The Fossil Scarlette ES5199 is a refined expression of everyday elegance, combining classic design codes with contemporary wearability. This 32mm timepiece features a silver sunray dial that catches and reflects light with subtle sophistication, framed by a distinctive coin-edge bezel in gold-tone stainless steel. The dial is thoughtfully appointed with Roman numeral hour markers and gold-tone hands, while a practical day-date window at 3 o'clock adds functional versatility to the design. Powered by a reliable quartz movement, this three-hand watch delivers accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance, making it an ideal companion for the modern South African woman who values both style and substance.
Crafted entirely in gold-tone stainless steel, the Scarlette ES5199 wears comfortably on a three-link bracelet that balances visual presence with refined proportions.

FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Scarlette ES5199 suitable for everyday wear?
A: Absolutely. The ES5199 is designed as an everyday timepiece with a versatile 32mm case, durable stainless steel construction, and 5 ATM water resistance that protects against splashes, rain, and hand washing. The quartz movement requires minimal maintenance—just a battery replacement every 2-3 years—making it highly practical for daily wear.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming or showering?
A: While the 5 ATM water resistance protects against everyday water exposure including hand washing and rain, we do not recommend swimming, showering, or prolonged water immersion with this timepiece. The 5 ATM rating is suitable for brief accidental submersion only. Hot water, soap, and pressure from showers can compromise seals over time.
Q: How do I adjust the day and date on this watch?
A: Pull the crown out to the first position and rotate to adjust the date. For the day display, continue rotating through a full 24-hour cycle to advance the day. Important: Never adjust the day-date functions between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the automatic changeover mechanism is engaged and adjustments during this period may damage the movement.
Q: What battery does the Scarlette ES5199 use, and how long will it last?
A: The ES5199 uses a standard watch battery (typically SR621SW or equivalent). Battery life averages 2-3 years depending on usage. We recommend having batteries replaced by a qualified watchmaker to ensure proper sealing and water resistance. Visit Cassims & Co. for professional battery replacement service that maintains your warranty coverage.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the three-link stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized by removing or adding links. We offer complimentary bracelet sizing with purchase at our Mall of the South boutique. If you've purchased online, our service team can resize the bracelet for you—contact us to arrange this service.
Q: Is this watch covered by the official Fossil warranty when purchased from Cassims & Co.?
A: Yes. As authorised Fossil retailers, every ES5199 purchased from Cassims & Co. includes the full 2-year international Fossil manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Your warranty card will be stamped and dated at the time of purchase, and we provide full after-sales support throughout the warranty period.
Q: What makes the gold tone on this watch durable?
A: The gold-tone finish on the Scarlette ES5199 is applied to stainless steel using a PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) or ion-plating process, which creates a durable, long-lasting finish more resistant to wear than traditional gold plating. With proper care—avoiding harsh chemicals, perfumes applied directly to the watch, and periodic cleaning—the finish will maintain its lustre for many years.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and daily residue
- For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, ensuring the crown is pushed fully in. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely
- Avoid direct contact with perfumes, cosmetics, solvents, and harsh chemicals, which can damage the gold-tone finish and dial
- Remove your watch before vigorous physical activity, sports, or any activity involving impact or extreme temperatures
- Do not wear while swimming, showering, or during water activities—5 ATM resistance covers splashes only
- Never operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet, as this can allow moisture to enter the case
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing. A watch box or pouch protects against scratches
- Have the battery replaced promptly when the watch stops—leaving a depleted battery inside can cause leakage and movement damage
- We recommend professional servicing every 3-5 years to check seals, clean the movement, and maintain water resistance
- Avoid exposing your watch to strong magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps), which can affect timekeeping accuracy
- If condensation appears under the crystal, have the watch serviced immediately, as moisture inside can cause corrosion
