Stepping up in Michael Kors's range
The Darci carries a 39 mm polished stainless steel case with an ultra-slim profile, sitting close to the wrist despite its generous diameter. The fixed bezel is pavé-set with clear crystals, framing a pink mother-of-pearl dial with silver-tone stick indices and three matching hands. A mineral crystal sits above. The silver-tone mesh bracelet narrows to 12 mm at the lugs and fastens with a sliding hook buckle, allowing the fit to be adjusted without removing any links. Water resistance is rated to 50 metres.

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?
12mm. 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 39mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
