3.7 Water Resistance

This watch is water-resistant up to 5 ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Avoid pressing buttons or operating the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel components, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish.

4.2 Water Resistance Care

To preserve the water resistance of your watch, ensure the crown is always pushed in completely. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot showers followed by cold water), as this can cause seals to expand and contract, potentially leading to water intrusion. Do not operate buttons or the crown while the watch is submerged or wet.

4.3 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a Lithium battery. When the digital display becomes dim or stops functioning, the battery may need replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may void the warranty and damage the watch.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Fossil FS5889 watch, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Digital Display is Blank or Dim: This usually indicates a low battery. Arrange for professional battery replacement.
• Analog Hands Not Moving or Incorrect Time: Check if the crown is pushed in completely. If the issue persists, the battery may be low, or the movement may require service.
• Buttons Not Responding: Ensure the watch is dry. If buttons are stuck, gently clean around them. If they remain unresponsive, professional inspection is recommended.
• Water Inside the Watch: If condensation or water droplets appear under the crystal, immediately take the watch to a service center. This indicates a breach in water resistance.

For problems not listed here, or if solutions do not resolve the issue, contact Fossil customer support or an authorized service center.
