Setting Time and Date:
- Pull the crown: Gently pull the crown (located on the side of the watch case) out to position 2 for setting the date, or position 3 for setting the time.
- Adjust the date: In position 2, rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the correct date.
- Adjust the time: In position 3, rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time. Ensure AM/PM is correctly set if your watch has a 24-hour indicator or if you are setting the date.

4. Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch:
To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel components, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the watch's finish and seals.
Water Resistance:
The Fossil FB-01 watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet), making it suitable for swimming and snorkeling. However, it is not recommended for diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged. Exposure to hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot tubs, saunas) can compromise water resistance over time.
Battery Replacement:
The watch is powered by a Lithium Ion battery. When the watch stops running, the battery may need replacement. It is highly recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized Fossil service center or a qualified watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

5. Troubleshooting
Watch Not Running:
- Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is pulled out, the watch will not run.
- The battery may need replacement. Refer to the 'Battery Replacement' section under Maintenance.
Incorrect Time or Date:
- Follow the 'Setting Time and Date' instructions in the Setup section to reset.
- If the issue persists after resetting, the movement may require inspection by a professional.
Water Inside the Watch:
- Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself, as this can cause further damage and void the warranty.
