The Fossil Stella ES5151 is a striking fusion of contemporary femininity and practical precision. Encased in a 37mm white ceramic construction, this multifunction quartz timepiece presents an immaculate white dial framed by a double-row crystal-set bezel that catches the light with every movement. The white ceramic bracelet complements the dial's purity, creating a cohesive aesthetic that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to evening wear. Roman numeral hour markers at twelve o'clock anchor the dial, while three sub-dials provide day, date, and 24-hour functionality—proving that elegance and utility need not be mutually exclusive.

FAQ
Q: Is the Fossil Stella ES5151 suitable for swimming?
A: With 50 metres of water resistance, this watch can handle splashes, hand washing, and brief immersion such as showering. However, it is not recommended for swimming, diving, or water sports. The ceramic construction and push-button clasp are not designed for sustained underwater pressure or the dynamic forces involved in swimming.
Q: What does the multifunction feature include on this watch?
A: The ES5151 features three sub-dials that display the day of the week, the date, and a 24-hour indicator. These are set and adjusted via the crown, and provide practical everyday functionality beyond simple timekeeping.
Q: Are the crystals on the bezel real diamonds?
A: No, the bezel is set with high-quality synthetic crystals, not diamonds. These crystals are designed to provide brilliant light reflection and durability at Fossil's accessible price point, while maintaining the aesthetic of fine jewellery.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing in this quartz watch?
A: Fossil quartz movements typically require battery replacement every 2-3 years, depending on usage of the multifunction features. Cassims & Co. offers professional battery replacement services for all Fossil watches purchased from us, ensuring your warranty remains intact.
Q: Can the ceramic bracelet be resized?
A: Yes, the ceramic bracelet can be professionally resized by removing or adding links. This must be done by an experienced watchmaker, as ceramic requires specialized tools to avoid cracking. We offer complimentary sizing at our Mall of the South boutique with every purchase.
Q: Is this watch prone to scratching given its white ceramic construction?
A: Ceramic is one of the most scratch-resistant materials used in watchmaking, significantly harder than stainless steel. While it is highly resistant to surface scratches, ceramic can be vulnerable to impact damage if dropped on hard surfaces. Normal daily wear will not diminish its pristine finish.
Q: Does this watch come with the original Fossil packaging?
A: Yes, the ES5151 is supplied in the original Fossil presentation box with all accompanying documentation, including the international warranty card, instruction manual, and authenticity certification. This is guaranteed when purchasing from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Fossil retailer.
Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 2-year international Fossil warranty from the date of purchase, valid only when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, including movement malfunctions and case or bracelet defects that arise from normal use.
- The warranty does not cover: normal wear and tear, battery replacement, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case/bracelet/crystal, water damage resulting from misuse or failure to maintain water resistance seals, damage from accidents or improper handling, or unauthorised repairs or modifications.
- To make a warranty claim, the original purchase receipt and completed warranty card must be presented. Cassims & Co. will facilitate all warranty claims with Fossil on your behalf.
- Water resistance is not a permanent condition and seals should be tested periodically. Fossil recommends gasket replacement every 2-3 years to maintain the stated water resistance, which is a chargeable service not covered under warranty.
- The warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original purchaser. It does not extend the warranty period if repairs are carried out during the warranty term.
- For warranty service or repairs, contact Cassims & Co. directly at our Mall of the South boutique. We will arrange assessment, repair, or replacement in accordance with Fossil's warranty policy.
Care Guide
- Wipe the white ceramic case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints, oils, and environmental dust that can accumulate in the bracelet links.
- Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning agents, as these can degrade the crystal settings and affect the quartz movement's accuracy over time.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance seals and allow moisture to enter the case.
- Remove the watch before engaging in contact sports, heavy lifting, or activities involving impact, as ceramic, while scratch-resistant, can crack or shatter if subjected to sharp blows.
- Store the watch in its original Fossil box or a padded watch case when not in use, keeping it away from extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and direct sunlight which can fade the dial over extended periods.
- Have the water resistance seals tested and the movement serviced every 3-4 years by an authorised Fossil service centre to maintain optimal performance and preserve your warranty coverage.
- If the watch stops or exhibits timekeeping irregularities, bring it to Cassims & Co. for battery testing and replacement rather than attempting to open the case yourself, which will void the manufacturer's warranty.
- Clean the crystal-set bezel gently with a soft brush and lukewarm water if necessary, ensuring the watch is dried thoroughly afterward to prevent water spots on the white ceramic.
