FAQ
Q: What is the case diameter of the Fossil Raquel ES5221?
A: The case measures 23mm in width, making it an ideal size for smaller to medium wrists. The rectangular case shape provides a slightly longer vertical dimension, creating an elegant elongated profile on the wrist.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: The Raquel ES5221 has 30 metres (3 ATM) water resistance, which means it can withstand splashes and brief exposure to water such as handwashing or rain. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports. We recommend removing the watch before prolonged water exposure.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Fossil quartz movements typically run for 2-3 years on a single battery, depending on usage patterns. When battery replacement is needed, our service team at Cassim & Co. can replace it with a genuine battery while checking the gaskets to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized to fit your wrist. Visit our Mall of the South boutique where our team can remove or add links for the perfect fit. This service is complimentary with purchase.
Q: What warranty comes with this Fossil watch?
A: This watch carries a 2-year international Fossil warranty from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty is valid when purchased from authorised retailers like Cassim & Co. and does not cover normal wear, battery replacement, or accidental damage.
Q: Is the Raquel ES5221 suitable for formal occasions?
A: Absolutely. The rectangular case, Roman numeral dial, and polished stainless steel bracelet create a sophisticated aesthetic perfectly suited to formal and professional settings. Its classic design pairs beautifully with both business attire and evening wear.
Q: Does this watch have a scratch-resistant crystal?
A: Yes, the Raquel ES5221 features a hardened mineral crystal that offers good scratch resistance for everyday wear. While mineral crystal is more scratch-resistant than standard glass, we recommend avoiding contact with abrasive surfaces to maintain the crystal's clarity.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Fossil watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- Valid Purchase: The warranty is only valid when the watch is purchased from an authorised Fossil retailer such as Cassim & Co. Proof of purchase must be retained.
- What Is Not Covered: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, bracelet/strap wear, scratches to the case or crystal, accidental damage, water damage resulting from misuse, or damage from unauthorised repairs or modifications.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and gaskets may deteriorate over time. Water resistance is not covered under warranty after the first year unless gaskets are replaced during authorised servicing.
- Warranty Service: Should you require warranty service, contact Cassim & Co. with your proof of purchase. We will facilitate the warranty claim with Fossil's authorised service centres.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Remove your watch before engaging in vigorous physical activities, contact sports, or gardening to prevent impact damage to the case and crystal.
- Water Exposure: With 30m water resistance, avoid submerging your watch in water. Remove before showering, swimming, or washing dishes. If the watch does get wet, dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dirt, perspiration, and oils. For deeper cleaning of the stainless steel bracelet, use a slightly dampened cloth with mild soap, then dry completely.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in its original box or a dedicated watch case away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields. Avoid storing near electronics or speakers.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the seconds hand begins jumping in intervals, the battery needs replacing. Have this done by authorised service centres to ensure water resistance gaskets are properly checked and replaced if necessary.
- Bracelet Care: The stainless steel bracelet may develop minor scratches over time through normal wear. These can be professionally polished during servicing to restore the original finish.
- Crown Care: Ensure the crown is pushed fully in after setting the time or date to maintain water resistance. Never attempt to adjust the crown or date while the watch is wet.
- Chemical Exposure: Avoid contact with perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning products, and solvents, as these can damage the case finish, dial, and gaskets over time.
- Service Intervals: We recommend having your Fossil watch inspected every 2-3 years during battery replacement to check gasket integrity and overall condition.
- Magnetism: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps) as these can affect timekeeping accuracy, though quartz movements are generally less susceptible than mechanical movements.
