FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil FS5950 suitable for swimming and snorkelling?
A: Yes, with a 10 ATM (100-metre) water resistance rating, this watch is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational water sports. It is not recommended for scuba diving or high-impact water activities. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before water exposure.
Q: What type of movement powers this watch?
A: The FS5950 features a reliable quartz movement, which provides accurate timekeeping and requires minimal maintenance. Battery replacement is typically needed every 2-3 years, depending on usage. Our service team at Cassim & Co. can assist with battery replacements.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized to your wrist at our Mall of the South boutique. We offer complimentary bracelet adjustment with purchase, and our team will ensure a perfect fit before you leave the store.
Q: What is the purpose of the rotating bezel?
A: The unidirectional rotating bezel is a classic dive watch feature used to track elapsed time underwater or for any timing function. It rotates counter-clockwise only as a safety measure to prevent accidental over-estimation of remaining air supply when diving.
Q: Is this watch covered by a manufacturer warranty?
A: Yes, the Fossil FS5950 includes a 2-year international Fossil warranty when purchased from an authorised retailer like Cassim & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, but does not cover normal wear, battery replacement, or damage from misuse.
Q: How do I care for the gold-tone finish?
A: The gold-tone PVD coating is durable, but should be protected from harsh chemicals, abrasives, and impacts. Clean the watch regularly with a soft, damp cloth, and avoid contact with perfumes, solvents, or chlorinated water. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Q: Does this watch have luminous hands and markers?
A: Yes, the hands and hour markers are treated with luminous material for enhanced legibility in low-light conditions. The luminescence is charged by exposure to light and will glow in darkness for a limited period.

Care Guide
- Water Resistance: Rated to 10 ATM (100 metres). Suitable for swimming and snorkelling. Not suitable for scuba diving. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposure to water.
- Battery Replacement: Quartz movement requires battery replacement every 2-3 years. Always have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker to maintain water resistance integrity.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use warm soapy water and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives.
- Crown Care: Do not operate the crown or push-buttons while the watch is wet or submerged. This can compromise the water resistance seals.
- Magnetic Fields: Avoid prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields (speakers, mobile devices, magnetic clasps), which can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Storage: Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use the original box or a watch case to protect it from dust and scratches when not in use.
- Chemical Exposure: Avoid contact with perfumes, solvents, detergents, cosmetics, and chlorinated water, which can damage the PVD coating and seals.
- Impact Protection: While built to withstand daily wear, avoid subjecting your watch to severe shocks or impacts, which can damage the movement or crystal.
- Regular Servicing: We recommend a professional service check every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and water resistance. Contact Cassim & Co. for servicing enquiries.
