Carefully remove your watch from its packaging. Inspect the watch for any visible damage. Ensure all protective films are removed from the crystal and case back before use.

1. Pull the crown (the knob on the right side of the watch case) out to position 2.

2.3 Setting Multifunction Sub-dials (Day, Date, 24-Hour)

The Fenmore watch features three sub-dials. These typically display the day of the week, date, and 24-hour time. The exact setting procedure may vary slightly, but generally involves the following:

1. Date Setting: Pull the crown out to position 1 (first click). Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date. Note: Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
2. Day Setting: The day sub-dial often advances with the main time. To set it, you may need to advance the main time past 24 hours until the correct day is displayed.
3. 24-Hour Sub-dial: This sub-dial usually synchronizes with the main hour hand and indicates whether the main time is AM or PM. It typically does not require separate adjustment.
4. After setting, push the crown back into position 0 (fully in).

2.4 Adjusting the Leather Strap

The watch comes with a standard buckle closure. To adjust, simply thread the strap through the buckle and secure the pin into the desired hole for a comfortable fit. Ensure the watch is snug but not too tight on your wrist.

3. Operation

3.1 Reading the Time

The main hands indicate the hour and minute. The smaller hand indicates seconds.

3.2 Using the Multifunction Sub-dials

• The sub-dial at the 3 o'clock position typically displays the date.
• The sub-dial at the 9 o'clock position typically displays the day of the week.
• The sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position typically displays 24-hour time, synchronizing with the main hour hand.

3.3 Water Resistance (5 ATM)

Your Fossil Fenmore watch is water resistant up to 5 ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, showering, or washing hands. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.

4. Care and Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch:

• Case and Crystal: Wipe with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
• Leather Strap: Avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals. Clean with a soft, dry cloth. If it gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat. Leather straps will naturally age and develop a unique patina over time.

4.2 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a SR927SW 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 maintain water resistance.

4.3 Storage

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping it in its original box or a watch case can help protect it from dust and scratches.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Watch Not Running

• Check the Crown: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in (position 0).
• Battery: If the watch has stopped completely, the battery may need replacement.

5.2 Incorrect Time or Date

• Resetting: Follow the instructions in Section 2.2 and 2.3 to reset the time and date.
• Crown Position: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting.

5.3 Condensation Under Crystal

If you notice condensation under the crystal, it may indicate a loss of water resistance. Take the watch to a qualified technician immediately to prevent further damage.
