4. Maintenance and Care

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

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. For the stainless steel strap, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
• Battery: The watch uses 1 Lithium Metal battery (included). Battery life varies depending on usage. When the watch stops or runs erratically, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to maintain water resistance.
• Avoid Extremes: Protect your watch from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, and strong magnetic fields.
• Chemicals: Avoid contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these can damage the case, strap, or seals.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your watch, consider the following common solutions:

• Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is pushed all the way in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
• Incorrect Time: Reset the time as described in Section 3.1. If the time continues to be inaccurate, the battery may be low or the movement may require servicing.
• Chronograph Not Resetting to Zero: This may indicate a need for calibration or servicing. Consult a professional watch repair service.
