The Fossil Sport Tourer Chronograph FS6044 is a bold statement in contemporary sports horology, featuring a vibrant yellow dial that commands attention with its racing-inspired aesthetic. This 42mm quartz chronograph combines precision timekeeping with motorsport design cues, including a tachymeter bezel and three contrasting black sub-dials that track elapsed time with mechanical clarity. The striking yellow dial is complemented by a mix of Arabic numerals and applied indices, offering excellent legibility in all conditions.
Housed in a robust brushed stainless steel case measuring 42mm in diameter and 13.5mm in thickness, this timepiece balances wearability with presence. The watch is secured by a textured black silicone strap with a sporty tire-tread pattern, designed for comfort during active wear whilst remaining sophisticated enough for casual settings. Water-resistant to 5 ATM (approximately 50 metres), the Sport Tourer is suitable for everyday wear including swimming and surface water sports.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to offer this distinctive chronograph as part of our curated selection of FOSSIL watches, each representing accessible American design with reliable quartz movement technology. The FS6044's quartz chronograph movement ensures accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance requirements, whilst the date window at 3 o'clock adds practical everyday functionality. The interchangeable 22mm strap width allows for personalisation, making this watch adaptable to your individual style.
Whether you're drawn to motorsport heritage or simply appreciate a watch that stands out from conventional timepieces, the Sport Tourer Chronograph delivers visual impact and functional performance.

FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Sport Tourer FS6044 suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, with 5 ATM water resistance, this watch is suitable for swimming and surface water sports. However, it is not suitable for diving or high-impact water activities. Avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown whilst underwater.
Q: What battery does this chronograph use and how long does it last?
A: The Fossil Sport Tourer uses a standard quartz chronograph battery that typically lasts 2-3 years depending on chronograph usage. When battery replacement is needed, visit us at Cassims & Co. and our service team can replace it professionally whilst maintaining water resistance seals.
Q: Can I change the silicone strap to a different style?
A: Absolutely. The watch features a standard 22mm lug width, making it compatible with a wide range of aftermarket straps including leather, NATO, or alternative silicone options. We can assist with strap changes and recommendations at our boutique.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph function?
A: The top pusher at 2 o'clock starts and stops the chronograph, whilst the bottom pusher at 4 o'clock resets the chronograph hands to zero. The three sub-dials track elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours during timing operations.
Q: What is the tachymeter scale used for?
A: The tachymeter bezel allows you to calculate speed over a known distance. Start the chronograph as an object passes a start point, stop it at exactly one kilometre, and the chronograph second hand will point to your average speed in kilometres per hour on the tachymeter scale.
Q: Is this watch covered by an international warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Fossil retailer, this watch carries a 2-year international Fossil warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship from the date of purchase.
Q: What makes the yellow dial special for visibility?
A: The high-contrast yellow dial with black sub-dials and mixed numeral styles provides exceptional legibility in varied lighting conditions. The bold colour choice is inspired by motorsport timing instruments and ensures quick time reading at a glance.

Care Guide
- Wipe the stainless steel case and silicone strap regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove perspiration, dust, and everyday residue.
- For the silicone strap, periodically wash with mild soap and lukewarm water, then dry thoroughly before wearing. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight which may fade the strap over time.
- Avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown when the watch is wet or underwater, as this may compromise water resistance seals.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields when not wearing it.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when timekeeping becomes irregular. Battery replacement should include a water resistance test to maintain the 5 ATM rating.
- Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, perfumes, or cosmetics which may damage the case finish or silicone strap.
- The mineral crystal is scratch-resistant but not scratchproof. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces or hard impacts.
- If the watch will not be worn for extended periods, store it with the chronograph stopped to conserve battery life.
- We recommend a professional service inspection every 3-4 years to ensure water resistance seals remain intact and movement performance is optimal.
