Fossil Sale Dates (2025) | Year-Round Sales Calendar

Fossil's biggest sales happen during Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the holiday season with discounts up to 40% off sitewide. The brand also runs two Semi-Annual Sales each year – one in early to mid-January and another in late June through July – offering up to 50% off sale and outlet items.

Other strong sale periods include Mother's Day (early May), Father's Day (mid-June), Memorial Day weekend, Labor Day weekend, and Valentine's Day. Flash sales and outlet deals run throughout the year with discounts typically reaching 50% off.

Fossil outlet stores carry two types of products: discontinued items from regular retail at deep discounts (50-70% off), and products made specifically for outlets using lower-cost materials. Regular retail stores sell current-season items at standard prices with higher-quality materials and finishes.

Yes, Fossil offers free standard shipping on orders $50 or more in the US. Orders under $50 have a flat rate shipping fee of $5.99. Standard shipping typically takes 5-7 business days for US orders.

For Canada, free shipping applies to orders over $100 (CAD), with a $10 shipping charge for orders under that amount. Expedited shipping options include two-day UPS ($20) and overnight ($30) for US customers.

Fossil traditional watches come with a 2-year warranty from the purchase date, while smartwatches and wearables have a 1-year warranty. The warranty covers material and manufacturing defects for the watch movement, hands, and dial only.

Leather goods and eyewear have a 1-year warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. You need a valid receipt to claim warranty service. Repairs or replacements are handled within 30 days, though Fossil cannot guarantee the same model if yours is unavailable.

Fossil accepts returns of unworn merchandise within 30 days of purchase for a full refund to your original payment method. Items must be in new, unused condition with all original packaging, tags, and accessories included.

Returns are free and easy – you can return items to any Fossil store or by mail. The refund process typically takes 5-10 business days after the return is received. This policy applies to both regular and sale items.

Yes! Students can get up to 15% off through verification platforms like Student Beans and UNiDAYS. You'll need to verify your student status to unlock the discount, which works on select full-price items.

Teachers in the UK can access discounts through Discounts For Teachers. These education discounts are separate from Fossil's regular promotions and may have different terms, so check which offer gives you the best savings before checking out.

Very frequently! Fossil runs sales almost constantly throughout the year with flash sales, limited-time promotions, and end-of-season markdowns. Major holiday weekends (Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day) typically bring sitewide discounts.

Fossil refurbished watches are factory-restored by Fossil and come with a 2-year warranty, just like new watches. These are returned or slightly used watches that have been inspected, repaired if needed, and certified for resale at significantly lower prices.

Refurbished smartwatches can be found for as low as $49 compared to $200+ for new models. They're sold directly on Fossil's website and offer excellent value if you want genuine Fossil quality at a fraction of the cost. Performance and reliability are typically as good as new.

Yes! New email subscribers get 15% off full-price styles when they sign up for Fossil emails. The promotional code is sent in your welcome email and is valid for one year on a single purchase.

This welcome offer excludes outlet items, sale items, limited editions, and gift cards. It's only available to first-time subscribers and cannot be combined with other offers.

It depends on which sale section you're shopping. Regular retail watches on sale (marked down from full price) maintain the same quality as full-price items – you're just getting discontinued styles or seasonal colors at a discount.

Outlet-specific products (especially those with “BQ” product codes) use lower-grade materials and finishes compared to retail versions. However, discontinued retail items moved to outlets (with “FS” or “ES” codes) offer the best value – retail quality at outlet prices. Always check product codes if quality matters to you.
