The Fossil Carlie Mini ES5295 is a refined expression of contemporary femininity, combining delicate proportions with rose gold-tone elegance. This 28mm quartz timepiece features a silver sunray dial framed by a sparkling crystal-set bezel, creating a sophisticated interplay of light and texture.

As an authorised retailer of FOSSIL watches, Cassims & Co. is proud to present this elegant timepiece from Fossil's celebrated Carlie collection. The three-hand quartz movement ensures reliable timekeeping, while the 5 ATM water resistance provides practical durability for everyday wear.

FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Carlie ES5295 suitable for daily wear?
A: Absolutely. The Carlie Mini ES5295 is designed for everyday elegance, with a durable stainless steel case, reliable quartz movement, and 5 ATM water resistance that protects against splashes and brief immersion. The 28mm case diameter offers comfortable all-day wear without overwhelming the wrist.
Q: What is LiteHide™ leather and how does it differ from traditional leather?
A: LiteHide™ is Fossil's sustainable leather alternative that replicates the look and feel of traditional leather whilst using fewer resources in production. It offers the same comfort and aesthetic appeal as conventional leather straps, with reduced environmental impact and excellent durability.
Q: Can I swim or shower whilst wearing this watch?
A: Whilst the ES5295 features 5 ATM (50 metre) water resistance, this rating is designed to protect against splashes, rain, and brief immersion only. We do not recommend swimming, showering, or any water sports whilst wearing this timepiece, as the leather strap may be damaged by prolonged water exposure.

A: Fossil quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life under normal use. When replacement is needed, visit our Mall of the South boutique where our team can replace the battery whilst checking the watch's water resistance seals and overall condition.
Q: Are the crystals on the bezel genuine diamonds?
A: The sparkling stones set into the bezel are crystals, not diamonds. They provide beautiful brilliance and sparkle whilst keeping the watch accessible and practical for everyday wear.
Q: Can the strap be replaced or adjusted?
A: Yes, the leather strap can be professionally replaced if needed. Our team at Cassims & Co. can assist with strap adjustments, sizing, and replacements to ensure the perfect fit. Standard watch straps with 14mm lug width are compatible with this model.
Q: Does this watch come with the official Fossil warranty?
A: Yes. As an authorised Fossil retailer, all watches purchased from Cassims & Co. include the full 2-year international Fossil warranty, covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship from the date of purchase.
