The unidirectional rotating bezel, calibrated for dive timing, frames a black dial adorned with luminous markers that ensure legibility in low-light conditions. A date window at 3 o'clock adds everyday practicality to this water-resistant design, rated to 10 ATM (100 metres).

FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil FS5951 suitable for swimming and snorkelling?
A: Yes, with 10 ATM (100 metres) water resistance, this watch is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational diving. However, it should not be used for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. Avoid operating the crown or pushers whilst underwater, and rinse with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorine.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing in this quartz watch?
A: Fossil quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life under normal usage. When the battery requires replacement, visit our Mall of the South boutique where our servicing team can install a genuine replacement and pressure-test the water resistance seals.
Q: Can I adjust the bracelet size myself?
A: The bracelet features removable links for sizing adjustments. Whilst some customers choose to adjust it themselves using a small screwdriver or pin tool, we recommend visiting our boutique for complimentary professional sizing to ensure proper fit and avoid accidental damage to the bracelet or spring bars.
Q: What does the rotating bezel do on this dive watch?
A: The unidirectional rotating bezel allows you to track elapsed time. Align the triangle marker at 12 o'clock with the minute hand at the start of an activity; as time passes, the bezel remains stationary whilst the minute hand advances, showing elapsed minutes. The unidirectional rotation (counter-clockwise only) is a safety feature preventing accidental time extension during dive timing.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions, or is it purely a sports watch?
A: The two-tone construction and 42mm proportions make the FS5951 remarkably versatile. Whilst rooted in dive-watch design language, the gold-tone accents elevate it beyond pure tool-watch territory, allowing it to complement smart-casual and business-casual attire with ease. Many wearers appreciate its ability to transition from weekend activities to weekday meetings.
Q: Does Fossil offer interchangeable straps for this model?
A: Yes, the FS5951 is compatible with Fossil's quick-release strap system, accepting standard straps. You can personalise the watch with leather, NATO, silicone, or additional metal bracelets. Visit our boutique to explore compatible strap options that suit your style preferences.
Q: What is the difference between ATM and metres in water resistance ratings?
A: ATM (atmospheres) and metres both describe static pressure resistance, not actual diving depth. 10 ATM equals approximately 100 metres of static pressure. This rating means the watch can withstand splashes, showers, swimming, and snorkelling, but dynamic pressure from diving or water sports may exceed this rating. Always observe the manufacturer's usage guidelines for water exposure.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Fossil watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, including movement malfunctions, case defects, crystal defects, and bracelet/strap failures resulting from faulty manufacture.
- Authorised Retailer Requirement: This warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Fossil retailer such as Cassim & Co. Proof of purchase (original receipt or invoice) is required for all warranty claims.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, dings, or cosmetic deterioration resulting from regular use. Battery replacement, bracelet adjustment, and routine servicing are not covered. Water damage resulting from misuse (operating crown underwater, exceeding depth rating, damaged seals) is excluded. Accidental damage, unauthorised modifications, repairs performed by non-authorised service centres, and damage from abuse or negligence void the warranty.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not a permanent condition. Gaskets and seals deteriorate over time and require periodic replacement. Water resistance should be tested after every battery change or case opening. Warranty does not cover water ingress if seals have not been maintained or if the watch has been used beyond its rated depth.
- Claim Process: For warranty service, contact Cassim & Co. with your proof of purchase. We will coordinate with Fossil's authorised service network to assess and repair your timepiece. Turnaround times vary depending on parts availability and the nature of the repair.
- Geographic Validity: The Fossil international warranty is honoured by authorised service centres globally, making it valid for travellers and international customers.
Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperature fluctuations, strong magnetic fields (speakers, magnetic clasps, MRI equipment), or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents.
- Water Exposure: Although rated to 10 ATM, ensure the crown is fully pushed in or screwed down (if applicable) before water exposure. Never operate the crown, pushers, or bezel whilst the watch is wet or submerged. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater or chlorinated pool exposure, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Bracelet Maintenance: Clean the two-tone stainless steel bracelet periodically using a soft brush, lukewarm water, and mild soap. Pay particular attention to link gaps where dirt and skin oils accumulate. Dry completely with a lint-free cloth. The gold-tone PVD coating is durable but can wear with heavy abrasion; avoid scraping against rough surfaces.
- Crystal Care: The mineral crystal is scratch-resistant but not scratch-proof. Avoid contact with hard surfaces, abrasive materials, and gemstones which may mark the crystal. Clean using a microfibre cloth; avoid paper towels which can cause micro-scratches.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. A watch box or soft pouch prevents dust accumulation and accidental impact. If storing long-term, remove the watch from humid environments to protect the movement and case seals.
- Service Intervals: Have your watch inspected every 2-3 years, especially after battery replacement. A professional service includes battery installation, gasket inspection, water resistance testing, and movement cleaning if required. This preventative maintenance extends the lifespan of your timepiece.
- Magnetism: Quartz watches are generally resistant to magnetism, but prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields can affect timekeeping accuracy. If you notice sudden time gain or loss, consult our servicing team for demagnetisation if needed.
