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.Designed to sit on the finger rather than the wrist, this is a ring watch in the most literal sense. The rectangular case measures just 12.5mm across and 4mm deep, housing a two-hand quartz movement behind mineral glass. The gold dial carries a sunray finish and no hour markers, keeping the face clean and uncluttered. The flexible expansion band in gold-tone stainless steel is 10mm wide and weighs just 12 grams in total, sitting lightly on the finger with a comfortable fit.

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?
10mm. 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.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its highest recorded price. It's ranged between £134 and £179, today it's £179.
