Fossil ES5446 Harlow Watch Ring Quartz Gold-Tone

Fossil ES5446: The Harlow as a Ring

Fossil took the Harlow’s signature octagonal shape and shrunk it down to ring size. The ES5446 is a watch ring with a 16mm octagonal case on a gold-tone expansion band, and it manages to be both a legitimate watch and a piece of jewelry.

Octagonal at Ring Scale

The Harlow’s octagonal case design translates well to the ring format. At 16mm, the matte textured cream dial with two-hand movement is compact but readable. The gold-tone stainless steel case and crystal accents give it the same refined look as the full-size Harlow, just in miniature. The mineral crystal protects the dial from everyday bumps.

Expansion Band Simplicity

The gold-tone expansion band slides on without any clasp to fiddle with. The 6mm band width keeps the ring comfortable and stackable with other rings. 5 ATM water resistance is surprisingly practical for a ring watch, meaning hand washing and daily life won’t be a concern.

Jewelry That Tells Time

The quartz two-hand movement keeps things accurate and the SR626SW battery lasts. This is designed to be worn as jewelry first and a watch second, but it does both jobs. The gold-tone finish works with other gold pieces, and the octagonal shape adds visual interest to a ring stack.

The Verdict

The Harlow Watch Ring is a fun take on the watch concept. It’s compact enough to wear comfortably as a ring, distinctive enough to get noticed, and functional enough to actually check the time. A solid gift or a unique add to your own jewelry rotation.
