FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Scarlette Mini ES4898 suitable for small wrists?
A: Yes, the 32mm case diameter is specifically designed for smaller wrists, offering a refined and proportionate fit. The five-link bracelet can also be adjusted by removing links to achieve your perfect sizing.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing in this quartz watch?
A: Fossil quartz movements typically operate for 2-3 years on a single battery, depending on usage. Battery replacement is a simple service available at our Mall of the South boutique.
Q: Can I wear this watch while washing my hands or in the shower?
A: With 5 ATM water resistance, the watch is splash resistant and suitable for handwashing. However, we do not recommend wearing it in the shower, as exposure to soaps and hot water can compromise the seals over time.
Q: Will the rose gold plating wear off over time?
A: The rose gold-tone finish is applied to stainless steel and is designed for durability. With proper care and avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive surfaces, the finish should maintain its lustre for many years.
Q: Does this watch come with the full Fossil international warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Fossil retailer, every ES4898 sold by Cassim & Co. includes the full 2-year international manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. We provide complimentary bracelet sizing at our Mall of the South store, or you can visit any qualified watchmaker. Links can be removed or added to achieve the perfect fit.
Q: What is the difference between mineral crystal and sapphire crystal?
A: Mineral crystal offers good scratch resistance for everyday wear at an accessible price point. Sapphire crystal, found on higher-end timepieces, provides superior scratch resistance but is more costly to produce. For daily wear, mineral crystal performs excellently.
Warranty
- The Fossil Scarlette Mini ES4898 is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase.
- This warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Fossil retailer, such as Cassim & 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.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as batteries are consumable components with a finite lifespan.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, such as operating the crown underwater or exceeding the stated water resistance rating, is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Damage caused by accidents, impacts, improper handling, unauthorised repairs, or servicing by non-authorised personnel will void the warranty.
- To make a warranty claim, please present your original proof of purchase and visit Cassim & Co. at Mall of the South, or contact us for assistance with authorised service centres.
- Fossil reserves the right to repair or replace the watch at their discretion if a valid warranty claim is approved.
Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, perspiration, and dust.
- Avoid exposure to perfumes, cosmetics, household cleaners, and other chemicals that may damage the rose gold-tone finish.
- Remove your watch before swimming, bathing, or engaging in water sports. The 5 ATM rating is for splash resistance only.
- Avoid impact and dropping the watch, as this can damage the movement or crack the mineral crystal.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. A watch box or pouch is ideal.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the watch stops. Do not leave a dead battery in the watch, as leakage can damage the movement.
- Periodically check the bracelet links and clasp for security. If any components feel loose, visit our servicing team for adjustment.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, magnetic fields, or prolonged direct sunlight, which can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- For professional cleaning and inspection, visit Cassim & Co. at Mall of the South, where our team can service your timepiece and ensure water resistance seals remain intact.
