Operating Your Watch

Basic Timekeeping

Once the time and date are set, your watch will keep accurate time using its quartz movement. The main hour, minute, and second hands continuously display the current time.

Using the Chronograph

The chronograph can be used to measure intervals of time. For example, to time an event, press the top pusher to start, press it again to stop, and the bottom pusher to reset. The sub-dials will indicate the elapsed seconds, minutes, and a 24-hour representation.

Water Resistance

This watch has a water resistance depth of 165 Feet (5 ATM). This rating means the watch is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry one. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Battery Replacement

Your watch is powered by a Lithium Metal battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

Storage

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original tin box or a watch case, to protect it from dust and scratches.

The Fossil Dean watch is presented within its distinctive Fossil branded tin box, suitable for storage or gifting.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If it still doesn't run, the battery may need replacement.
• Time Inaccurate: Check if the crown is accidentally pulled out. If the time is consistently off, the movement may require servicing.
• Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero: Perform the chronograph reset procedure (press the bottom pusher). If this does not work, the watch may need adjustment by a professional.
