than a quarter.

My guess would be month and day.

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah, seems to be it.

Others said month and day and I'm inclined to agree. I'm curious how it works out leap year without a year visible, though

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

I would test this and tell you on a leap year, but I'll probably forget about this and Lemmy doesn't have a equivalent to Reddit's RemindMe bot.

Its month and date, and set wrong.
