The Fossil Blue GMT FS6036 is a contemporary interpretation of classic dive watch design, engineered for those who value both functionality and robust aesthetics. Housed in a substantial 46mm stainless steel case with a rotating 24-hour GMT bezel, this timepiece offers dual time zone tracking capability—ideal for international travellers and professionals who maintain connections across continents. The black dial features luminous applied markers and hands, ensuring legibility in low-light conditions, while the date window at 3 o'clock provides practical everyday functionality.
Powered by a reliable quartz movement, the FS6036 delivers precision timekeeping without the maintenance requirements of mechanical calibres. The watch is secured to the wrist with a durable black silicone strap with 24mm lugs, offering comfort during extended wear and easy interchangeability should you wish to personalise your timepiece. Water resistance to 10 ATM (100 metres) makes this watch suitable for swimming and recreational water activities, though not for diving.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for FOSSIL watches, ensuring every timepiece comes with full manufacturer warranty and genuine provenance. The mineral crystal protecting the dial offers scratch resistance for daily wear, while the screw-down crown enhances water resistance integrity. This watch represents Fossil's commitment to accessible, design-forward horology that doesn't compromise on build quality.
Whether you're tracking time in Johannesburg and London simultaneously, or simply appreciate the visual balance of a GMT configuration, the FS6036 delivers exceptional value in the accessible luxury segment.

FAQ
Q: What is the GMT function on this Fossil Blue watch?
A: The GMT complication allows you to track a second time zone simultaneously. The 24-hour rotating bezel and additional GMT hand enable you to read the time in your home time zone while the primary hands display local time—particularly useful for international travel or maintaining contact with colleagues abroad.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and water sports?
A: Yes, with 10 ATM (100 metres) water resistance, the FS6036 is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational water activities. However, it is not rated for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before water exposure.
Q: What type of battery does this watch use and how long does it last?
A: The FS6036 uses a standard quartz watch battery. Typical battery life ranges from 2-3 years depending on usage. Our watch servicing team at Cassim & Co. can replace the battery and pressure-test the case to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: Can I change the strap on this watch?
A: Absolutely. The watch features standard 24mm lugs, making it compatible with a wide range of aftermarket straps including NATO, leather, and other silicone options. Our team can assist with strap changes and recommendations at our Mall of the South boutique.
Q: Is the 46mm case size too large for smaller wrists?
A: The 46mm case is substantial and best suited to medium to large wrists (17cm circumference and above). We recommend trying the watch on in person at our boutique to assess comfort and proportion. The silicone strap and moderate thickness (12-13mm) help maintain wearability despite the diameter.
Q: Does this watch have luminous hands and markers?
A: Yes, the FS6036 features luminous material on the hands and hour markers, ensuring legibility in low-light conditions. The bezel also incorporates a luminous pip at the 12 o'clock position for reference.
Q: What warranty comes with this Fossil Blue watch?
A: This watch carries a 2-year international Fossil warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship when purchased from an authorised retailer like Cassim & Co. The warranty does not cover normal wear, battery replacement, or damage from misuse.

- Clean the silicone strap regularly with mild soap and water to remove perspiration, oils, and debris
