To start a Fossil Watch, rotate the crown clockwise 20–30 times to wind the movement. A Fossil Mechanical Watch works without a battery and starts after proper winding. Pull the crown gently to set the correct time, then push it back. An Original Fossil Watch with mechanical movement runs through gears and wrist motion. A Fossil Automatic Watch keeps working when worn regularly. Unlike a Fossil Smart Watch, it does not need charging. Conclusion: A Fossil Mechanical Watch starts by winding the crown and setting the time. Regular use helps keep your Fossil Watch running smoothly.
