FAQs
Is the leather strap waterproof?
The leather strap is not waterproof. While the watch itself is water-resistant up to 100M, prolonged exposure to water can damage the leather. It's best to remove the watch for swimming or if it gets wet and allow the strap to air dry.
How do I use the chronograph functions?
The top pusher starts and stops the chronograph. The bottom pusher resets the chronograph hands to their original positions. The sub-dials track elapsed minutes and hours, and the second hand of the main dial tracks elapsed seconds when the chronograph is active.
Can I wear this watch while scuba diving?
No, the watch has a water resistance of 10 ATM, which is suitable for swimming and snorkeling but not for scuba diving.
What size is the watch strap?
The watch is compatible with all 22mm watch straps.
How often does the battery need to be replaced?
The battery life typically lasts 2-3 years, depending on usage. If the watch stops or the chronograph functions become weak, it's likely time for a battery replacement.
Is this watch suitable for formal occasions?
The Coachman Chronograph has a versatile design. While it leans towards casual and sporty with its chronograph and leather strap, its classic stainless steel case and silver dial make it acceptable for many semi-formal occasions.
Where can I find replacement straps?
You can find compatible 22mm watch straps from Fossil's official website or other reputable watch accessory retailers.
Troubleshooting
Chronograph not resetting to zero
Ensure the chronograph has been fully reset. If the issue persists, the chronograph may need to be recalibrated by a watch professional.
Watch stopped working
The battery may be depleted and needs replacement. Consult a watch repair professional for battery changes.
Date is incorrect
Adjust the date by pulling the crown to the second position and rotating it. Ensure you are not setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can cause the date mechanism to malfunction.
Strap is uncomfortable or damaged
Adjust the buckle for a better fit. For damage, consider replacing the strap with a compatible 22mm option, or consult a professional for repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The watch typically arrives with its crown pulled out to the '0' position to conserve battery. To start using it, gently push the crown back in. Setting the time and date is done by pulling the crown out to the appropriate position and turning it. The chronograph is operated via the pushers located above and below the crown.
Compatibility: This Coachman model is compatible with all 22mm watch straps, allowing for easy customization with different materials and colors.
Care:
- Strap Care: Clean the genuine leather strap with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Avoid excessive exposure to water or direct sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather. Consider using a leather conditioner periodically.
- Water Resistance: While rated for 100M, it's advisable to rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly after exposure to salt water or chlorine. Ensure the crown is pushed in before any water exposure. The water resistance is not a permanent condition and may diminish over time.
- Cleaning: Wipe the stainless steel case and mineral crystal with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher smudges, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
