Introduction
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the setup, operation, and maintenance of your Fossil Fenmore Midsize Multifunction Navy Stainless Steel Watch, model BQ2403. Please read this guide thoroughly to ensure proper use and care of your timepiece.
Setup
1. Initial Inspection
Upon unboxing, inspect your watch for any visible damage. Ensure all protective films are removed from the crystal and case back.
2. Setting the Time
- Pull the crown (B) out to position 2. The second hand will stop.
- Turn the crown (B) clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
- Push the crown (B) back into position 1 to start the watch.

3. Setting the Date and Day (Multifunction Dials)
Your Fenmore watch features multifunction sub-dials for day and date. The 24-hour sub-dial synchronizes with the main time.
- Pull the crown (B) out to position 1.
- Turn the crown (B) clockwise to adjust the date. Turn counter-clockwise to adjust the day.
- Once the date and day are set, push the crown (B) back into its normal position.
Note: Avoid setting the date or day between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism. If adjustment is needed during this period, first set the time outside this window, adjust the date/day, then reset the time.
4. Band Adjustment
The stainless steel band may require adjustment for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to have this done by a professional jeweler or watch repair service to avoid damaging the band or watch case.
Operating Your Watch
Basic Timekeeping
Once set, your quartz multifunction watch will accurately display the time. The main hands indicate hours, minutes, and seconds.

Multifunction Dials
- Day Sub-dial: Located at the 9 o'clock position, indicates the current day of the week.
- Date Sub-dial: Located at the 3 o'clock position, indicates the current date.
- 24-Hour Sub-dial: Located at the 6 o'clock position, displays the time in a 24-hour format, synchronized with the main time.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and band regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel bands, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Water Resistance
Your Fossil Fenmore watch is water-resistant. However, it is important to understand the limitations:
- Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet.
- Water resistance ratings are not permanent and may decrease over time due to wear and tear.
- Exposure to hot water, steam, or sudden temperature changes can compromise water resistance.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a product-specific battery (included). When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump erratically (indicating low battery), the battery needs to be replaced. It is highly recommended to have battery replacement performed by an authorized Fossil service center or a professional watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it away from magnetic fields, which can affect the accuracy of quartz movements.
Troubleshooting
Watch Not Running
- Check if the crown (B) is pushed all the way in to position 0.
- The battery may be depleted. Refer to the "Battery Replacement" section.
Incorrect Time or Date
- Refer to the "Setting the Time" and "Setting the Date and Day" sections to re-adjust.
- Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after adjustment.
If issues persist, contact Fossil customer support or an authorized service center.
