FAQ
Q: What type of movement does the Fossil Raquel ES5220 use?
A: The ES5220 is powered by a reliable quartz movement, which provides accurate timekeeping and requires a battery replacement approximately every 2-3 years depending on usage.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: With 50 metres (5 ATM) of water resistance, the Raquel ES5220 can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. However, it is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering, as hot water and soap can compromise the seals.

A: Yes, the gold-tone stainless steel bracelet can be professionally resized by removing or adding links. Our in-house team at Cassim & Co. offers complimentary sizing when you purchase the watch from us.
Q: What is the case diameter, and is it suitable for smaller wrists?
A: The Raquel ES5220 features a compact 23mm case, which is specifically designed for smaller to medium wrists. The rectangular shape also wears slightly larger than its dimensions suggest, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a refined, feminine silhouette.
Q: Does this watch have a sapphire crystal?
A: No, the ES5220 features a hardened mineral crystal, which offers excellent scratch resistance for everyday wear. Whilst not as hard as sapphire, mineral crystal provides a good balance of durability and value at this price point.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, perspiration, and daily residue.
- For deeper cleaning, use a slightly dampened cloth with mild soapy water on the bracelet, ensuring no moisture enters the case. Dry thoroughly immediately afterwards.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet, as this may allow moisture to enter the case.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker as soon as the watch stops or shows signs of low power to prevent battery leakage, which can damage the movement.
- Avoid impact and knocks, particularly to the mineral crystal and crown, which can compromise water resistance and accuracy.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. A watch box or pouch is ideal for protecting the finish.
- We recommend servicing the watch every 3-4 years to maintain optimal performance, including seal replacement and water resistance testing.
