FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for daily wear?
A: Absolutely. The Fossil Jacqueline ES3843 is designed as a versatile everyday timepiece. Its slim 7mm profile ensures comfort during extended wear, while the durable stainless steel case and quality leather strap are built to withstand regular use. The neutral white dial and rose gold accents make it suitable for both professional and casual settings.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: No. With a water resistance rating of 3 ATM (30 metres), the ES3843 is splash-resistant and can handle hand washing or light rain, but it should not be submerged for swimming, showering, or water sports. For aquatic activities, we recommend a watch with at least 10 ATM water resistance.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Fossil quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life under normal use. When replacement is needed, visit Cassims & Co. at our Mall of the South location, where our watch technicians can replace the battery and test the watch to ensure proper function and water resistance integrity.
Q: Can I change the strap on this watch?
A: Yes. The ES3843 features a standard 14mm strap width with quick-release spring bars, making strap changes simple and tool-free. Fossil offers a wide range of 14mm interchangeable straps in various materials and colours, allowing you to customise the watch to suit your style or occasion.
Q: What is the diameter of this watch, and will it fit a smaller wrist?
A: The case measures 36mm in diameter, which is an ideal size for ladies' watches and suits a wide range of wrist sizes from petite to average. The navy leather strap can be sized to fit wrists from approximately 140mm to 190mm in circumference. Visit our boutique for complimentary fitting and sizing assistance.
Q: Is this watch covered by a warranty?
A: Yes. When purchased from Cassims & Co., an authorised Fossil retailer, this watch includes a 2-year international Fossil warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacements, or damage from misuse. Proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims.
Q: What makes the dial special on this model?
A: The ES3843 features a guilloche-patterned white dial with concentric circular texturing that creates visual depth and catches light beautifully. This traditional watchmaking technique, combined with rose gold Roman numerals and a contrasting blue seconds hand, elevates the watch beyond simple time-telling to become a genuine style statement.
Warranty
- Manufacturer Warranty: This Fossil watch is covered by a 2-year international warranty from the date of purchase, valid only when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. This includes defects in the movement, case, dial, hands, and crown.
- Warranty Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches or cosmetic damage, battery replacement, damage to straps or bracelets, water damage resulting from misuse or failure to observe water resistance limitations, damage from accidents or improper handling, or repairs or modifications performed by unauthorised service centres.
- Proof of Purchase Required: The original sales receipt or invoice from Cassims & Co. must be presented for all warranty claims. Please retain your proof of purchase in a safe place.

Care Guide
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove oils, dust, and moisture. For the stainless steel case, a slightly dampened cloth can be used, ensuring the watch is dried immediately afterwards.
- Leather Strap Care: Avoid prolonged exposure to water, perfumes, cosmetics, and direct sunlight, all of which can damage or discolour leather. Allow the strap to dry naturally if it becomes damp, and never use artificial heat sources. Consider rotating with alternative straps to extend leather life.
- Water Resistance: While rated to 3 ATM, water resistance can degrade over time. Avoid operating the crown when the watch is wet, and never wear the watch in the shower, bath, or while swimming. Have the water resistance tested during battery replacements.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and magnetic fields. A watch box or soft pouch will protect it from scratches and dust accumulation.
- Crown Operation: Always ensure the crown is pushed fully in after setting the time or date. Do not force the crown, and avoid setting the date between 9pm and 3am, when the date mechanism is engaged.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or shows irregular timekeeping, have the battery replaced promptly by a qualified watchmaker. Leaving a depleted battery in the watch can cause leakage and damage to the movement.
- Professional Servicing: While quartz watches require less maintenance than mechanical timepieces, we recommend having your Fossil watch inspected every 2-3 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Visit Cassims & Co. for all servicing needs.
