FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Coachman CH2564 suitable for swimming?
A: With 5 ATM water resistance, this watch can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, but it is not designed for swimming, diving, or showering. We recommend removing the watch before water activities to preserve the leather strap and ensure longevity.
Q: How does the chronograph function work on this watch?
A: The chronograph is operated via the two pushers on the right side of the case. The top pusher starts and stops the chronograph, while the bottom pusher resets the hands to zero. The three sub-dials display chronograph minutes, seconds, and continuous seconds, providing stopwatch functionality alongside regular timekeeping.
Q: What is the battery life expectancy for this quartz movement?
A: FOSSIL quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life under normal use. When replacement is needed, our servicing team at Cassims & Co. can install a genuine SR621SW battery and pressure-test the case to maintain water resistance.
Q: Can I replace the leather cuff strap with a different strap?
A: Yes, the watch features a standard 22mm lug width, allowing you to fit alternative straps. However, the distinctive cuff design is integral to the Coachman's character. Visit our boutique to explore compatible strap options while preserving the watch's aesthetic.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions?
A: The Coachman Chronograph has a bold, sporty character with its 45mm case and perforated leather cuff strap, making it best suited to casual and smart-casual wear. For formal occasions, we recommend exploring dressier timepieces from our FOSSIL collection with slimmer profiles and traditional leather straps.
Q: What does the tachymeter scale on the bezel measure?
A: The tachymeter scale allows you to measure speed over a known distance. By starting the chronograph at a start point and stopping it at exactly one kilometre, the chronograph seconds hand will indicate your average speed in kilometres per hour on the tachymeter scale.
Q: Does this watch come with the full FOSSIL warranty when purchased from Cassims & Co.?
A: Absolutely. As an authorised FOSSIL retailer, every Coachman Chronograph purchased from Cassims & Co. includes the full 2-year international FOSSIL warranty, valid from your date of purchase and covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
