Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The Portia line sits at the dressed end of Michael Kors' catalogue — pieces built for visibility rather than function, where the dial is a surface to be looked at rather than a tool for reading the time quickly. The MK3844 takes that further than most: the face is entirely gold, with a pavé crystal cluster surrounding the small-seconds sub-dial at six o'clock, so the eye goes there first rather than to the hands. At 37mm and 8mm deep, it lies flat enough to disappear under a cuff while still reading as deliberate when the wrist is bare. The mesh bracelet adjusts by sliding along the fold-over clasp rather than requiring links removed, which makes fit genuinely effortless day to day and suits the watch's role as something put on quickly. At 58 grams all-in, it is present on the wrist without weight becoming a consideration.

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.
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
What 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 37mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
