Before using your Fossil watch, make sure it is fully charged. Connect the watch to its charger, which is typically a magnetic or pin-based charger that comes with the watch. Place the watch on the charger and ensure it aligns correctly. Allow it to charge for a few hours or until the battery indicator shows that it is fully charged.
