FAQs
What is the 'Big Tic' feature?
Big Tic refers to the watch's unique display where large, animated digits scroll by the second, offering a distinctive visual representation of time.
Is this watch suitable for swimming?
Water resistance varies by model. Check the specific rating on your watch or in the user manual. Unless rated for high water resistance (e.g., 100m or more), it is generally advised to avoid swimming or submerging the watch.
How often does the battery need to be replaced?
Battery life depends on usage and battery type. For quartz models, batteries typically last 2-5 years. It is recommended to have batteries replaced by a professional to avoid damaging the movement.
What is the significance of it being a 'limited-edition revival'?
It means the watch is a re-release of a popular, archival design from Fossil's past, produced in a limited quantity, making it a collectible item.
Can the gold-tone finish wear off?
Gold-tone finishes are typically plated. With regular wear, especially with contact with skin oils and chemicals, the plating can eventually wear down. Proper care and avoiding harsh conditions can prolong its appearance.
What does 'analogue-digital' mean in the description?
It signifies that the watch has both traditional watch hands (analogue) to display time, along with a digital screen or display that shows time and potentially other functions.
Troubleshooting
Animated digits are not displaying correctly or have stopped.
Ensure the watch battery is not depleted. If it is a mechanical watch, check if it needs winding. Consult the user manual for specific troubleshooting steps related to the Big Tic display.
Watch is losing time or running fast.
For mechanical watches, this might indicate a need for servicing or a magnetized movement. For battery-powered watches, the battery may need replacement. Contact customer support for diagnosis.
Crown or buttons are stiff or difficult to operate.
Avoid forcing them. Small amounts of specialized watch lubricant may be needed, but it's best to have a professional watchmaker inspect and service the watch.
Scratches on the case or bracelet.
Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out by a professional watch repair service. Significant scratches may require polishing or replacement parts.
