Usually, Firestick sets the correct time automatically when it is connected to the internet. However, at times, your Firestick will display at the wrong time. You can correct this by changing the time zone on your Firestick. Before changing it, you need to remember that you cannot change the time accurately. The Firestick allows the users to change only the time zone according to their region.
