The Fossil Raquel ES5344 is a striking fusion of fashion and functionality, reimagining the traditional wristwatch as a bold ring watch that sits elegantly on the finger. This innovative quartz timepiece features a 14mm rectangular stainless steel case with stepped Art Deco-inspired bezel architecture, housing a silver-tone sunray dial adorned with elongated Roman numeral hour markers that radiate outward from a central rectangular sub-dial bearing the Fossil signature. The mineral crystal protects the dial, while slender silver-tone hands provide clear time indication in a design that balances vintage glamour with contemporary wearability.
Powered by a reliable quartz movement, the Raquel offers precision timekeeping in a format designed for everyday versatility. The flexible stainless steel expansion band adjusts to fit comfortably on fingers, with a 6mm band thickness that provides structural integrity without compromising comfort. Water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 metres), this ring watch withstands daily exposure to moisture, making it suitable for handwashing and brief water contact, though it should be removed before swimming or showering.

FAQ
Q: How does a ring watch work and how do I wear it?
A: The Fossil Raquel is worn on the finger like a ring, with the watch face positioned on top. The flexible stainless steel expansion band stretches to slide over your finger and sits securely once in place. Simply position the dial face upward for easy time reading. It fits most finger sizes due to the expansion design.
Q: What fingers can I wear this ring watch on?
A: The Raquel's expansion band is designed to fit comfortably on most fingers, though it works best on index, middle, or ring fingers where the 14mm case proportions are most balanced. The flexible band accommodates a range of finger sizes, typically adjusting from approximately 48mm to 58mm internal diameter.
Q: Can I wash my hands while wearing the Raquel ring watch?
A: Yes. With 5 ATM water resistance, the Raquel can withstand handwashing, rain, and brief water exposure. However, you should remove it before swimming, showering, or any prolonged water immersion. Avoid operating the crown when wet and dry the watch thoroughly after any water contact.
Q: How long does the battery last in this quartz ring watch?
A: Fossil quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life under normal use. When the battery requires replacement, visit Cassim & Co. where our technicians can replace it with a genuine battery while checking the water resistance seals to maintain the watch's 5 ATM rating.
Q: Is this ring watch suitable for daily wear?
A: Absolutely. The Raquel is designed as an everyday accessory, combining stainless steel durability with quartz reliability. The expansion band is comfortable for extended wear, and the 5 ATM water resistance provides peace of mind during normal daily activities. We recommend removing it during strenuous physical activity or manual work to prevent scratches.
Q: What does the 2-year Fossil warranty cover?
A: The international Fossil warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for 2 years from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer like Cassim & Co. It does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, accidental damage, scratches, or water damage due to misuse.
Q: Can the band be adjusted or resized?
A: The expansion band is designed to be self-adjusting, stretching to fit over your finger and then contracting to sit securely. No traditional resizing is required. If you experience any fit issues, visit our Mall of the South boutique where our team can assess the band tension and make minor adjustments if needed.
