However, most Fossil watches follow a similar process.<gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"enter-time-setting-mode\">Enter Time Setting Mode<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start by finding a safe spot to stop and adjust your watch. You don&#8217;t want to be fiddling with your watch while navigating a tricky trail! Once you&#8217;re ready, press and hold the crown (the large knob on the side of the watch) until the watch beeps and the second&#8217;s digits start flashing. This indicates that you&#8217;re in the time-setting mode.<gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"move-to-the-date-setting\">Move to the Date Setting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Press the button labeled &#8216;Mode&#8217; or &#8216;M&#8217; (depending on your watch model) until the date digits start flashing. This might take a few presses, as you&#8217;ll need to cycle through the seconds, hours, and minutes settings first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hikerfitgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/fabian-heimann-4R_WEmhx8og-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"image showing how to change the date on your fossil watch\" class=\"wp-image-1116 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hikerfitgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/fabian-heimann-4R_WEmhx8og-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hikerfitgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/fabian-heimann-4R_WEmhx8og-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hikerfitgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/fabian-heimann-4R_WEmhx8og-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hikerfitgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/fabian-heimann-4R_WEmhx8og-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hikerfitgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/fabian-heimann-4R_WEmhx8og-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.hikerfitgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/fabian-heimann-4R_WEmhx8og-unsplash-850x567.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on your watch model, the &#8216;Mode&#8217; or &#8220;M&#8221; button can either be above or below the crown button.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"adjust-the-date\">Adjust the Date<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the date digits are flashing, use the crown to adjust the date.
