Product Information

Full details

The Fossil Machine Chronograph is designed for individuals seeking a rugged yet sophisticated everyday timepiece that balances industrial aesthetic with functional reliability. Its signature knurled bezel and 44mm gold-tone case make it a standout accessory for business-casual attire, though the 50-meter water resistance rating means it should be kept away from intense water activities like swimming or diving.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this watch waterproof?

It is water-resistant up to 50 meters, meaning it can withstand splashes or rain, but it should not be worn while swimming or showering.

Can I change the strap myself?

Yes, the 22mm strap is interchangeable and features a quick-release or standard spring bar system for easy removal.

What type of battery does it use?

It uses a standard silver-oxide watch battery. It is recommended to have this replaced by a professional to ensure the seal remains intact.

Does the watch glow in the dark?

While it features baton markers, check if your specific dial version has luminous coating; the gold-tone indices generally offer high visibility in most light conditions.

How do I clean the gold-tone finish?

Use a soft, non-abrasive microfiber cloth to wipe away fingerprints and oils. Do not use chemical cleaners or solvents.

Troubleshooting

The watch hands are not moving

The battery likely needs replacing. Visit a professional jeweler or a Fossil authorized service center.

Chronograph hands are not resetting to zero

Pull the crown to the second position and press the pushers to calibrate the sub-dial hands, then return the crown to the original position.

Leather strap is stiff or uncomfortable

Leather bands often require a break-in period; wearing the watch regularly will cause the strap to soften and mold to your wrist shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Striking industrial design with gold-tone and brown color scheme
  • Versatile 22mm strap is compatible with other Fossil interchangeable bands
  • Highly legible dial with baton hour markers
  • Durable stainless steel construction

Cons

  • Not suitable for swimming or heavy water submersion
  • Large 44mm case may feel heavy on smaller wrists
  • Leather strap requires care to avoid staining or cracking over time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set the time, pull the crown out to the furthest position and rotate it until the hands display the correct time, then push it back in. To adjust the chronograph, use the top and bottom pushers on the side of the case.

Regarding compatibility, this watch uses a 22mm lug width, meaning you can easily swap the stock leather strap for any 22mm silicone or stainless steel bracelet. To care for your watch, wipe the case with a soft, dry cloth regularly. For the leather strap, keep it away from direct sunlight, moisture, and perfumes to prevent the material from drying out or discoloring. If the watch gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth immediately.
