FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Gilmore ES5424 suitable for swimming?
A: While this watch features 5 ATM water resistance, it is not recommended for swimming or submersion. The 5 ATM rating makes it splash-resistant and suitable for handwashing or caught in the rain, but the leather strap should be kept dry to preserve its appearance and longevity. For aquatic activities, we recommend exploring Fossil's sports watch collections with higher water resistance ratings and rubber straps.
Q: Can I replace the strap with other Fossil straps?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Fossil Gilmore ES5424 features a 14mm strap width and is compatible with Fossil's interchangeable strap system. You can easily swap the navy leather strap for other 14mm Fossil straps to create different looks. Our team at Cassim & Co. can assist with strap changes and recommendations for compatible options.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Fossil quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life under normal usage conditions. When the battery requires replacement, bring your watch to our Mall of the South boutique where our servicing team can replace it with a genuine battery while checking the water resistance seals to maintain the watch's integrity.
Q: Is the 28mm case size suitable for small wrists?
A: The 28mm case diameter is considered a classic women's watch size, ideal for small to medium wrists. This compact sizing ensures the watch sits elegantly on the wrist without overwhelming smaller proportions. We encourage you to visit our boutique to try the watch on and ensure the perfect fit for your wrist size.
Q: What does the rose gold finish look like in person?
A: The rose gold PVD coating on the Fossil Gilmore ES5424 presents a warm, pinkish-gold hue that is less yellow than traditional gold and more romantic than standard steel. The PVD coating process ensures durability and colour retention over time. The finish pairs beautifully with the navy blue dial and strap, creating a sophisticated contrast that photographs cannot fully capture. We invite you to view it in person at our showroom.
Q: Does this watch come with the official Fossil warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised Fossil retailer, the Gilmore ES5424 includes a full 2-year international Fossil warranty covering manufacturing defects. The warranty is activated from your date of purchase and includes warranty documentation. This authorised retailer warranty provides peace of mind and access to genuine Fossil servicing.
Q: How should I care for the leather strap?
A: The navy leather strap requires minimal but important care to maintain its appearance. Avoid prolonged water exposure, remove the watch before showering or swimming, and wipe away any moisture immediately. Store the watch away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Over time, leather straps naturally develop character and may require replacement, which we can facilitate with genuine Fossil replacement straps.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Fossil watch carries a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase.

- Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, strap or bracelet wear, scratches to the case or crystal, damage caused by accident or misuse, water damage resulting from improper use or failure to observe water resistance limitations, or damage from unauthorised repairs or modifications.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may be affected by ageing gaskets or accidental impact. Water resistance is not covered under warranty and should be checked periodically.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Remove your watch before showering, bathing, or swimming to protect the leather strap and maintain water resistance integrity.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth. For the leather strap, use a slightly dampened cloth and dry immediately. Never submerge the watch in water for cleaning.
- Water Exposure: While rated to 5 ATM, avoid pressing buttons or operating the crown when the watch is wet. Dry the watch thoroughly if exposed to moisture.
- Leather Strap Care: Keep the leather strap away from perfumes, lotions, and cosmetics which can cause discolouration or degradation. Allow the strap to breathe and avoid wearing it too tightly.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The original Fossil box provides ideal protection.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps) which may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures or sudden temperature changes, which can affect the movement and seals.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the second hand jumps in intervals, bring it to Cassim & Co. for professional battery replacement. Do not attempt to open the case yourself as this will void the warranty.
- Servicing: We recommend a professional inspection every 2-3 years to check water resistance seals, movement function, and overall condition.
- Strap Replacement: Leather straps naturally wear over time. When replacement is needed, visit our boutique for genuine Fossil replacement straps that maintain the watch's aesthetic and quality.
