Description
The Fossil Carlie Mini ES5068 is a refined quartz timepiece that brings understated elegance to the modern woman's wrist. Housed in a polished rose gold-tone stainless steel case measuring 28mm in diameter and just 7mm thin, this watch offers a delicate silhouette that feels equally at home in the boardroom or at brunch. The soft grey sunray dial is adorned with rose gold-tone Roman numeral hour markers at XII, III, VI, and IX, complemented by sleek index markers and matching rose gold-tone hands, all protected beneath scratch-resistant mineral crystal.
Powered by a reliable quartz movement, the Carlie Mini ES5068 delivers precision timekeeping without the need for daily winding. The genuine grey leather strap, measuring 12mm at the lugs and tapering to 10mm at the clasp, is secured with a rose gold-tone buckle and distinctive lug bars that echo the case's elegant aesthetic. Water-resistant to 30 metres, this watch is suitable for everyday wear but should be removed before swimming or showering.

FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Carlie Mini ES5068 suitable for small wrists?
A: Yes, absolutely. With a case diameter of just 28mm and a thickness of 7mm, the Carlie Mini ES5068 is specifically designed for smaller wrists. The 12mm strap width ensures proportional comfort, and the watch can be professionally sized at our Johannesburg showrooms for a perfect fit.
Q: Can I wear this watch while washing my hands or in the shower?
A: The Carlie Mini ES5068 has a water resistance rating of 30 metres (3 ATM), which means it can withstand splashes from handwashing or light rain. However, we strongly recommend removing the watch before showering, swimming, or any water activities to preserve both the movement and the leather strap.
Q: How often will the battery need to be replaced?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2 to 3 years depending on usage. When your Carlie Mini requires a battery replacement, bring it to Cassims & Co. and our watch servicing team will replace it with a genuine battery while checking the seals and water resistance.
Q: Is the leather strap replaceable if it wears out?
A: Yes, the strap is fully replaceable. Fossil offers genuine replacement straps with the reference AES5068, which are 12mm wide and available in various colours. Our team can order authentic Fossil straps for you or fit compatible alternatives if you wish to change the look of your watch.
Q: Does this watch come with an official Fossil warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Fossil retailer, the Carlie Mini ES5068 comes with a full 2-year international Fossil warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty certificate will be provided at the time of purchase.
Q: What is the difference between mineral crystal and sapphire crystal?
A: Mineral crystal, as used on the Carlie Mini ES5068, is a hardened glass that offers good scratch resistance for everyday wear and is more affordable than sapphire. While sapphire crystal is harder and more scratch-resistant, mineral crystal is perfectly suitable for a lifestyle watch and can be polished if minor scratches occur.
Q: Will the rose gold finish wear off over time?
A: The rose gold tone is a PVD or electroplated finish over stainless steel. With proper care and avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasives, and impacts, the finish should remain beautiful for many years. Regular gentle cleaning and professional servicing will help maintain its appearance.
Warranty
- This watch carries a 2-year international Fossil warranty from the date of purchase, valid when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches to the case, crystal, or strap

- Water damage resulting from improper use beyond the stated water resistance rating is not covered
- To claim warranty service, you must present the original proof of purchase and warranty certificate

- The warranty does not extend the original warranty period if repairs are made
- Cassims & Co., as an authorised Fossil retailer, will facilitate all warranty claims and can advise on the warranty process
Care guide
- Remove your watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports, as the 30-metre water resistance is suitable only for splashes and brief submersion
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products
- Wipe the case and crystal gently with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints and daily residue
- Clean the leather strap sparingly with a slightly damp cloth, and allow it to dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight
- Store your Fossil Carlie Mini in a cool, dry place when not wearing it, preferably in its original box or a watch case to prevent scratches
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when the watch stops or shows signs of weak timekeeping, typically every 2 to 3 years
- Avoid wearing the watch during high-impact activities or sports, as shocks can damage the quartz movement
- If the leather strap becomes wet, allow it to air-dry naturally at room temperature and consider applying a leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking
- Bring your watch to Cassims & Co. for professional inspection and servicing every few years to ensure water resistance seals remain intact and the movement functions optimally
- Never attempt to open the case back yourself, as this can compromise water resistance and void your warranty
