Is there a easier way to change the month dial on a fossil

Fossil battery replacement sizes are usually a 2430 (CR2430), 371 (SR920SW), or 377 (SR626SW).

The file is a compendium of instructions for a large number of Fossil movements, but it is unclertain which movements the model CH-2331 and CH-2698 watches use. However, movement OS10 (page 15) appears to be the only one that matches the dial layout, button layout and also has a date window as the CH-2331. The watch has a quartz analog mechanism and uses one SR927W 1.55-volt silver oxide button cell. Silver oxide cells have low current output, but very long shelf life, so if the stem is pulled out completely when the watch isn't being worn, the battery could last many years. Scan the instructions to match up the CH-2698 with a movement number. A good guess from examining photos of the face of a CH-2698 watch would be movements OS20 / FS00 or VD53.

no way in world you can find onther band any where ,i been looking for one for over a year,,canada ,usa, eurpe, middle east .far east you name no luck jus t keep looking at it you may feel good

If you go to the Fossil web site http://www.fossil.com/en_US/shop/customer_care/static/fossil-Instructions.html
You will find a list of diagrams and associated instructions. (As you run the the curser over each model the picture changes to show the layout of the wach the instructions are for).

I could not find the model you mentioned but there must be one of these that is close to yours.

The dials are part of a Chronograph (stop watch) I assume there is a second, minute, and maybe a date function. Usually the large second hand is part of the stop watch on only moves when you start the stopwatch (top right button) push again to stop and reset back too zero is the bottom button. Usually to set or zero out those dials pull out the crown to the first click (also sets date) then push the top button to set the seconds (big hand) and the bottom button to set the other. sometimes you may need to pull the crown out to the second click (also sets hour and minutes) to set add'l dials. This is generally how you set most chronograph watches the button you push and what moves may be different.
