Refined elegance meets everyday wearability in this Fossil Scarlette Mini timepiece. The round stainless steel case measures a delicate 20mm in diameter, perfectly proportioned for a ladies' dress watch that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to evening occasion. A silver sunray dial features applied Roman numerals at twelve and six o'clock, with crystal hour markers lending subtle brilliance across the remaining positions. The fluted bezel adds sculptural dimension, catching light with each movement of the wrist.
At the heart of this timepiece beats a reliable quartz three-hand movement, delivering accuracy without the maintenance demands of mechanical calibres. The polished stainless steel bracelet complements the case finish, its narrow link construction draping comfortably on smaller wrists whilst maintaining structural integrity. Water resistance to 50 metres (5 ATM) ensures this watch withstands daily exposure to moisture, from handwashing to unexpected rain showers, though not suitable for swimming or submersion.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for small wrists?
A: Absolutely. The 20mm case diameter and narrow 10mm bracelet width make the Scarlette Mini ideal for petite wrists, offering proportionate elegance without visual bulk.
Q: Can I swim with this watch?
A: While the 5 ATM (50m) water resistance protects against splashes, handwashing, and rain, we do not recommend swimming or showering with this timepiece. For aquatic activities, consider a diver's watch with higher resistance.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last 2-3 years depending on usage. Our servicing team at Cassim & Co. can replace the battery when needed, testing water resistance seals during the procedure.
Q: Can I change the bracelet to a leather strap?
A: Yes. This model uses a standard 10mm interchangeable strap system. We stock compatible leather and textile straps that can be fitted in minutes, allowing you to customise the look.
Q: Is the crystal scratch-resistant?
A: The mineral crystal offers good scratch resistance for everyday wear. While not as hard as sapphire, it withstands typical desk-diving and daily contact with reasonable durability.
Q: Does this watch have a seconds hand?
A: Yes. The three-hand quartz movement includes hour, minute, and seconds hands, providing precise timekeeping with continuous sweep of the seconds indicator.
Q: What is covered under the Fossil warranty?
A: The 2-year international warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship when purchased from an authorised retailer like Cassim & Co. Normal wear, battery replacement, and accidental damage are excluded.
Warranty
- This Fossil watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase, valid when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions, including movement malfunctions and manufacturing flaws in the case or bracelet.
- The warranty does not cover: normal wear and tear, battery replacement, scratches or cosmetic damage, water damage resulting from misuse (swimming beyond rated depth, operating crown underwater), accidental impact, or damage from unauthorised repairs.
- To make a warranty claim, present your original proof of purchase and the watch to Cassim & Co., and we will facilitate the assessment and repair process through Fossil's authorised service network.
- Warranty service may require the watch to be sent to an official Fossil service centre, with turnaround times varying based on parts availability and the nature of the defect.
- The warranty does not extend the original 2-year period following repairs—coverage remains tied to the original purchase date.
- For non-warranty servicing, battery replacements, and general maintenance, Cassim & Co. offers in-house support for Fossil timepieces at competitive rates.
Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, perspiration, and environmental residue that can dull the polished finish.
- Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, perfumes, lotions, and cleaning agents, which may corrode seals or discolour metal surfaces over time.
- Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or submerged, as moisture can enter the case and damage the movement.
- Store the timepiece in a dry environment away from direct sunlight when not wearing it, preferably in a watch box or pouch to prevent scratches.
- Have the water resistance tested during battery replacement services, as seal integrity diminishes over time and requires periodic inspection.
- If the bracelet becomes loose or links develop play, bring the watch to our service team for adjustment before pins or screws work free and are lost.
- Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (speakers, laptops, magnetic clasps), which can affect quartz movement accuracy temporarily.
