Setup

Setting the Time

1. Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to position 2.
2. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into position 1 (normal operating position).

Setting Multi-Function Dials (Day/Date/24-Hour)

Your Fenmore BQ2809 watch is equipped with a multi-function movement, typically featuring sub-dials for day, date, and a 24-hour indicator. The specific setting method may vary slightly, but generally involves the crown and pushers.

1. Date Setting: Pull the crown out to position 1.5 (halfway). Rotate the crown to adjust the date sub-dial. Push the crown back in.
2. Day Setting: Pull the crown out to position 2. Rotate the crown to advance the hour hand past 12 AM to change the day. Continue rotating until the correct day is displayed.
3. 24-Hour Indicator: This sub-dial usually synchronizes with the main hour hand and does not require separate adjustment.

Adjusting the Bracelet

The gold-tone stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted for a comfortable fit. This typically involves removing or adding links. It is recommended to have this adjustment performed by a professional jeweler or watch repair service to prevent damage to the bracelet or clasp mechanism.

Operating Multi-Function Features

The Fenmore BQ2809 features a multi-function quartz movement. The sub-dials typically display the day of the week, the date, and a 24-hour time format. These functions are usually set in conjunction with the main time setting or via the pushers located on either side of the crown.

• Top Pusher: Often used to advance the day or date.
• Bottom Pusher: May be used for quick adjustments or resetting certain sub-dial indicators.

Refer to the "Setting Multi-Function Dials" section under Setup for initial configuration. Once set, these sub-dials operate automatically.

Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Water Resistance

Your Fossil Fenmore BQ2809 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.

• 50 Meters (5 ATM): Suitable for showering, bathing, and shallow swimming.
• Not suitable for: Diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports.

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a product-specific battery (1 included). When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance integrity.

Troubleshooting

Watch Not Running

• Check Crown Position: Ensure the crown is fully pushed into position 1.
• Battery Depletion: If the watch has stopped completely, the battery may need replacement.

Time/Date Not Setting Correctly

• Crown Position: Verify the crown is pulled out to the correct position for setting (position 2 for time, position 1.5 for date).
• Mechanism Issue: If the hands or sub-dials do not respond to crown/pusher adjustments, there may be an internal mechanism issue requiring professional inspection.

For persistent issues, contact Fossil customer support or an authorized service center.
