The Fossil Carraway FS6008 presents a refined departure from the conventional round case, offering a distinctive rectangular silhouette that recalls the golden age of Art Deco design. Housed within a polished stainless steel case measuring 30mm in width and a slim 9mm in thickness, this quartz three-hand timepiece delivers understated elegance for those who appreciate classic proportions and timeless aesthetics. The silver-tone dial features bold Roman numeral hour markers and slender blue hands, creating a striking contrast that enhances legibility while maintaining visual sophistication.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for FOSSIL watches, ensuring that every timepiece we offer is backed by genuine warranty protection and authentic provenance. The Carraway FS6008 is powered by a reliable quartz movement, delivering precision timekeeping without the need for manual winding, and is water-resistant to 50 metres (5 ATM), making it suitable for everyday wear including hand washing and light splashes.
The integrated stainless steel bracelet features a classic three-link construction with a secure fold-over clasp, offering both durability and comfort on the wrist. The rectangular case shape, combined with the slim profile, allows this watch to slide effortlessly beneath shirt cuffs, making it an ideal choice for formal and business occasions. The fixed bezel and scratch-resistant construction ensure long-lasting appearance, while the 22mm lug width provides compatibility with aftermarket straps should you wish to personalise the look.

Warranty
- The Fossil Carraway FS6008 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.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, bracelet stretch, or cosmetic deterioration resulting from regular use.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as batteries are considered consumable components with a limited lifespan.
- Water damage resulting from improper use, failure to observe water resistance limitations, or operating the crown while submerged is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Accidental damage, impacts, modifications, or repairs performed by unauthorised service centres will void the warranty.
- To validate your warranty claim, retain your original proof of purchase from Cassim & Co. and contact us for authorised service support.
- Cassim & Co., as an authorised Fossil retailer, can assist with warranty claims and direct you to approved service centres for covered repairs.
Care Guide
- Wipe the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and daily residue.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or sudden temperature changes, as these can affect movement accuracy and seal integrity.
- Do not operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance and allow moisture to enter the case.
- Remove the watch before engaging in high-impact sports, heavy manual labour, or activities involving strong magnetic fields, which can affect quartz movement performance.
- Have the watch inspected and the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker every 2-3 years. Delaying battery replacement can cause battery leakage, which may damage the movement.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. A watch box or soft pouch is ideal to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.
- Although water-resistant to 50 metres, have the seals inspected annually if you regularly expose the watch to water, to ensure continued protection against moisture ingress.
- Clean the bracelet periodically with lukewarm water and a soft brush to remove dirt from between the links, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Avoid contact with chemicals, solvents, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning agents, as these can damage the case finish, crystal, and seals.
