Fossil Neutra Chrono Watch - FS5453

The watch has a 50-meter water resistance, meaning it can withstand recreational swimming in shallow water and showering. However, the brown leather strap is not designed for frequent or prolonged water exposure and can be damaged. It's best to avoid getting the strap wet if possible.

To clean the leather strap, gently wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth. You can use a very mild soap if needed, but ensure you wipe it thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth afterwards to remove any residue. Let it air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.

Info needed: [Battery type]. Typically, watch batteries last between 2-3 years. We recommend having battery replacements performed by a certified watch professional to ensure the water resistance is resealed correctly.

The 2-year warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. It typically does not cover damage caused by misuse, accidents, normal wear and tear, or battery depletion. Always refer to the warranty card included with your watch for full terms and conditions.

Yes, the watch features gold-plated luminescent hour markers and hands. These absorb light and then glow in low-light conditions, providing improved readability in the dark for a period after exposure to light.

First, check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the issue persists, the battery may need to be replaced. Consult a professional watchmaker for battery replacement to maintain water resistance.

Many chronographs have a reset procedure. For most Fossil chronographs, pull the crown out to the first or second position, then use the pusher buttons to advance or reverse the chronograph hands back to the zero position. Push the crown back in when complete. Refer to your watch's specific manual for detailed instructions.

This can indicate a breach in the watch's water resistance or exposure to significant temperature changes. Take the watch to a professional watchmaker immediately to prevent further damage to the movement.

New leather straps often require a 'break-in' period. Wear the watch regularly to help the leather conform to your wrist. For persistent stiffness, a small amount of quality leather conditioner can be applied.
