The Fossil Blue Dive FS5946 delivers classic dive watch aesthetics with contemporary eco-conscious materials. Housed in a 42mm stainless steel case, this timepiece features a striking green sunray dial complemented by a matching unidirectional rotating bezel—hallmarks of authentic dive watch heritage. The dial is appointed with luminous circular and rectangular hour markers, a date window at 3 o'clock, and distinctive sword-style hands, ensuring legibility in all conditions. Water-resistant to 100 metres (10 ATM / 330 feet), this watch is equipped for swimming and snorkelling, though not suitable for scuba diving.
Powering the FS5946 is a reliable Japanese quartz three-hand date movement, delivering precision timekeeping with minimal maintenance. The tan LiteHide™ leather strap—an innovative, eco-friendly leather alternative—pairs beautifully with the green dial, creating a versatile aesthetic that transitions effortlessly from desk to weekend. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for FOSSIL watches, ensuring every timepiece comes with full manufacturer warranty and after-sales support.

FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Blue Dive FS5946 suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, with 100 metres (10 ATM) water resistance, this watch is suitable for swimming, showering, and snorkelling. However, it is not recommended for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before water exposure.
Q: What is LiteHide™ leather and how does it differ from traditional leather?
A: LiteHide™ is Fossil's proprietary eco-friendly leather alternative that reduces water usage and waste during production. It offers similar aesthetics and comfort to traditional leather whilst being more sustainable. The strap is durable, develops a natural patina over time, and is suitable for everyday wear.
Q: How often does the quartz movement require battery replacement?
A: Fossil quartz movements typically run for 2-3 years on a single battery, depending on usage patterns. When battery replacement is needed, visit Cassim & Co. at Mall of the South, where our team can replace the battery whilst checking the water resistance seals to maintain the watch's integrity.
Q: Can I replace the leather strap with a different material?
A: Yes, the FS5946 uses a standard 22mm strap width, making it compatible with a wide range of aftermarket straps including NATO, rubber, or stainless steel bracelets. Our team at Cassim & Co. can assist with strap selection and fitting.
Q: Does the green dial have luminous material for low-light visibility?
A: Yes, the hour markers and hands feature luminous material that charges in ambient light and glows in darkness, ensuring legibility in low-light conditions. This is a standard feature in dive-inspired watches for enhanced functionality.
Q: Is this watch covered by an international warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from an authorised retailer like Cassim & Co., the Fossil Blue Dive FS5946 carries a 2-year international Fossil warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover normal wear, battery replacement, or damage from misuse.
Q: What is the purpose of the rotating bezel on this dive watch?
A: The unidirectional rotating bezel is a traditional dive watch feature used to track elapsed time underwater. The bezel only rotates counter-clockwise to prevent accidental extension of dive time, a safety feature inherited from professional dive watches. On this model, it also adds to the classic dive watch aesthetic.

Care Guide
- Water Resistance Maintenance: Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before exposure to water. Have water resistance tested annually if the watch is regularly exposed to moisture.
- Cleaning: Wipe the stainless steel case with a soft, lint-free cloth. For the leather strap, use a slightly damp cloth and avoid submerging in water. Allow the strap to dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Leather Strap Care: Avoid prolonged exposure to water, perfumes, and chemicals which can damage the leather. Remove the watch before showering or swimming to extend strap life. A natural patina will develop over time, which is normal for quality leather.
- Crown Operation: When setting the time or date, unscrew the crown gently, pull to the appropriate position, make adjustments, then push in and screw down firmly to maintain water resistance.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the second hand begins jumping in intervals, visit an authorised service centre for battery replacement. This ensures proper resealing and water resistance testing.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, magnets, and extreme temperatures. Keep it in a watch box or pouch to prevent scratches.
- Bezel Care: Clean the rotating bezel periodically with a soft brush and water to remove any debris that may affect smooth rotation. Ensure it clicks firmly into each position.
- Servicing: While quartz movements require minimal maintenance, we recommend a service check every 3-4 years to ensure optimal performance and water resistance integrity.
