The Fossil Minimalist FS6182 exemplifies contemporary design philosophy: clean lines, uncluttered aesthetics, and timeless two-tone execution. This 44mm round-case timepiece pairs a striking black sunray dial with a two-tone stainless steel bracelet, blending brushed silver and polished gold-tone links for a sophisticated everyday statement. Gold-tone hour markers and hands catch the light against the dark dial, while a discreet date window at 3 o'clock adds practical functionality without disrupting the visual balance.
At the heart of this watch lies a reliable Japanese quartz movement, delivering accuracy and low-maintenance performance. The three-hand display—hours, minutes, and seconds—is framed by a slim gold-tone bezel that echoes the bracelet's warm accent, creating cohesive visual harmony. Water-resistant to 50 metres, this timepiece withstands everyday splashes and brief immersion, making it suitable for daily wear in all conditions short of swimming or diving.
The 22mm two-tone bracelet features a push-button deployment clasp, ensuring secure wear and effortless on-wrist adjustment. Its alternating silver and gold-tone links offer versatility, pairing equally well with casual attire and tailored business wear. The Minimalist collection has earned recognition for its ability to translate essential horological design into accessible, wearable form—this FS6182 variant stands as a prime example of that ethos.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or water sports?
A: The FS6182 is water-resistant to 50 metres, which covers everyday splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as handwashing. It is not rated for swimming, showering, or water sports. For aquatic activities, we recommend a watch with at least 100-metre water resistance.
Q: What type of battery does this watch use, and how often will it need replacing?
A: The Minimalist FS6182 is powered by a standard quartz battery, typically offering 2-3 years of life depending on usage. When replacement is needed, our servicing team at Cassims & Co. can fit a new battery and pressure-test the seal to maintain water resistance.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the two-tone stainless steel bracelet can be professionally resized by removing or adding links. Visit our Mall of the South boutique for complimentary sizing assessment, or contact us to arrange bracelet adjustment if purchased online.
Q: Is this watch suitable as a gift?
A: Absolutely. The Minimalist's clean design and versatile two-tone finish make it an excellent gift for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, or professional milestones. We offer gift packaging and can include a personalised message upon request.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes. When purchased from Cassims & Co., an authorised Fossil retailer, this watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Proof of purchase is required for warranty claims.
Q: What is the lug-to-lug measurement of this watch?
A: Fossil does not publish an official lug-to-lug dimension for this model, but the 44mm case diameter suggests a lug-to-lug length of approximately 50-52mm, suitable for wrists 16cm and above. We recommend trying the watch on in-store for the best fit assessment.
Q: Can I replace the bracelet with a leather or NATO strap?
A: Yes. The watch features 22mm lugs, making it compatible with aftermarket 22mm straps. We stock a range of leather and textile straps that can be fitted to this case, allowing you to customise the look to suit different occasions.
Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 2-year international Fossil warranty from the date of purchase, valid when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover: normal wear and tear, battery replacement, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case, crystal or bracelet, damage caused by accidents, misuse, or improper handling, water damage resulting from failure to observe water-resistance limits or from operating the crown/pushers while wet, unauthorised repairs or modifications, or loss or theft of the watch.
- To claim under warranty, proof of purchase from an authorised retailer is required. Retain your original receipt or invoice.
- Warranty service is provided through Fossil's authorised service network. Contact Cassims & Co. for assistance with warranty claims and service arrangements.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove perspiration, dust, and oils.
- For deeper cleaning of the stainless steel bracelet, use warm soapy water and a soft brush, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Ensure the crown is pushed in or screwed down before any water contact.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals (perfumes, solvents, cleaning agents), which can affect timekeeping and finish.
- Have the battery replaced promptly when the watch stops or shows erratic timekeeping. A depleted battery left in the movement can leak and cause internal damage.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. A watch box or pouch will protect it from scratches and dust.
- If the watch has not been worn for an extended period, wind or set it before wearing to ensure the movement is engaged.
- We recommend a professional service every 3-4 years to maintain water resistance seals and movement performance.
