Introduction
Welcome to your new Fossil BQ2797 Men's Chronograph Watch. This manual provides detailed instructions for setting up, operating, and maintaining your timepiece to ensure its longevity and accurate performance. Please read these instructions carefully before using your watch.
Setup
Setting the Time
- Pull the crown (center knob on the right side of the watch) out to position 2.
- Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Once the time is set, push the crown back into position 1 (normal operating position).
Setting the Date and Day
- Pull the crown out to position 1 (first click).
- Turn the crown clockwise to adjust the date.
- Turn the crown counter-clockwise to adjust the day of the week.
- Once the date and day are set, push the crown back into position 0 (fully in).
- Note: Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this may interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.

Strap Adjustment
The metal bracelet of your Fossil BQ2797 watch can be adjusted for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to have this adjustment performed by a professional jeweler or a Fossil service center to prevent damage to the bracelet or clasp.
Operating the Chronograph
Your Fossil BQ2797 watch features a chronograph function for measuring elapsed time.
- Start/Stop: Press the top pusher (A) to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop.
- Reset: While the chronograph is stopped, press the bottom pusher (B) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.
- Sub-dials: The sub-dials on the watch face display various chronograph measurements, such as elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours, depending on the specific movement. Refer to the watch face for specific markings (e.g., 24-hour indicator, day of week, date).

Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For watches with water resistance, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Avoid using chemical cleaners or abrasive materials.
Water Resistance
Your Fossil BQ2797 watch has a specific water resistance rating. While the exact rating is not specified here, it is generally recommended to avoid exposing your watch to water unless its water resistance level is clearly stated for swimming or diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water. Avoid operating the pushers or crown while the watch is wet.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a battery. When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. It is highly recommended to have the battery replaced by a certified watch technician or a Fossil service center to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Time/Date Incorrect: Re-adjust the time and date as per the "Setup" section. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after adjustment.
- Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero: This may require a chronograph reset procedure, which can vary by movement. If repeated attempts to reset using pusher B fail, professional service may be required.
