3.1 Using the Chronograph Function

The chronograph function allows you to measure elapsed time independently of the main time display. Your Fossil Machine Chronograph features a multi-layered dial with sub-dials for this purpose.

2. Stop: Press the top pusher (button A) again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands on the sub-dials.
3. Reset: Press the bottom pusher (button B) to reset the chronograph hands to their zero positions.

Note: Refer to the specific markings on your watch dial for the functions of each sub-dial (e.g., seconds, minutes, 24-hour display).

4.1 Water Resistance

Your watch is water resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming and showering. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

4.2 Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch:

• Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth.
• For the silicone band, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.

The watch uses 1 LR44 battery. When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to take your watch to an authorized Fossil service center or a reputable watch repair professional. This ensures proper battery installation and maintenance of water resistance.
