Warranty
- This Fossil watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions, including movement malfunctions and manufacturing flaws in the case, dial, or bracelet.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches to the case, crystal, or bracelet, nor does it cover damage resulting from accidents, misuse, or unauthorised repairs.
- Water damage resulting from improper use, including exposure beyond the watch's stated resistance or failure to ensure the crown is properly secured, is not covered.
- Battery replacement is considered routine maintenance and is not covered under warranty, though our servicing team offers this service at competitive rates.
- To validate your warranty claim, retain your original purchase receipt from Cassim & Co. Warranty service is provided through authorised Fossil service centres.
- The warranty becomes void if the watch has been opened, altered, or repaired by unauthorised personnel.
Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove oils, perspiration, and environmental residue that can dull the gold-tone finish over time.
- Avoid exposing the watch to perfumes, lotions, cleaning products, and chlorinated water, as these substances can compromise the finish and seals.
- Remove the watch before engaging in contact sports, heavy lifting, or activities involving impact or magnetic fields that may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself. Battery replacement and internal servicing should only be performed by qualified watchmakers to maintain warranty validity.
- Store your Fossil watch in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight when not in use. A watch box or soft pouch will protect it from scratches and dust accumulation.
- If the bracelet becomes loose or the clasp shows signs of wear, bring the watch to our servicing team for inspection and adjustment to prevent accidental loss.
- Quartz watches should not be left unused for extended periods with a depleted battery, as leakage can occur. If the watch stops, replace the battery promptly.
