Fossil maintenance and care tips
AVOID WATER AND DUST DAMAGE
Make sure that the crown on your Fossil watch, which is used to change the hands/date, is properly pushed in and/or screwed at all times. This is highly important for your timepiece as this will prevent infiltration of water or dust, which could lead to internal damage.
FOSSIL BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Like most timepieces, a Fossil watch battery could last for up to three years. It’s important that when your battery runs out, you contact the experts at Repairs by Post for watch battery replacement. Did you know that dead battery cells can harm the watch movement if left unattended?
TEMPERATURE
Watches are very sensitive instruments; therefore, it is important to avoid your watch from being exposed to rapid changes in temperature, both hot and cold.
Certain temperatures and movements can damage your timepiece. If your watch is if exposed to temperatures above 60 degrees it could damage the inside or outside of your watch, therefore, it is recommended to avoid leaving your watch in high-risk areas such as windows.
WATCH SHOCKS AND VIBRATIONS
