The problem with the aforementioned solutions is  that if hour  minute or second  has only one digit  i e  0-9   the time would be wrong  e g  it could be 2 3 9  but it should rather be 02 03 09   According to this page it seems to be a better solution to use Date s  toLocaleTimeString  method

The answer given by  Aron works  but it didn t work for me as I was trying to convert timestamp starting from 1980  So I made few changes as follows   x000D   x000D  function ConvertUnixTimeToDateForLeap UNIX Timestamp    x000D      var dateObj   new Date 1980  0  1  0  0  0  0   x000D      dateObj setSeconds dateObj getSeconds     UNIX Timestamp   x000D      return dateObj    x000D    x000D   x000D  document body innerHTML    TimeStamp       ConvertUnixTimeToDateForLeap 1269700200   x000D   x000D   x000D    So if you have a timestamp starting from another decade or so  just use this  It saved a lot of headache for me

Pay attention to the zero problem with some of the answers  For example  the timestamp 1439329773 would be mistakenly converted to 12 08 2015 0 49   I would suggest on using the following to overcome this issue   var timestamp   1439329773     replace your timestamp var date   new Date timestamp   1000   var formattedDate     0    date getDate    slice -2            0     date getMonth     1   slice -2          date getFullYear             0    date getHours    slice -2            0    date getMinutes    slice -2   console log formattedDate     Now results in   12 08 2015 00 49
