FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Grant FS4813 suitable for swimming?
A: With 50-metre (5 ATM) water resistance, the FS4813 is suitable for splashes, rain, and handwashing, but is not recommended for swimming, diving, or showering. The leather strap should also be kept away from prolonged water exposure to prevent deterioration.
Q: How does the chronograph function work on this watch?
A: The chronograph is operated via the pushers flanking the crown. The top pusher starts and stops the chronograph function, whilst the bottom pusher resets the hands to zero. The three sub-dials track elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours during timing operations.
Q: What battery does the Fossil Grant FS4813 use and how long does it last?
A: The FS4813 uses a standard quartz watch battery that typically lasts 2-3 years depending on chronograph usage. Battery replacement services are available at Cassims & Co., and we recommend using authorised service centres to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: Can I change the leather strap on this watch?
A: Yes, the FS4813 features a standard 22mm lug width, making it compatible with any 22mm replacement strap. Fossil offers interchangeable straps, and our team at Mall of the South can assist with strap changes and recommendations.
Q: Does this watch have illumination for low-light reading?
A: Yes, the hour and minute hands feature luminous coating that charges in ambient light and glows in darkness, allowing for time reading in low-light conditions. The Roman numeral hour markers are not luminous.
Q: What is the difference between quartz chronograph and automatic chronograph?
A: Quartz chronograph movements like the one in the FS4813 are battery-powered, offering superior accuracy (±15 seconds/month), lower maintenance, and more affordable pricing compared to automatic chronographs, which are mechanically wound and typically more expensive.
Q: Is the Fossil Grant FS4813 covered by manufacturer warranty in South Africa?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Fossil retailer, this watch carries a full 2-year international Fossil warranty covering manufacturing defects. Warranty service can be facilitated through our store, ensuring peace of mind with your purchase.

- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, battery replacement, strap deterioration, accidental damage, water damage resulting from misuse or improper sealing after unauthorised service, or damage from improper handling.
- Water Damage: Water resistance is not covered under warranty if the watch has been subjected to impact, crown/pusher operation whilst submerged, or service by non-authorised personnel.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing the leather strap to water, perfumes, and chemicals. Remove the watch before washing hands or applying lotions.
- Leather Care: Wipe the leather strap with a dry soft cloth regularly. Condition the leather occasionally with appropriate leather care products to prevent cracking.
- Water Resistance: Although rated to 50 metres, avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown when the watch is wet or underwater, as this compromises water resistance.
- Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel case with a slightly damp microfibre cloth. Dry thoroughly. For the leather strap, use only a dry cloth.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Extreme temperatures can affect both the movement accuracy and leather strap condition.
- Magnetic Fields: Whilst quartz movements are less susceptible than mechanical movements, avoid prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields from speakers, phones, and magnetic clasps.
- Impact Protection: Remove the watch during high-impact activities or sports to prevent damage to the case, crystal, or movement.
- Battery Replacement: Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker to ensure proper resealing and maintenance of water resistance. Our servicing team at Cassims & Co. can assist with this.
- Regular Servicing: We recommend a service check every 3-4 years to inspect water resistance seals and overall condition, even for quartz timepieces.
