Fossil Women's Leather Watch

What sets Fossil women's leather watches apart, measured across our catalogue

We compared every Fossil women's leather strap watch with our full range of Fossil women's watches. The rose gold case is twice as common here: more than one watch in two, against a little more than one in four. The pin buckle replaces the fold-over clasp almost everywhere: more than three watches in four have one, against one in eight across the whole range. The white dial is also more common, on almost one watch in three against one in five.

Water resistance, however, is lower. None of the Fossil women's leather watches in the selection reaches 10 ATM, whereas one Fossil women's watch in five does elsewhere, and nearly two in five stop at 3 ATM or below. This makes sense: a leather strap is not meant to go in water. The size, however, does not change: 36 mm median case diameter and 16 mm strap width, like the rest of the range.

Beige, blue, grey: leather in colour

A Fossil women's leather watch is not necessarily brown. In our selection, beige and blue lead, each on almost one strap in four, ahead of brown and grey, then green and black. Paired with the rose gold case, beige and grey give a very soft, almost powdery look; blue, more graphic, works well with jeans or a white shirt.

The Fossil women's leather strap watch is therefore chosen like an accessory: you start with the colour of the leather, then the metal. The dial follows, often light, white, silver or grey, with baton indices or Roman numerals. To compare with other brands, see our women's leather strap watch selection. If you prefer a cooler metal, the Fossil silver women's watch page brings together the models with silver cases.

Maintaining and replacing a Fossil leather strap

Leather wears faster than the case, that is normal. A Fossil women's leather watch strap is easy to change, provided you know its width between the lugs: 16 mm as a median, with half of the models falling between 14 and 18 mm. Before ordering a new Fossil women's leather watch strap, measure the old one or check the product sheet.

In daily use, a Fossil women's leather strap watch needs little: keep it dry, avoid perfume and cream touching the strap, and do not fasten it on the last hole. The pin buckle, the most common here, adjusts hole by hole and is gentle on the leather. Discover the full range, leather and steel, on our Fossil women's watch page.
