I have a F ossil Arkitekt (fs-2990) that is a
The knob that adjusts the time is called the crown, and it will have a stem attached to it. You will need to remove crown and stem together.
If it's a screw-down crown, unscrew it.
Examine the watch mechanism very carefully while pulling out the crown (as if you were adjusting the time) and pushing it back, What you are looking for is basically anything that moves. If you do see parts of the mechanism move, look very carefully around that area for an arrow mark impressed in the metal pointing to a small dip in one of the metal parts.Often, this is on a tiny lever but not all manufacturers bother with the arrow.
Ensure that the crown is pushed back to it's normal position. Put a tiny amount of pressure on the dip (a needle is ideal for this), and carefully attempt to pull out crown and stem.You may need to apply slightly more pressure to get a result, but please take care not to press too hard or you may damage the mechanism.
Hopefully, that should sort it out. To refix the numeral bar, I'd recommend super glue - but you only need a tiny, tiny amount. Apply it with the tip of a needle and you shouldn't go far wrong.
Once you're looking at reassembly, you should be able to reinsert the crown and stem without depressing the dip but do it gently and don't force it - it may need a slight turn to relocate properly before it slides back in.
I hope this was easy to follow - get back in touch if you get stuck.
I sent my Fossil watch for a new battery to location in Texas. How can I track it?
Track your package through the company you used to send it: FedEx and UPS typically provide tracking information when you send it, and you can track it with the number provided. If you used USPS, if you selected the tracking option when you mailed it, again, use the tracking number. All these vendors have websites, with clear information about tracking. If you dropped it in the mailbox, you cannot track it.
