Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
A round 36mm stainless steel case in polished silver-tone sits at 8mm thick, keeping the profile slim and unobtrusive on the wrist. The silver sunray dial carries dauphine hands and a pavé crystal sub-dial at six o'clock for the seconds display, adding quiet texture without cluttering the layout. Mineral crystal protects the dial, and the watch is water resistant to 50 metres. The 16mm Milanese mesh bracelet adjusts via a hook buckle closure to fit wrists between 14 and 19cm, sitting flat and flexible against the skin.

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?
16mm. 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, though at 36mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
