When adding a Date Field to a database that stores revisions, the comparison shows the timestamp rather than a formatted date.

 

Here's an example:

Quote

Date

===

Revision
1691971200

Current
16919712057600

A revision showing the above doesn't help, especially if the user doesn't know that that "weird number" is actually a timestamp.

A formatted date using the member's locale should be shown instead, including the time if the field option is enabled.

You need to click the Revisions link when viewing the record where the field was changed:

 

And this is what the Revision page shows:
