FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Neutra ES5217 suitable for swimming or showering?
A: The Neutra ES5217 has a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 metres), which makes it suitable for splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as handwashing.

Q: What type of battery does this watch use and how long does it last?
A: The Fossil Neutra ES5217 is powered by a standard quartz battery. Typical battery life ranges from 2 to 3 years depending on usage, particularly chronograph function usage.

Q: What is the purpose of the three sub-dials on this chronograph?
A: The Fossil Neutra ES5217 features three chronograph sub-dials that measure elapsed time. Typically, these include a 1/10th second counter, a 30-minute counter, and a 24-hour counter, allowing you to time events with precision. The chronograph function is operated via the pushers on the right side of the case.
Q: Are the crystals on the bezel genuine or synthetic?
A: The bezel is set with synthetic crystals that provide the sparkle and brilliance of genuine stones while maintaining Fossil's accessible price point. These crystals are securely set and designed to maintain their lustre with proper care.
Q: Can I change the bracelet to a leather strap?
A: Absolutely. The Fossil Neutra ES5217 features a 16mm lug width and is compatible with Fossil's interchangeable strap system. You can easily swap the steel bracelet for a leather strap, fabric strap, or any other 16mm compatible option to suit your style or occasion.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and daily residue.
