Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
- Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth.
- For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals to prevent damage and discoloration.
- Do not use chemical cleaners, as they may damage the watch's finish.
Water Resistance
Your Fossil BQ2799 watch has a water resistance rating of 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet to prevent water ingress.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement and requires a battery. When the battery runs low, the watch may stop or the second hand may skip. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the watch's water resistance is maintained.

Troubleshooting
- Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
- Incorrect time/date: Refer to the "Setting the Time" and "Setting the Date" sections to re-adjust.
- Chronograph hands not resetting to zero: This may require a chronograph reset procedure. Consult a professional watch repair service if the issue persists after attempting to reset.
