FAQ
Q: What is the case size of the Fossil Latitude FS5753?
A: The case diameter is 50mm, making this a substantial watch with a bold wrist presence. The case thickness is 13mm, maintaining a balanced profile despite the chronograph complication.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, with 10 ATM (100 metres) water resistance, the Latitude Chronograph is suitable for swimming and recreational water sports. However, chronograph pushers should not be operated underwater, and the watch is not suitable for diving.
Q: What type of movement powers this watch?

Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized by removing or adding links. We provide complimentary bracelet sizing when you purchase the watch from us, or you can visit our Mall of the South location for adjustments.
Q: What is the smoke finish on the case and bracelet?
A: The smoke finish is a grey-toned coating applied to the stainless steel, creating a contemporary matte appearance that distinguishes this watch from traditional polished steel models. This finish offers excellent scratch resistance and maintains its appearance with regular wear.
Q: Does this watch come with the official Fossil warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Fossil retailer, we provide the full 2-year international manufacturer's warranty with every watch. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and is valid worldwide at authorised service centres.
Q: What are the chronograph subdials used for?
A: The three chronograph subdials measure elapsed time: typically a 1/10 second counter, a 30-minute counter, and a continuous seconds subdial. The chronograph function is operated using the pushers on the right side of the case.

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water to prevent corrosion and maintain the finish.
- Clean the case and bracelet periodically using a soft cloth slightly dampened with mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
- Avoid operating the chronograph pushers when the watch is wet, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when the watch stops or shows signs of low power, typically every 2-3 years.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it, preferably in its original box or a watch case.
