3. Operation

3.1 Basic Timekeeping

Your Fossil watch is equipped with a precise Quartz movement and a three-hand analog display (hour, minute, and second hands) for accurate timekeeping. Once the time is set, the watch operates continuously.

3.2 Water Resistance

This watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (165 feet), or 5 ATM. This rating means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming and showering. It is not designed for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet to prevent water intrusion.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

• Watch Case: Wipe the stainless steel case with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough drying.
• Leather Strap: Clean the leather strap with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid excessive moisture. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner.

4.2 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a Lithium Metal battery. When the watch stops running 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 maintain water resistance.

4.3 General Care

• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
• Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, as these can affect the accuracy of the Quartz movement.
