The Fossil Modern Sophisticate BQ1560 is a masterclass in contemporary elegance, combining clean design with practical functionality. Housed in a refined 36mm stainless steel case with a matching three-link bracelet, this quartz multifunction timepiece delivers precision timekeeping alongside day and date complications displayed through three crisp sub-dials on a pristine white dial. The crystal hour markers and polished indices create a sophisticated aesthetic that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to evening engagements.
Powered by a reliable quartz multifunction movement, the BQ1560 offers the accuracy and low-maintenance performance that Fossil has built its reputation upon. The 36mm case size strikes an ideal balance, wearing comfortably on a range of wrist sizes whilst maintaining a substantial presence. Water resistance to 5 ATM (50 metres) provides protection against everyday exposure, including handwashing and light rain, though the watch should not be used for swimming or diving.

Warranty
- This Fossil Modern Sophisticate BQ1560 carries a 2-year international Fossil warranty from the date of purchase when purchased 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 to the case, crystal, or bracelet, nor does it cover strap or bracelet deterioration.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as batteries are considered consumable components with a finite lifespan.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, such as operating the crown whilst submerged or exceeding the stated water resistance rating, is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Accidental damage, unauthorised modifications, or repairs performed by non-authorised service centres will void the warranty.
- To claim warranty service, the original purchase receipt and completed warranty card must be presented to an authorised Fossil service centre.
- Cassims & Co. offers comprehensive after-sales support including battery replacement, bracelet adjustment, and assistance with warranty claims for all watches purchased from our boutique.
Care Guide
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, oils, and daily residue that can dull the polished finish.
- For deeper cleaning, use a slightly dampened cloth with mild soap and water, ensuring no moisture enters the case through the crown or case back. Dry thoroughly afterwards.
- Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, perfumes, or cosmetics which can damage the case finish, crystal, and seals over time.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers whilst the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance and allow moisture to enter the movement.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not being worn. The original Fossil box provides ideal protection against dust and moisture.
- Remove the watch before engaging in high-impact sports, manual labour, or activities involving strong magnetic fields, as these can affect accuracy or cause physical damage.
- Have the water resistance seals checked every 2-3 years, particularly after battery replacement, to ensure continued protection against moisture ingress.
- If the watch stops functioning or shows irregular timekeeping, visit Cassims & Co. promptly for professional assessment rather than attempting to open the case yourself.
- Avoid leaving the watch in extremely hot or cold environments (such as inside a car on a summer day) as temperature extremes can affect the movement and battery life.
