Warranty
- Manufacturer Warranty: This Fossil Scarlette ES5324 is covered by a 2-year international warranty from Fossil, valid from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- What Is Not Covered: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, damage caused by accidents, misuse, improper handling, unauthorised modifications or repairs, water damage resulting from improper use or failure to observe water resistance limitations, or damage to the bracelet, strap, crystal, or case from impact or abrasion.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may be affected by ageing of gaskets or accidental impact to the crown or crystal. Water resistance cannot be guaranteed unless the watch is tested after battery replacement or servicing.
- Authorised Retailer Requirement: Warranty coverage is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Fossil retailer. Proof of purchase from Cassims & Co. must be presented for warranty claims.
- Servicing: For warranty service or repairs, contact Cassims & Co. directly. We will coordinate with Fossil to ensure your timepiece receives genuine parts and authorised service.
- Battery Replacement: Battery replacement is considered a normal maintenance item and is not covered under warranty, though our team can replace your battery using genuine components to maintain warranty validity for other covered defects.
Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove perspiration, cosmetics, and daily residue that can accumulate over time.
- Water Exposure: While the Scarlette ES5324 offers 5 ATM water resistance, avoid submerging the watch in water, operating the crown when wet, or exposing it to hot water, steam, or solvents, as these can compromise seals and damage the movement.
- Bracelet Maintenance: Clean the stainless steel bracelet periodically with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. This prevents buildup in the links and maintains the rose gold-tone finish.
- Crown Care: Ensure the crown is pushed fully in after setting the time or date. Never force the crown or pull it out while underwater, as this can allow moisture ingress.
- Shock Protection: Avoid impacts, drops, and extreme shocks. While the watch is built for daily wear, quartz movements contain delicate electronic components that can be damaged by severe impacts.
- Storage: When not wearing your Scarlette, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, and extreme temperatures. A watch box or soft pouch is ideal.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the seconds hand begins to jump in irregular intervals, have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker. Our servicing team uses genuine batteries and will test water resistance seals during replacement.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend a professional inspection every 2-3 years to ensure water resistance seals remain intact and the movement operates optimally.
- Avoid Chemicals: Keep the watch away from solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, and other chemicals that can damage the finish, seals, or dial.
