You can do this:

function prettyDate2(time){
    var date = new Date(parseInt(time));
    var localeSpecificTime = date.toLocaleTimeString();
    return localeSpecificTime.replace(/:\d+ /, ' ');
}

The regex is stripping the seconds from that string.

A more general version from @CJLopez's answer:

function prettyDate2(time) {
  var date = new Date(parseInt(time));
  return date.toLocaleTimeString(navigator.language, {
    hour: '2-digit',
    minute:'2-digit'
  });
}
