Horological Care & Maintenance
To preserve the beauty of your Fossil Rhett BQ2848, we recommend cleaning the gold-tone case with a soft microfibre cloth after daily wear. The LiteHide™ leather strap is a natural product; avoid prolonged exposure to water, heavy perspiration, and perfumes to prevent staining or premature aging. While the watch is water-resistant to 50 metres, it is best to remove it before showering or swimming to protect the natural leather oils. When not in use, store your timepiece in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the blue sunray dial.
