Phone: 0870 770 7253

What is the cost of repair?

How can I replace the battery in my watch - in warranty or out of warranty?
Our watch cases are similar to those of other fashion watches and designed with a case back that must be pressure sealed to protect the watch from particles and precipitation. Any reputable jeweller may be able to replace the battery. However, if the watch is damaged because of unauthorised entry, the warranty will be void.

Alternatively, send your watch to Fossil's authorised service centre for battery replacement.

UNITED KINGDOM SERVICE CENTRE
PO BOX 7296
MILTON KEYNES
MK13 9ZH

Phone: 0870 770 7253

An estimate for the work to be carried out will be sent to you. Please enclose with the watch; your return address, a description of the problem and a note requesting battery replacement. The watch will be returned to you within 4-6 weeks of our receiving it. We encourage you to send your package insured or with a traceable shipper. Fossil (UK) Ltd is not responsible for lost or stolen packages. If you have any further questions, please contact our Service Center.

Why did my Big-Tic stop displaying the seconds?
The Big-Tic watch uses two batteries, one for the digital display of seconds and one for the analog movement of the hands. The battery for the digital movement needs to be replaced if the seconds are not showing up.

Back to top

Why does the date on my "Big Date" watch go to 39?
Fossil created this watch for easy date reference. To do this, we added a second number wheel. The two wheels rotate independently. One wheel with the numbers 0 - 3 and the second wheel with 0 - 9. As the wheels rotate, we end up having numbers from 00 to 39. Please note that the "Big Date" must be wound forward (e.g. from 31 to 01) at the end of each month in order to maintain an accurate date.

Note: To avoid damage to your watch always adjust the time by moving hands clockwise.

Can I adjust my metal watchband?
If you have a Fossil "adjust-o-link" band you may decrease the size of your watchband by unfastening and taking out one or both of the two extra links to get proper fit.

For all other metal bands, special tools are needed to properly remove, without damage, the pins that hold the links together. Any reputable jeweller should be able to adjust a metal watchband.

If desired you may send your watch to Fossil's authorised service centre for link addition or removal.

UNITED KINGDOM SERVICE CENTRE
PO BOX 7296
MILTON KEYNES
MK13 9ZH

Phone: 0870 770 7253

Please contact our Service Center for an estimate of the charges involved. Enclose with the watch your return address, contact details, and a note requesting link addition or removal. The watch will be returned to you within 4-6 weeks of our receiving it. We encourage you to send your package insured or with a traceable shipper. Fossil (UK) Ltd is not responsible for lost or stolen packages.

Please note that link quantities are limited and are not guaranteed to be in stock.
