Fossil AM - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

Hello, We can tell you the battery number you may need for your Fossil Watch, but it is not worth you to change it yourself. Many people think that replacing a battery to a watch is an easy task, but that is far from truth. Note that once a watch is opened ( if you can get it without leaving marks all around the case) all circuits are extremely delicate. If you may touch some part with any metal instrument or even with your fingers, you will loose your watch. Best you can do is take it to be replaced to a watch shop, sure you have one near you. But let me insist, if you need the battery number, let us know and we will provide. TicTacArea.com is Fossil authorized dealer, you can find our complete Fossil watches and Straps for Fossil watches here:

You can try searching on ebay, sometimes you will find fossil wristbands there, or if you don't care you can get a nice generic wristband. Your choice! I hope this helps!

Quartz watches stop working most often for one of three reasons: (1) dead battery; (2) dirt in the gears blocking the train; and (3) a bad crystal. This is the order in which I typically troubleshoot watches.If the watch isn't working after you change the battery, first check to see that the stem is fully pushed in. A watch movement can shift just enough inside the case that a stem sometimes looks pushed in, but isn't quite in far enough to re-engage the movement. Pull out and push in the stem a few times to see if that changes anything.Next, assuming that the battery is indeed fine, look closely at the second hand. Is it moving at all, even a tiny bit? Hold the watch up to your ear. Is there any kind of "chunk" sound about once every second? If you can answer "yes" to either of these questions, a speck of dirt has gotten into the movement and is preventing the gears from moving freely. It doesn't take more than a a big spec of dust to cause this. Sometimes, advancing the time will move the gears enough to cause the dirt to fall out. Some watch repair places also have a special machine that spins the hands rapidly to blow out or compact any dirt in the train. It's usually not economically rational to have the movement professionally cleaned beyond this point.Finally, if you don't hear anything coming from your watch, the battery is good, and the setting stem is pushed firmly and completely into the watch movement, you may have a bad quartz timing crystal. It does happen, and when it does, the only repair is to replace the entire watch movement. Sometimes, that's affordable; sometimes, it just doesn't make sense.Good luck!

and your question is?

Fossil watches have an 11 year warranty. Any jeweler can replace the battery. If that doesn't solve the problem and you registered the watch or still have the receipt call 1-800-TICTOC1 for repair.

sr920 is the size of battery of your watch.

Why cant i get " 1 " simple answer!
what size is required for the fossil am 3695?"i do not want to download anymore aps

I would take the item to your local watch repair shop, they have the proper tools to do a quick fast job while you wait and make sure it is a proper fit.

Thanks for contacting Fossil.
The only way to know the battery size is to pull out the old one. It might also be in your manual. It might be on the outside of the watch.
If battery is missing, then you will have to measure the cavity and match it against a battery chart.
Best wishes.

I have looked at their web site and although it is one of the most helpful sites about, it is hard to locate instructions for individual watches.


If you can't get any help from your supplier, then follow this link to reach their customer care department. They should be able to tell you how to do it. https://www.fossil.com/en_US/shop/customer_care/contactus/fossil-contactus.html

mcdevito75 here, To reove the links you"ll need a special tool called a link remover available on ebay, or you can look for a small watch repair shop in your area for about the same cost of the tool and save on delivery time as shop can do the job right away.

For removing or adding links firstly you will have to remove bracelet pins or screws. In case if there are screw on each side of bracelet - you have to use two screwdrivers simultaneously. In case if there are pins - read the rest:
You may or may not have arrows inside bracelet. Arrows are pointing the way the pins must come out. First you have to find out what sort of pins or even screws are used to keep links together (screw ends and pin end may look similar). Examine both bracelet sides and find the side where pin ends have a groove. Start with a tiny screwdriver and try to unscrew one. If it turns, but doesn't come out, that means you have a pins instead of screws. For removing pins the best would be pin removing tool (approx.5GBP on ebay), but it's possible to do the job without it. Take a hardened steel needle and blunt the sharp end to the approx. size of pin end diameter using any sharpening stone or sandpaper. Get an old towel and fold it to make a soft base for work (like small cusion). As you don't have a special bracelet holder you will need a pair of helping hands to hold the bracelet steady upright. You will need small hammer and pair of flat nose pliers as well. NOTE: The pins MUST be driven split end out first, not vice versa. Make sure that the grooved pin ends are facing towel, not the needle and hammer. Now place the watch on the folded towel, take that needle and smallest hammer you have and start driving the pin out using light blows. Do Not hit hard, as you will brake the needle, scratch your watch or even injure yourself. Watchmakers are using 45 gram hammer, so, calculate your strength of blows. After a few punches check if the split end is coming out and when you see that the pin end is coming out long enough - grab it with pliers and pull the pin out with pliers. When pulling, do NOT turn pliers, as pins tend to brake when twisted. Use firm grip and your strength to pull the pin without twisting. After shortening the bracelet or adding extra link(s) make sure that the pins go back EXACTLY the same way as they came out- the blunt end first in the hole and the split (grooved) end last. Before doing that check remaining pins in bracelet to make sure that you put them back from the right side of bracelet. It is recommended to use plastic hammer to drive pins back in or you will scratch or damage bracelet. If plastic hammer is not available use an old toothbrush handle (or some plastic item) as an absorber. Simply put pin into the hole as deep as you can with your fingers, put the toothbrush handle on split pin end and hit handle, not the pin. Make sure that pin ends are flush with bracelet. If needed- hit few more times. Job done! If you do not want to do it yourself, any jeweler will do it in a matter of few minutes.

mcdevito75 here, You"d need a special tool called a link remover tool available on ebay but, the cost and time for delivery are the same as you looking for a small watch repair shop in your area to remove these links for you, hold onto the se removed links just in case you ever want to re-install them.
