Short Answer 
To adjust a Fossil Watch with three dials, first identify the crowns: the top crown controls the stopwatch, the middle crown sets the time, and the bottom crown adjusts the date. To set the time and date, pull the middle crown for adjustments, and use the top and bottom crowns for chronograph functions. Always ensure to push the crowns back in after adjustments for water resistance.
Step 1: Identify the Crowns
The first step in adjusting your Fossil Watch with 3 dials is to locate the three crowns on the side of the watch. Each crown has a specific function:
- Top Crown: Controls the stopwatch and the secondary hand.
- Middle Crown: Sets the main time.
- Bottom Crown: Typically adjusts the date.
Step 2: Adjust the Time and Date
To set the time, pull the middle crown out until you hear a click (usually two clicks). This allows you to:
- Turn the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands.
- For the date, pull the middle crown out just one click and turn it.
- One direction changes the day, while the other adjusts the date of the month.
Step 3: Utilize the Chronograph Feature
For using the chronograph function, you’ll interact with the top and bottom crowns. Here’s how:
- Press the top crown to start or stop the stopwatch.
- Use the bottom crown to reset the chronograph back to zero.
- Finally, remember to push all crowns back in after adjustments to maintain water resistance.
