FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Coachman CH2565 suitable for swimming?
A: With 5 ATM (50 metres) water resistance, this watch is splash-resistant and suitable for brief immersion such as handwashing or rain exposure. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. The leather strap should be kept dry to maintain its integrity.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing in this quartz chronograph?
A: Fossil quartz movements typically require battery replacement every 2-3 years depending on chronograph usage. Our authorised service centre at Cassims & Co. provides battery replacement services using genuine parts to maintain your warranty coverage.
Q: What is the chronograph functionality on this model?
A: The CH2565 features a fully functional chronograph (stopwatch) with three subdials measuring elapsed time. The tachymeter scale on the outer ring allows speed calculation over a known distance, making it ideal for motorsport enthusiasts and everyday timing needs.
Q: Can the leather cuff strap be replaced or adjusted?
A: Yes, the 22mm genuine leather strap can be sized and adjusted at our boutique. Whilst the cuff design provides a distinctive aesthetic, standard 22mm straps can be fitted if you prefer a different style. We stock various aftermarket options and can order genuine Fossil replacements.
Q: Does this watch have luminous hands for low-light visibility?
A: Yes, the Coachman features luminous hands that provide visibility in low-light conditions. The lume application is practical rather than extended, suitable for quick time-checks in dim environments.

Care Guide
- Avoid exposure to water beyond brief splashes; leather straps should be kept dry to prevent deterioration and discolouration
- Remove your watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports to protect both the movement and leather strap
- Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove perspiration, oils, and debris
- Clean the leather strap periodically with a slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry completely away from direct heat sources
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or magnetic fields which may affect timekeeping accuracy
- Store in the provided Fossil presentation box when not being worn to protect from dust and physical damage
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised Fossil service centre every 2-3 years or when timekeeping becomes erratic
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or adjust the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to avoid potential damage to the date mechanism
- Avoid impact and knocks to the case and crystal; whilst mineral crystal is scratch-resistant, it can chip or crack under severe impact
- Service the watch every 3-5 years to ensure gaskets remain effective and movement continues performing optimally
- If the crown becomes difficult to operate or moisture appears under the crystal, discontinue use and bring to our service centre immediately
