FAQ
Q: What is included in the Fossil FS5966SET gift set?
A: The gift set includes the Fossil Minimalist 44mm quartz watch with grey dial and brown leather strap, plus a complementary blue sodalite beaded bracelet for layered styling. Both items arrive in Fossil's signature presentation packaging, making this an ideal gift choice.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: The FS5966SET has a water resistance rating of 50 metres (5 ATM), which makes it suitable for splashes and brief immersion such as handwashing. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or any water sports, as the leather strap can be damaged by prolonged water exposure.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2 to 3 years depending on usage. When replacement is needed, our servicing team at Cassims & Co. can perform this quickly and professionally, ensuring your watch remains water-resistant and properly sealed.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced or adjusted?
A: Yes, the brown eco-leather strap can be easily adjusted to fit your wrist and can be replaced if desired. We stock a range of compatible straps and can assist with sizing and replacement at our Johannesburg showrooms.
Q: What is the case thickness of this watch?
A: While the exact case thickness is not specified by Fossil for this model, the Minimalist collection is designed with a slim profile that sits comfortably under shirt cuffs, making it ideal for both casual and smart-casual wear.
Q: Does this watch have a date function?
A: No, the FS5966SET features a clean three-hand display without a date complication, in keeping with the minimalist design philosophy. This creates an uncluttered dial aesthetic and reduces the need for regular date adjustment.
Q: Is this watch covered by an international warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Fossil retailer, this watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims.
Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 2-year international Fossil warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, strap wear, or crystal blemishes resulting from everyday use.
- Battery replacement, routine maintenance, and servicing are not covered under the manufacturer warranty.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, failure to ensure the crown is properly secured, or exceeding the stated water resistance rating is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Accidental damage, unauthorised repairs or modifications, and damage from extreme conditions void the warranty.
- Proof of purchase from an authorised retailer is required for all warranty claims.
- For warranty service or enquiries, please contact Cassims & Co. with your purchase receipt, and we will facilitate the claim process on your behalf.
Care guide
- Wipe the stainless steel case and crystal regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and moisture.
- Avoid exposing the leather strap to water, chemicals, perfumes, or prolonged sunlight, as these can cause discolouration, cracking, and premature wear.
- When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- If the leather strap becomes damp, allow it to air-dry naturally at room temperature — never use direct heat sources.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker to ensure the case back is properly resealed and water resistance is maintained.
- Avoid impact, shocks, and magnetic fields, which can affect the quartz movement's accuracy.
- Clean the beaded bracelet gently with a dry cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that may damage the sodalite beads.
- We recommend an annual service check to ensure your watch continues to perform optimally and to address any minor issues before they develop.
