FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Carlie ES5272 suitable for swimming?
A: The Carlie ES5272 has a water resistance rating of 50 metres (5 ATM), which makes it suitable for light splashes and brief immersion in water, such as handwashing or caught in the rain. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or any water sports, as prolonged water exposure may compromise the seals and affect the movement.
Q: What type of battery does this watch use and how often will it need replacing?
A: The Fossil Carlie ES5272 uses a standard quartz watch battery. Typically, a quartz battery lasts between 2 to 3 years depending on usage. When replacement is needed, visit us at our Mall of the South boutique where our team can replace the battery professionally, ensuring the water resistance seals are properly maintained.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the gold-tone stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by removing or adding links to achieve the perfect fit. Our expert team at Cassim & Co. provides complimentary bracelet sizing with your purchase. Simply visit our boutique and we'll ensure the watch sits comfortably on your wrist.
Q: Is this watch genuine and does it come with a warranty?
A: Absolutely. As an authorised Fossil retailer, Cassim & Co. guarantees that every watch we sell is 100% authentic. The Carlie ES5272 comes with a full 2-year international Fossil warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Your warranty card will be stamped and dated at the time of purchase.
Q: What is the case thickness of the Carlie ES5272?
A: While the exact case thickness is not published by Fossil for this model, the Carlie collection is designed with a slim, elegant profile that sits comfortably on the wrist without being overly bulky. The 30mm diameter ensures a proportionate, feminine aesthetic suitable for daily wear.
Q: Will the gold-tone finish wear off over time?
A: The gold-tone finish is applied through a plating process over stainless steel. With proper care—avoiding harsh chemicals, perfumes applied directly to the watch, and regular cleaning—the finish will maintain its lustre for many years. Normal wear may cause minor dulling over time, but this can be minimised with appropriate care.
Q: Do you offer nationwide delivery in South Africa?
A: Yes, Cassim & Co. offers secure nationwide delivery across South Africa. Your Fossil Carlie will be carefully packaged and shipped with full insurance. Alternatively, you're welcome to collect your watch in person from our boutique at Mall of the South in Johannesburg, where you can also explore our full range of timepieces.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove perspiration, oils, and dust that can dull the gold-tone finish.
- Water Exposure: While rated to 50 metres, avoid prolonged water contact. Remove your watch before swimming, showering, or engaging in water sports. Always ensure the crown is pushed in completely to maintain water resistance.
- Chemical Avoidance: Keep your watch away from perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning agents, and chlorinated water, as these can damage the plating and compromise the seals.
- Storage: When not wearing your Carlie, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use the original Fossil presentation box or a dedicated watch case to prevent scratches.
- Magnetic Fields: Avoid placing your watch near strong magnetic sources such as speakers, mobile phones, or magnetic clasps, as these can affect the quartz movement's accuracy.
- Regular Servicing: Have your watch inspected every 2-3 years, especially when replacing the battery. Our team will check the seals, clean the movement, and ensure optimal performance.
- Bracelet Care: The gold-tone stainless steel bracelet can accumulate dirt between the links. Gently clean with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Impact Protection: While built for daily wear, avoid subjecting your watch to heavy shocks or impacts that could damage the movement or crystal.
