Michael Kors MK3492 Slim Runway Blue Dial Ladies Watch
Ref. MK3492
Sits in Michael Kors’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Michael Kors watches we list, which start at £109.
Price range £109 to £299 across 206 Michael Kors watches in stock.The Slim Runway is built around a deliberate tension: a 42mm diameter that reads as bold, paired with an 8mm case that disappears against the wrist. That flatness is the whole engineering brief — to carry an oversized footprint without the bulk that usually comes with it, so it reads as an accessory as much as a watch. The blue dial against gold-tone stick indices is a clean, high-contrast combination that holds up well in daylight without needing anything more decorative. The deployant clasp on the triple-link bracelet is a practical choice at this size — a fold-over that keeps the watch centred and removes the looseness that a standard buckle tends to develop on a wide bracelet.

Learn more about Michael Kors
Michael Kors founded his label in New York in 1981 and built it on accessible American luxury. The watches are produced under licence by Fossil Group and have been among the highest-volume fashion watches sold worldwide.
The design leans decorative: gold and rose gold plating, pavé crystal settings, oversized chronograph subdials that are frequently non-functional, and bracelets that echo the jewellery line. Movements are quartz.
These are styling-led accessories, priced accordingly, and they are honest about what they are.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
20mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
