Introduction

This manual provides essential instructions for the setup, operation, and maintenance of your Fossil Fenmore Midsize Multifunction Watch, Model BQ2365. Please read this guide thoroughly to ensure proper use and care of your timepiece.

The Fossil Fenmore Midsize Multifunction Watch, Model BQ2365, is a sophisticated timepiece featuring a black IP stainless steel band and case, complemented by a scratch-resistant mineral crystal. Its black dial houses a quartz multifunction movement, offering chronograph capabilities with sub-dials for measuring seconds, minutes, and hours.

Setup

1. Setting the Time and Date

1. Pull out the crown: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch case) to position 2 for setting the date, or position 3 for setting the time.
2. Adjust the time/date: Rotate the crown to set the desired time or date. For time, ensure you distinguish between AM and PM if your watch has a date function that changes at midnight.
3. Push in the crown: Once set, push the crown back into position 1 to start the watch and seal it against water.

2. Adjusting the Watch Band

The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by adding or removing links to fit your wrist size. This procedure typically requires specialized tools and is best performed by a professional jeweler. However, if you have the correct tools, you can perform it yourself by carefully pushing out the pins that hold the links together.

• Reset: With the chronograph stopped, press the bottom pusher to reset all chronograph hands back to their zero positions.
• Sub-dials: The watch features two or three sub-dials that typically measure elapsed seconds, minutes, and sometimes hours, depending on the specific movement. Refer to the watch face for specific markings.

Maintenance and Care

Water Resistance

Your watch is water resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water intrusion.

Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly wipe the case and band with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel bands, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by one product-specific battery (included). 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 maintain water resistance.

Crystal Care

The watch features a scratch-resistant mineral crystal. While durable, it is not entirely impervious to scratches. Avoid contact with sharp or abrasive surfaces to preserve its clarity.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Running:
  • Check if the crown is fully pushed in to position 1.
  • The battery may be depleted. Refer to the "Battery Replacement" section.
• Incorrect Time/Date:
  • Ensure the crown is not accidentally pulled out.
  • Reset the time and date as described in the "Setting the Time and Date" section.
• Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero:
  • Ensure the chronograph is stopped before attempting to reset.
  • If the issue persists, a professional adjustment may be required.
