The Fossil Grant FS5151 represents the perfect fusion of American vintage aesthetics and contemporary chronograph functionality. This striking timepiece features a deep blue sunray dial adorned with contrasting white Roman numeral hour markers and three functional subdials, creating a visual depth that catches the eye whether in the boardroom or at a weekend gathering. The 44mm stainless steel case with a distinctive blue ion-plated bezel provides modern contrast against the warm cognac leather strap, making this watch equally at home with a tailored suit or casual denim.
Powered by a reliable Japanese quartz chronograph movement, the FS5151 delivers precision timekeeping alongside stopwatch functionality for those who appreciate both form and function. The three-register chronograph layout offers 60-second, 60-minute, and 24-hour subdials, whilst the date window positioned at 4 o'clock maintains the dial's balanced symmetry. Water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 metres), this watch can withstand splashes and brief immersion, though it is not suitable for swimming or diving.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for Fossil, ensuring that every timepiece comes with full manufacturer warranty and authenticity guarantees. The 22mm quick-release leather strap allows for easy customisation, and our watch servicing and repairs team can assist with battery replacements and strap changes to keep your Grant looking immaculate for years to come.

FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Grant FS5151 suitable for swimming?
A: Whilst the watch has 5 ATM (50 metres) water resistance, this rating means it can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as handwashing. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or water sports. The chronograph pushers should never be operated underwater, as this can compromise the seal and allow water ingress.
Q: How long will the battery last in this quartz chronograph?
A: Fossil quartz chronograph movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life under normal use. Frequent use of the chronograph function may reduce battery life slightly. When replacement is needed, our servicing team at Cassim & Co. can fit a genuine replacement battery whilst checking the water resistance seals.
Q: Can I change the leather strap myself?
A: Yes, the FS5151 features a 22mm quick-release strap system that allows you to swap straps without any tools. Simply pull the small lever on the spring bar whilst sliding the strap away from the case. Any standard 22mm watch strap will be compatible, giving you endless customisation options.
Q: What do the subdials on this chronograph display?
A: The three subdials serve specific chronograph functions: the subdial at 9 o'clock tracks elapsed seconds up to 60, the subdial at 6 o'clock displays the date, and the subdial at 3 o'clock tracks chronograph minutes. The main seconds hand sweeps continuously around the central dial to show running seconds.
Q: Will this 44mm case size fit my wrist comfortably?
A: The 44mm case diameter is considered a contemporary large size that suits wrist circumferences from approximately 16cm to 21cm. The relatively slim profile and tapered leather strap help the watch sit comfortably without excessive overhang. We recommend trying it on at our Mall of the South boutique to ensure the perfect fit for your wrist.
Q: Does the blue ion plating wear off over time?
A: The blue ion plating on the bezel is applied using a physical vapour deposition process that bonds the coating to the stainless steel. With normal wear, this coating is quite durable. However, significant impacts or abrasion against hard surfaces may cause scratches or wear over time. Avoiding contact with rough surfaces will help maintain the finish.
Q: Is this watch covered by an international warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised Fossil retailer, the FS5151 comes with a 2-year international Fossil warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty card will be stamped and dated at the time of purchase, and is honoured at authorised Fossil service centres worldwide.
Warranty
- This Fossil Grant FS5151 is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised Fossil retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty specifically excludes: normal wear and tear, battery replacement, leather strap deterioration, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case or crystal, water damage resulting from misuse or failure to observe water resistance limitations, damage caused by accidents or impacts, unauthorised modifications or repairs, and damage from magnetic fields or extreme temperatures.
- To claim under warranty, the original purchase receipt and completed warranty card with authorised retailer stamp are required.
- The warranty is valid internationally at authorised Fossil service centres and does not affect your statutory rights under South African consumer protection law.
- Battery replacement is considered a consumable service and is not covered under the manufacturer warranty, though Cassim & Co. offers battery replacement services at competitive rates.
- Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may be compromised over time through normal wear. Gasket replacement to maintain water resistance is not covered under warranty but is recommended every 2-3 years as preventative maintenance.
- For warranty service or general maintenance enquiries, contact Cassim & Co. with your proof of purchase, and our team will arrange the necessary service through Fossil's authorised service network.
Care Guide
- Store your Fossil watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not being worn, preferably in the original box or a watch case.
- Clean the stainless steel case and blue bezel regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth followed by immediate drying.
- The leather strap should be kept dry whenever possible. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, excessive perspiration, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these can cause discolouration and deterioration of the leather.
- If the leather strap becomes wet, allow it to air-dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources such as hairdryers or radiators.
- Condition the leather strap every few months with a leather conditioner specifically designed for smooth leather to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers when the watch is wet or underwater, as this can compromise water resistance and allow moisture to enter the case.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps), or harsh chemicals.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the watch stops or the chronograph functions become sluggish. Our servicing team can replace the battery and test water resistance seals during the service.
- Although water-resistant to 5 ATM, have the gaskets and seals inspected every 2-3 years to maintain water resistance integrity.
- Avoid impacts and knocks against hard surfaces, particularly to the mineral crystal and ion-plated bezel, which can scratch or chip.
- When not wearing the watch for extended periods, ensure the crown is pushed fully in to the closed position to maintain water resistance.
