The Fossil Scarlette ES5388 is a refined expression of contemporary elegance, combining classic design codes with modern femininity. This 33mm quartz timepiece features a striking green sunray dial adorned with applied baguette-style indices and Roman numeral hour markers at XII and VI, creating a sophisticated contrast against the emerald canvas. The fluted bezel in gold-tone stainless steel frames the dial with architectural precision, while the date window at 3 o'clock adds functional appeal to this dress watch.
Housed in a 33mm two-tone stainless steel case with a thickness of 9mm, the Scarlette sits comfortably on the wrist without sacrificing presence. The hardened mineral crystal offers scratch resistance for daily wear, while the case construction provides water resistance to 5 ATM (50 metres), suitable for everyday splashes and brief immersion. The three-hand quartz movement ensures reliable timekeeping powered by a SR626SW silver oxide battery, delivering accuracy without the maintenance requirements of mechanical calibres.
The two-tone bracelet seamlessly integrates silver and gold-tone stainless steel in a five-link configuration, secured with a double-press deployant buckle for comfort and security. At 16mm lug width and approximately 175mm inner circumference (adjustable), the bracelet is designed to accommodate a range of wrist sizes. Available at FOSSIL watches, this timepiece represents accessible luxury within the brand's broader collection of refined everyday watches.

FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Scarlette ES5388 suitable for swimming?
A: With 5 ATM (50 metres) water resistance, this watch can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as handwashing. However, it is not designed for swimming, showering, or water sports. We recommend removing the watch before any prolonged water contact to preserve the seals and internal components.
Q: What battery does this watch use and how long will it last?
A: The Scarlette ES5388 operates on a SR626SW silver oxide battery. Under normal use, you can expect approximately 2-3 years of battery life. When replacement is required, our service team at Cassim & Co. can replace the battery while checking the case seals to maintain water resistance.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the two-tone stainless steel bracelet can be professionally adjusted by removing or adding links. We offer complimentary bracelet sizing with purchase at our Mall of the South boutique, ensuring a perfect fit before you leave the store. For watches purchased online, our service team can assist with sizing adjustments.
Q: Is this watch covered by an official Fossil warranty?
A: Absolutely. As an authorised Fossil retailer, Cassim & Co. provides the full 2-year international manufacturer warranty with every Scarlette ES5388 purchased. This warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship from the date of purchase. Proof of purchase from an authorised retailer is required for warranty claims.
Q: What makes the green dial special on this model?
A: The sunray green dial creates dynamic visual depth, shifting in tone as light moves across its surface. This rich emerald shade is complemented by gold-tone hands and applied indices, creating exceptional legibility and a refined aesthetic that stands apart from traditional silver or black dial watches.
Q: Can I change the bracelet to a leather strap?
A: Yes, the Scarlette ES5388 features standard 16mm lugs, making it compatible with aftermarket leather straps or additional Fossil straps of the same width. This allows you to personalise the watch and create different looks for various occasions, from formal to casual.
Q: How accurate is the quartz movement in this watch?
A: Quartz movements are renowned for exceptional accuracy, typically varying by only +/- 15 seconds per month. This makes the Scarlette ES5388 highly reliable for daily timekeeping without the need for regular adjustment or winding, unlike mechanical movements.
Warranty

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid impact, sudden temperature changes, and exposure to strong magnetic fields which may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Water Exposure: Although water-resistant to 5 ATM, do not operate the crown while wet or submerged. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to chlorinated or salt water, then dry thoroughly.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, perspiration, and debris. For deeper cleaning of the stainless steel bracelet, use warm soapy water and a soft brush, ensuring the watch is thoroughly dried afterwards.
- Crown Care: When adjusting the time or date, pull the crown gently and push it fully in after adjustment to maintain water resistance. Never force the crown.
- Battery Replacement: Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre to ensure proper resealing and water resistance testing. Battery depletion is indicated when the seconds hand begins to jump in 4-second intervals.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and moisture. A watch box or pouch will protect against dust and scratches.
- Servicing: We recommend a professional service every 3-5 years to check seals, lubricate the movement (if applicable), and ensure all functions operate correctly.
- Chemical Exposure: Remove your watch before applying perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning products, or solvents, as these can damage seals, degrade coatings, and affect the bracelet finish.
