3. Operating the Watch

Your Fossil Coachman watch is designed for daily wear and offers various functions beyond basic timekeeping.

3.1 Reading the Sub-dials

• Left Sub-dial: Tracks elapsed minutes for the chronograph (up to 60 minutes).
• Bottom Sub-dial: Tracks elapsed seconds for the chronograph (up to 60 seconds).
• Right Sub-dial: Displays 24-hour time, useful for distinguishing AM/PM.

3.2 Water Resistance Guidelines

The watch is water resistant up to 100 meters (330 feet). This means it is suitable for:

• Bathing
• Swimming
• Snorkeling

Important: It is not resistant enough to withstand scuba diving. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water intrusion. While the watch itself is water resistant, prolonged exposure to water can damage the leather strap. It is recommended to remove the watch before showering or swimming to preserve the strap's condition.

4. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Fossil watch.

4.1 Cleaning Your Watch

• Case and Crystal: Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
• Leather Strap: Avoid exposing the leather strap to excessive moisture, direct sunlight, or harsh chemicals. Clean with a dry, soft cloth. If the strap gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat. Leather conditioners specifically designed for watch straps can help maintain its suppleness.

4.2 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by one Lithium Metal battery. When the watch stops or the second hand begins to skip, it indicates a low battery. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

4.3 Storage

When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The original Fossil tin (if provided) is an ideal storage solution.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your watch, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in to position 0. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
• Incorrect Time/Date: Follow the instructions in Section 2.1 and 2.2 to re-set the time and date.
• Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero: If the chronograph hands do not return to their 12 o'clock positions after resetting, consult a professional watch repair service.
• Condensation Under Crystal: This may indicate a loss of water resistance. Have the watch inspected by a professional immediately.
