FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Scarlette ES5338 suitable for swimming?
A: With 50 metres water resistance, the Scarlette is suitable for splashes, handwashing, and brief immersion, but it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or water sports. This rating is designed for everyday wear protection rather than aquatic activities.
Q: What battery does this watch use and how often will it need replacement?
A: The ES5338 uses a standard SR626SW silver oxide battery. With typical use, expect battery life of approximately 2-3 years. Our servicing team at Cassim & Co. can replace the battery and pressure-test the case to maintain water resistance.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized by removing links. The inner circumference is approximately 175mm (+/- 5mm) as supplied. Bring your watch to our Mall of the South boutique for complimentary sizing when purchased from Cassim & Co.
Q: Is this watch considered a dress watch or suitable for everyday wear?
A: The Scarlette ES5338 is a versatile dress watch that transitions beautifully between formal and casual settings. The 32mm case size and elegant gold-tone finish make it ideal for professional environments, special occasions, and everyday wear alike.
Q: Does the Fossil warranty cover battery replacements?
A: No, the 2-year Fossil warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, but does not cover consumable items such as batteries. Battery replacement is considered routine maintenance and is available at a nominal cost through authorised service centres.
Q: What makes the coin-edge bezel special on this model?
A: The coin-edge (also called fluted) bezel is a classic design element that adds texture and visual interest to the case. This decorative feature catches light beautifully and is inspired by vintage watchmaking traditions, elevating the Scarlette's premium aesthetic.
Q: How accurate is the quartz movement in this Fossil watch?
A: Quartz movements are exceptionally accurate, typically maintaining precision within +/- 15 seconds per month. This makes the Scarlette ES5338 a reliable timekeeper for daily wear, requiring minimal adjustment compared to mechanical movements.
Warranty
- This watch carries a 2-year international Fossil warranty from the date of purchase, valid when purchased from an authorised 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, strap wear, or plating discolouration from regular use.
- Battery replacement and routine maintenance are not covered under warranty and are considered consumable service items.
- Water damage resulting from improper use, exceeding the stated water resistance rating, or failure to maintain seals is excluded from coverage.
- Accidental damage, impacts, unauthorised repairs, or modifications void the warranty.
- To claim warranty service, present your original proof of purchase from Cassim & Co. along with the watch to an authorised Fossil service centre.
- Warranty service may include repair or replacement at Fossil's discretion, using new or refurbished components of equal quality.
- This warranty provides specific legal rights, and you may have additional rights which vary by jurisdiction within South Africa.
Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, perspiration, and daily residue that can dull the gold-tone finish.
- Avoid exposure to chemicals including perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning agents, and chlorinated water, which may damage the plating and seals.
- Remove your watch before showering, bathing, or swimming. Water resistance ratings diminish over time as seals age.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not being worn.
- Have the battery replaced promptly when the watch stops or shows signs of weakening. A depleted battery left in the case can leak and cause damage.
- During battery replacement, request a professional pressure test to verify water resistance integrity.
- Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields from speakers, mobile phones, or magnetic clasps, which can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Have the watch professionally cleaned and inspected every 2-3 years to maintain optimal performance and appearance.
- Use the clasp correctly and avoid forcing links or components, which may cause premature wear or breakage.
- Protect the mineral crystal from impacts against hard surfaces, as mineral glass can scratch or crack under force.
