The Fossil Jacqueline ES3708 exemplifies timeless elegance with its minimalist aesthetic and refined detailing. Housed in a 36mm stainless steel case with a brilliant polished finish, this three-hand quartz watch features a pristine white dial adorned with Roman numeral hour markers at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, complemented by slender stick indices and a discreet date window at 6 o'clock. The sunray-finished dial creates subtle depth and dimension, catching light beautifully as it moves across the wrist.
Powered by a reliable Japanese quartz movement, the ES3708 delivers precision timekeeping with minimal maintenance requirements. The 36mm case diameter strikes the perfect balance between contemporary presence and classic proportions, making it equally suitable for professional settings and leisurely occasions. The genuine brown leather strap, fitted with a traditional buckle closure, develops a rich patina over time, enhancing the watch's character and ensuring a personalised fit.

FAQ
Q: What is the case diameter of the Fossil Jacqueline ES3708?
A: The case measures 36mm in diameter, a versatile size that suits most wrist sizes and offers comfortable everyday wearability without overwhelming smaller wrists.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: The ES3708 features 3 ATM (30 metres) water resistance, which protects against light splashes and rain. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. We recommend removing the watch before any water-based activities to preserve the leather strap and maintain the case seal integrity.
Q: How often does the battery need to be replaced?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2-3 years depending on usage patterns. When battery replacement is required, our authorised service centre can replace it whilst checking the watch's water resistance seals and overall condition.
Q: Can I replace the leather strap with a different colour or material?
A: Yes, the 14mm strap width is a standard size, allowing you to fit alternative leather straps or even fabric NATO straps. Our boutique team can assist with strap selection and fitting, or recommend compatible aftermarket options.
Q: What type of movement powers this watch?
A: The ES3708 utilises a Japanese quartz movement, renowned for accuracy (typically ±15 seconds per month) and reliability. Quartz movements require minimal maintenance compared to mechanical alternatives, making them ideal for everyday wear.
Q: Does the Fossil warranty cover battery replacement?
A: The 2-year international Fossil warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship but does not cover routine battery replacement, which is considered a consumable service item. Battery replacements are available at accessible cost through our servicing department.
Q: Is this watch delivered in original Fossil packaging?
A: Yes, the ES3708 is supplied in official Fossil presentation packaging, including the watch box, instruction manual, and international warranty documentation. This makes it an excellent gift option with presentation-ready packaging.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Fossil watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions, including movement malfunctions and manufacturing defects in the case, crystal, or bracelet/strap hardware.
- Warranty Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement (considered a consumable item), leather strap deterioration, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case or crystal, accidental damage, water damage resulting from misuse or failure to observe water resistance limitations, or damage from unauthorised repairs or modifications.
- Authorised Retailer Requirement: This warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Fossil retailer such as Cassim & Co. Watches purchased from unauthorised dealers, grey market sources, or auction sites may not qualify for manufacturer warranty support.
- Warranty Claims: To claim warranty service, present your original purchase receipt along with the watch to Cassim & Co. We will coordinate assessment and repair through official Fossil service channels.
- After-Warranty Service: Following the warranty period, Cassim & Co. continues to offer comprehensive servicing, battery replacements, strap changes, and repairs at competitive rates through our authorised service partners.
Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the stainless steel case with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and environmental deposits that can dull the polished finish over time.
- Leather Strap Maintenance: Avoid exposing the leather strap to water, perfumes, cosmetics, and prolonged direct sunlight, all of which can cause premature deterioration, discolouration, and hardening of the material.
- Water Exposure: With 3 ATM water resistance, remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports. If the watch becomes wet, dry it immediately with a soft cloth.
- Storage: When not in use, store the watch in its original box or a dedicated watch case away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, laptops).
- Crown Position: Ensure the crown is always pushed fully in against the case after setting the time or date. A pulled-out crown compromises water resistance and increases dust ingress risk.
- Battery Replacement: When the seconds hand begins to jump in 4-second intervals or the watch stops, have the battery replaced promptly by an authorised service centre. A depleted battery left in the watch can leak and damage the movement.
- Strap Replacement: Leather straps typically last 12-24 months with daily wear. Replace the strap when you notice cracking, thinning, or loss of structural integrity to prevent breakage and potential watch loss.
- Regular Servicing: We recommend a service inspection every 3-4 years to check the movement, replace worn gaskets, and verify water resistance integrity, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.
- Impact Protection: Whilst quartz movements are more shock-resistant than mechanical calibres, avoid impacts, drops, and knocks that could damage the crystal, case, or internal components.
