Setup

Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown (center knob on the right side of the watch case) out to position 2.
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move 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 the Date and Day

This watch features multifunction subdials for day and date. The specific setting mechanism may vary slightly, but generally involves:

• Date Subdial: Pull the crown out to position 1 (first click). Turn the crown to adjust the date. Push the crown back in when done.
• Day Subdial: Use the pushers (buttons above and below the crown) to advance the day of the week. Refer to the specific subdial markings for adjustment.
• 24-Hour Subdial: This subdial typically synchronizes with the main time display and does not require separate adjustment.

Note: Avoid setting the date or day between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.

Adjusting the Bracelet

The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by adding or removing links. This procedure typically requires specialized tools and is best performed by a professional jeweler to prevent damage to the watch or bracelet.

Operating Instructions

Your Fossil Fenmore watch is designed for daily wear. The analog display shows hours, minutes, and seconds. The three subdials provide additional information:

• One subdial indicates the day of the week.
• Another subdial displays the date.
• The third subdial shows a 24-hour format, synchronizing with the main time.

Water Resistance

This watch has a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but not for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water intrusion.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel bracelets, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a product-specific battery (included). When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump erratically, it indicates a low battery. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

Storage

When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The original watch tin can provide suitable protection.

Troubleshooting

• Watch not running:

  Ensure the crown is fully pushed in to position 1. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement. Contact a service center.

• Date/Day not changing:

  Verify the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle for the 24-hour subdial. Avoid setting the date/day between 9 PM and 3 AM. If the issue persists, consult a professional.
• Condensation under crystal:

  Small amounts of condensation may appear temporarily due to sudden temperature changes. If condensation persists or appears after water exposure, it may indicate a breach in water resistance. Seek professional inspection immediately.
