- R 3,799
The Fossil Fenmore Midsize Multifunction watch in reference BQ2412 presents a compelling fusion of refined aesthetics and practical horological functionality. Its 44mm rose gold-tone stainless steel case frames a striking blue satin dial adorned with Roman numerals at the 6 and 12 o'clock positions, creating a distinctive visual signature that balances contemporary style with classical watchmaking tradition. The multifunction quartz movement powers three subdials that track day, date, and 24-hour time, offering genuine utility for the modern wearer who values both form and function.
Finished with a navy blue leather strap that complements the dial's rich colouration, this timepiece achieves a harmonious design statement suitable for both professional and casual contexts. The rose gold case treatment adds warmth and sophistication, whilst the mineral crystal protects the dial and provides clarity. With 5 ATM water resistance (50 metres), the Fenmore is equipped to handle daily exposure to moisture, from handwashing to light rain, though it is not intended for swimming or water sports.

FAQ
Q: What functions does the Fossil Fenmore Multifunction watch offer?
A: The Fenmore BQ2412 features a quartz multifunction movement with three subdials displaying day of the week, date, and 24-hour time. These complications provide practical everyday utility beyond simple timekeeping, making it an excellent choice for those who value functional design.
Q: Is the 44mm case size suitable for smaller wrists?
A: At 44mm, this is classified as a midsize watch that sits between traditional men's and larger contemporary sizes. It wears comfortably on wrist circumferences from approximately 16cm to 20cm. We recommend trying it on at our Mall of the South boutique to assess the fit and proportions on your specific wrist size.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming or showering?
A: With 5 ATM (50 metres) water resistance, the Fenmore is splash-resistant and can withstand handwashing, light rain, and brief exposure to water. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports. We recommend removing the watch before these activities to preserve the integrity of the seals and movement.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Quartz movements typically require battery replacement every 2 to 3 years, depending on usage patterns and the specific functions activated. As an authorised Fossil retailer, Cassim & Co. can replace your battery using genuine components, ensuring continued reliable performance and maintaining your warranty coverage.
Q: What is the difference between rose gold plating and solid rose gold?
A: This watch features a rose gold-tone finish, which is a PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) or plated coating applied to stainless steel. This process provides the warm aesthetic of rose gold at an accessible price point whilst maintaining durability. Solid rose gold watches would typically cost significantly more due to the precious metal content.
Q: Does the leather strap require special care?
A: The navy leather strap should be kept dry when possible and cleaned occasionally with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, perfumes, and lotions, which can degrade leather over time. If the strap shows wear after extended use, we can assist with replacement options at our Johannesburg boutique.
Q: Is this watch covered by an international warranty?
A: Yes, the Fossil Fenmore BQ2412 comes with a 2-year international Fossil warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co. The warranty does not cover normal wear, battery replacement, or damage from misuse or accidents.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and crystal regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and daily residue.
- Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, which can affect quartz movement accuracy, including speakers, mobile phones, and magnetic clasps.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or sudden temperature changes that may affect the movement and seals.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet, as this may compromise water resistance and allow moisture to enter the case.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place when not wearing it, ideally in its original box or a watch case to protect it from dust and scratches.
- Clean the leather strap gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry naturally, avoiding direct heat sources or prolonged water exposure.
- Have the watch serviced every 3 to 5 years by an authorised service centre to ensure the movement, seals, and water resistance remain in optimal condition.
- Replace the battery promptly when the watch stops or shows signs of weak timekeeping, as a depleted battery left in the movement can leak and cause damage.
- Avoid contact with chemicals, solvents, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning agents, which can damage the case finish, crystal, and strap materials.
