Elevate Your Style with Fossil Automatic Watches in Australia

We believe a watch should be more than just a tool to tell time, and therefore, it is crafted thoughtfully. Our automatic watches are the perfect blend of vintage inspiration and modern engineering. Whether you are planning an official meeting or a weekend getaway, Fossil is your go-to destination to buy automatic watches online.


How Do Automatic Watches Work?

Unlike traditional quartz watches, an automatic watch operates without a battery.  It utilizes a complex internal mechanism of mainsprings and gears. It has a weighted rotor inside the watch that spins every time your arm moves, winding the mainspring. This powers the watch. These watches are a brilliant display of horological engineering that seamlessly connects the wearer to their timepiece.

The Signature Look: Skeleton Dials and Exposed Gears

Fossil is renowned for its skeleton dial watches. By removing the traditional solid watch face, our timepieces reveal the intricate inner engineering. Watching the exposed gears tick in real-time is not just functional but a mesmerizing conversation starter. Explore our automatic watches today to find your new signature accessory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
 

1. Do Fossil automatic watches need a battery?

No, Fossil automatic watches do not require a battery. They are self-winding timepieces powered by kinetic energy. The natural motion of your arm and wrist as you go about your day winds the internal mainspring, keeping the watch ticking smoothly.

2. How long will an automatic watch run if I take it off?
Most Fossil automatic watches have a "power reserve" of approximately 36 to 40 hours. This means if you take your watch off, it will continue to keep time for about a day and a half before it stops. Once you put it back on, your movement will start the winding process again.

3. Do I need to manually wind my automatic watch?
If you wear your automatic watch every day, your natural movement will keep it fully wound. However, if you have not worn the watch for a few days and it has stopped, you can restart it by turning the crown on the side. Gently wind the crown clockwise about 20 to 30 times before you put it on.

4. Are Fossil automatic watches water-resistant?
Yes, most Fossil automatic watches have standard water resistance, often starting at 5 ATM. This means they can handle splashes, rain, and brief water exposure. However, we recommend avoiding swimming, showering, or diving with your watch to protect the mechanical components and leather straps. Always check the specific ATM rating of your chosen model.

5. What is the difference between an automatic watch and a mechanical watch?
All automatic watches are a type of mechanical watch. A standard "mechanical watch" requires you to turn the crown by hand every day to wind the mainspring, while an "automatic watch" is a mechanical watch with a rotor. The rotor spins with your wrist movement. It winds the mainspring, so you do not need to wind it by hand.
