Adjusting the Bracelet

Operating the Watch
Reading the Time
Your Fossil Scarlette watch displays time using three hands: an hour hand, a minute hand, and a second hand. The silver sunray dial features Roman numerals at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions, with stick indices for the remaining hours, ensuring clear readability.
Date Display

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
- To clean the stainless steel case and bracelet, use a soft, damp cloth.

- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish and crystal.
