Warranty
- Manufacturer Warranty: The Fossil Bronson FS5919 is covered by a 2-year international Fossil warranty from the date of purchase, valid when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. This includes faults in the movement, case, crystal, and original strap or bracelet that arise due to factory defects.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, dings, or cosmetic damage. Battery replacement, strap wear, water damage resulting from improper use or failure to ensure the crown is secured, and damage caused by accidents, misuse, or unauthorised repairs are also excluded.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may diminish over time due to ageing of gaskets and seals. It is the owner's responsibility to have water resistance tested periodically, especially after battery replacement or any servicing.
- Warranty Validation: To claim warranty service, you must present proof of purchase from an authorised Fossil retailer. Retain your original receipt or invoice as evidence of purchase date and authorised dealer status.
- Service and Repairs: Warranty service must be performed by an authorised Fossil service centre or through Cassim & Co. Unauthorised repairs or modifications will void the warranty immediately.
Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals, as these can affect the movement's accuracy and damage the case or strap materials.
- Leather Strap Care: Keep the leather strap dry and clean. Avoid prolonged water exposure, as moisture can cause discolouration, stiffening, and premature wear. If the strap becomes wet, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air-dry away from direct heat sources.
- Cleaning: Wipe the stainless steel case and crystal regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and oils. For the leather strap, use a slightly damp cloth if necessary, and apply a leather conditioner sparingly every few months to maintain suppleness.
- Water Resistance Maintenance: Ensure the crown is always fully pushed in and never operate it when the watch is wet or submerged. After exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Have the water resistance tested annually, especially after battery replacement.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump erratically, have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker at Cassim & Co. to ensure the case is properly resealed and water resistance is maintained.
- Storage: When not in use, store your Fossil Bronson in a cool, dry place, ideally in its original box or a watch case, away from direct sunlight and humidity to preserve both the movement and the leather strap.
- Servicing: For optimal longevity, we recommend having your quartz watch inspected every 3-5 years by a professional to check the movement, seals, and overall condition.
