The Fossil Jacqueline ES3545 is a sophisticated women's timepiece that combines timeless elegance with contemporary sparkle. Presented in a 36mm stainless steel case adorned with crystal-set bezel and matching bracelet accents, this quartz watch delivers refined femininity for both everyday wear and special occasions. The silver-toned dial features classic Roman numeral hour markers, slender stick indices, and a practical date window at 6 o'clock, all finished with a clean, minimalist aesthetic that exemplifies Fossil's ability to merge vintage-inspired design with modern sensibilities.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for this distinguished American brand, ensuring you receive a genuine timepiece backed by full manufacturer support. The Jacqueline collection has long been celebrated for its versatile elegance, and the ES3545 variant elevates this with strategically placed crystal embellishments that catch the light beautifully without overwhelming the dial's understated sophistication.

The hardened mineral crystal lens protects the dial from everyday scratches, while the 3 ATM water resistance rating provides protection against splashes and brief immersion.

FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Jacqueline ES3545 suitable for everyday wear?
A: Absolutely. The 36mm case size is versatile enough for daily wear, and the stainless steel construction with mineral crystal lens ensures durability. The crystal embellishments add a touch of elegance that transitions from office to evening with ease. Just be mindful of the 3 ATM water resistance rating, which protects against splashes but is not suitable for swimming or showering.
Q: How often will I need to replace the battery in this quartz watch?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2 to 3 years depending on usage. When your Fossil Jacqueline requires a battery replacement, our servicing team at Cassim & Co. can handle this promptly using genuine components to maintain your warranty coverage.
Q: Are the crystals on the bezel and bracelet genuine diamonds?
A: No, the embellishments on the ES3545 are crystal stones, not diamonds. These provide beautiful sparkle and are specifically chosen by Fossil for their durability and brilliance, making this timepiece an accessible luxury option without compromising on visual impact.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized to ensure a perfect fit. We offer complimentary bracelet adjustment when you purchase from Cassim & Co., and our team can remove or add links as needed at our Mall of the South location.
Q: Is this watch covered by the Fossil warranty when purchased from Cassim & Co.?
A: Yes, as an authorised Fossil retailer, all watches purchased from Cassim & Co. come with the full 2-year international Fossil warranty. This covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, and your warranty card will be validated at the time of purchase.
Q: What does 3 ATM water resistance actually mean in practical terms?
A: 3 ATM (30 metres) water resistance means your watch can withstand splashes, brief immersion such as hand washing, and light rain. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports. We recommend removing your watch before any prolonged water exposure.
Q: How do I care for the crystal embellishments on this watch?
A: The crystal stones are securely set and require minimal special care. Simply wipe the watch with a soft, dry cloth after wear to remove oils and residue. Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or cleaning agents that could dull the crystal brilliance over time.

- Battery Replacement: Battery replacement is considered routine maintenance and is not covered under warranty. However, Cassim & Co. offers professional battery replacement services using genuine components.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may be affected by ageing of gaskets or accidental impact. Water resistance is not covered under warranty if damage results from improper use beyond the stated 3 ATM rating.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe your watch with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove skin oils, perspiration, and cosmetic residue that can accumulate on the case and bracelet.
- Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel bracelet and case periodically using a soft brush and mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any cleaning to prevent moisture ingress.
- Water Exposure: With 3 ATM water resistance, avoid swimming, showering, or prolonged water contact. Remove your watch before any water activities, and never operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Chemical Avoidance: Keep your watch away from perfumes, lotions, cleaning products, and solvents that can damage the crystal stones, dial finish, or metal surfaces.
- Crystal Protection: While the mineral crystal is scratch-resistant, it is not scratch-proof. Avoid impact with hard surfaces and store your watch separately from other jewellery to prevent scratching the crystal embellishments.
- Storage: When not wearing your Fossil Jacqueline, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably in its original box or a soft watch pouch to protect it from dust and scratches.
- Crown Care: Always ensure the crown is pushed fully in to its normal position after setting the time or date. This maintains the watch's water resistance seal.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep your quartz watch away from strong magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps) as these can temporarily affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the second hand begins to jump in intervals, bring it to Cassim & Co. for professional battery replacement. Never attempt to open the case yourself as this will void your warranty.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend having your watch inspected by our service team every 2-3 years to ensure the case seals, bracelet, and movement remain in optimal condition.
