Stepping up in Michael Kors's range
The MK8576 sits within Michael Kors' Slim Runway line, presenting a 44mm stainless steel case with a gunmetal-grey finish and a fixed rose gold-tone bezel. At 10mm thick, it keeps a slim profile on the wrist. The sunray dial runs in the same gunmetal tone, with rose gold-tone baton indices and three matching hands giving the face a clean, two-tone contrast. The 22mm gunmetal link bracelet fastens with a push-button deployment buckle. Mineral crystal sits over the dial, and the watch carries a 50-metre water resistance rating.

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?
22mm. 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 unisex, and at this size it suits any wrist that takes the dimensions.
