FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: The Fossil Carlie Mini ES4700 has 5 ATM (50 metres) water resistance, which means it can withstand splashes, brief immersion in water, and rain. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. The leather strap should also be kept away from prolonged water exposure to maintain its quality and appearance.
Q: What battery does this watch use and how long does it last?
A: This watch uses a standard quartz watch battery. Battery life typically ranges from 2 to 3 years depending on usage. When replacement is needed, we recommend visiting our boutique or an authorised service centre to ensure proper installation and maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: Can I change the strap on this watch?
A: Yes, the Carlie Mini ES4700 features a 12mm interchangeable strap system with quick-release spring bars, allowing you to easily swap straps without tools. Fossil offers a range of compatible 12mm straps in various colours and materials to personalise your timepiece.
Q: What is the case thickness and will it fit comfortably under a shirt cuff?
A: While the exact case thickness is not specified by Fossil for this model, the Carlie Mini collection is designed as a dress watch with a slim profile. The 28mm case diameter and three-hand movement ensure a relatively thin case that slides easily under shirt cuffs and formal wear.
Q: Does the mother-of-pearl dial change colour in different lighting?
A: Yes, the black mother-of-pearl dial exhibits natural iridescence, displaying subtle shifts in colour and lustre as light hits it from different angles. This organic material creates a unique depth and shimmer that makes each dial slightly distinctive, adding to the watch's elegant character.
Q: Is this watch delivered in original Fossil packaging?
A: Yes, the Fossil Carlie Mini ES4700 is supplied in official Fossil presentation packaging, complete with warranty documentation, instruction manual, and authenticity certification. This makes it an ideal gift and ensures you receive a genuine product from an authorised retailer.
Q: What is the lug-to-lug measurement of this watch?
A: Fossil does not publish the lug-to-lug measurement for the Carlie Mini ES4700 in their official specifications. However, given the 28mm case diameter, the compact proportions are designed specifically for smaller wrists and typically measure approximately 32-34mm lug-to-lug, ensuring a comfortable fit without overhang.

- Damage caused by accidents, impacts, improper handling, unauthorised repairs, or modifications voids the warranty.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth regularly to remove fingerprints, oils, and dust.
- Keep the leather strap away from water, perfumes, lotions, and solvents, as these can cause discolouration, stiffening, and premature deterioration.
- When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields from speakers, mobile phones, or magnetic clasps, as this may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself, as this will void the warranty and may compromise water resistance.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre when the watch stops or timekeeping becomes erratic.
- During battery replacement, request a water resistance pressure test to ensure the gaskets remain effective.
- Remove the watch before engaging in contact sports, heavy manual work, or activities involving impact or vibration.
- Clean the leather strap occasionally with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely before wearing.
- If the strap becomes wet, dry it immediately with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Consider rotating between multiple straps to extend the life of each and allow natural oils to dissipate.
- The mother-of-pearl dial is a natural material; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage its iridescent surface.
