Best smart watch. I read the reviews before I bought it and a lot of people said the battery died quickly, I bought the watch anyways . I noticed it died pretty fast, but in learning how to navigate the watch and app I figured out I don’t need the face to light up every time your moves to look at it, I turned that off and the battery lasted all day with 40 percent left at the end of the day. I love all the face of the watch options . I can change it to more elegant when I’m going out for the night, and a sporty one for everyday . So many options!!! I love it. Highly recommend!!! It took me a couple days of playing around with it to figure it all out but then again I’m NOT a techy person and I figured it out . Buy it, you won’t be disappointed
Best gift I've purchased in a while. It's MK what's not to love lol. But seriously 8t is a great easy to use watch that is classy and simple in resin but a gorgeous timepiece.
Works great. I just literally love everything about it. Not a single thing bad to say. It's everything I wanted im a smart watch
Get the warranty. I loved this watch minor glitches lasted 2 year's than just kept resetting should've got a 2 year protection warranty because I would've been able to return and get a new one I'll probably buy it again maybe upgrade but definitely was nice.
Battery does not last a day. I returned this watch couple weeks ago and have not yet received my refund. The watch looks nice but doesn't stay charged with all apps off even.
Amazing. The watch is wonderful and beautiful!
Watch died and is not charging. I bought this watch in 2023 and it has been working perfectly until it died and is not charging
Gift for my Mom. She loves it! Simple enough for her to navigate herself!!
Me encantan las funciones, súper útil. Puedes nadar con él, mojarlo o sumergirlo.Las carátulas intercambiables en la app están súper lindas.
No contaba con el cargador.
The media could not be loaded. El paquete vino totalmente sellado, con los manuales, el cargador, me llegó antes de tiempo. Me gusta mucho el material, la correa es tipo silicón, no se siente pesado, está cómodo, y tiene varias interacciones con el celular.
El reloj es muy bonito pero la pila no le dura ni 10 Hrs.
Fue un regalo para mí bespoda y la verdad le gustó mucho!

Oh no. Beautiful, stylish, elegant, a lil difficult to learn to use lol and can't get it to do everything I want but, I love my michael kors watch. I had the access #2 years ago then moved to Samsung smartwatches which I loved but missed the elegant look of the michael kors watch.UPDATE: I've been noticing when I press to see the time it is slow to light up. When I lift my hand it won't turn on by itself though I set it to do so. I put it to charge an hour ago and just now I put it on and noticed the watch was hot like it got hot while charging. And when I press the button it won't turn on so I press it several times to get it on I try to swipe to go to other things so I can turn it off then back on and it won't swipe at all! This is worrisome cause this watch is not cheap! If I can't get it to work I'll have to return it! Smh
So flossy. Omg I LOVE this watch!!! I’m so obsessed with how cute and expensive it looks!! I get compliments ALL the time whenever I wear it. I saw it came in silver too and I will definitely be buying it!!! Highly recommend
Great watch. I love this watch. I like that I was sent two bands. I can wear it for any occasion.
Mejor de lo q pense. Me gusto mucho me encanto lo volvere a comprar en otro color 10 de 10
It's a Fossil watch with a MK logo. The design isn't bad but it's not a MK watch, it's a Fossil watch with an MK logo on it, so now you know you're getting a piece of crap with a worthless battery. I mean you slip it on at 6am and taking it off by 2pm. I one time bought a Fossil watch and gave it away within a week.Difficult to set up so here are some tips...-Don't take it off the charger until you're completely done with the setup - NOT EVEN FOR A SECOND! Otherwise you'll be starting over.- If you have other watches near by turn them off. Otherwise you're phone will be forever trying to connect with it like a jealous girlfriend.- Cheap watch with a high price tag.- Very heavy, like a pet rock.- It reminds me of those bling watches you buy at a cheap gas station or the Dollar Tree.- Battery life is dismal at best. You'll be charging your battery before the day is over.- Just throw it away and buy a proper watch.- I kind of makes be wonder how bad those MK handbags are that I keep buying for my girl.- They stated battery life is 24+ hours but that is a bold faced lie! You get half a day at best! I hope none of y'all need this watch for business!- The Customer service advice is always the same, uninstall and reinstall ALL the software. Imagine having to do that every Saturday! Worthless gas station quality watch. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Nice Watch. Beautiful watch, battery life isn't so great.
Perfection. Love everything except how hard the gold band is to switch to!
Super buenísimo reloj inteligente. Cuando mo escucho mi teléfono siempre tengo el reloj para avisarme y además puedo responder las llamadas y mensajes
Me gustó todo, así que a disfruta mi compra
Me encantó, muy practico y fácil de utilizar. Elegante y sofisticado.
Muy lindo. Pero no funciona con Apple no llegan mensajes, no se puede descargar aplicaciones de facebook, etc. Difícil para conectarse a algunas redes de wifi, lo cual no entiendo.! Me encanto pero para lo que me urge no se sirve. así que lo devolveré.
Súper bonito, se conecta fácilmente por la aplicación y tiene buen rendimiento la pila
I get compliments all of the time. It lasts a full day on a charge if I don't use it for calls. Only complaint is that the side dial is made from a different material and makes my hand break out, so I have to wear it above my wrist bone which is a little annoying. But otherwise I absolutely love it!

Bueno bonito y no tan caro. Es fino elegante muy útil y con excelente conectividad vale la pena el gasto
Ok. Love this watch, battery dies fast And it freezes from time to time and I've had it for 2 weeks only 🙁
Excellent. Me agrada mucho es perfecto para lo que nesesitaba🤗🤗
Perfect. It was a gift
Beautiful Watch but NO Interchangeable Band. This is a lovely watch but I was looking for something with interchangeable bands, which this is not.
Cheap band-heavy cheap face. Immediate upon pulling this out of the box I didn’t like it. The band feels very cheap and the face is really heavy, too heavy for the band. I currently own an MK watch, nearly identical, that I’ve had for years and I love it, but wanted to go digital. It’s noticeably thicker and I feel would get banged on stuff easier. It’s a no from me.
Love!! Gorgeous, it does everything. Excellent for Android. I absolutely love this watch! I love the look of this watch, it is so beautiful. For an Android user I really love the functionality of this watch. It’s very close to being just as good as my Samsung Galaxy Watch, I have found ways to tweak it to get it to work almost perfectly for me. It does everything!!! I would personally never buy a watch unless it can make and answer phone calls (which this does, it has a mic/speaker) and be able to text – this has it all. I love the screen and the watch faces and the always-on faces. With the always-on screen you don’t have to worry about tilting your wrist and hoping your screen comes on when you need a peek at the time. You can do so much customization to their watch faces. You can have animated faces and do a whole bunch of stuff. Very cool!The screen looks great, very crisp and clear. It’s the same size face as my Galaxy Watch face. This does not have a bezel, just one button on the side. You navigate by sliding from top, bottom and side to side. You can get quite a few different apps for this watch. Texting is really easy, the keyboard is very smart even if you press the wrong buttons, it understands what you’re trying to say. Phone calls are clear and you can be heard well. It vibrates as well as notifying for texts and calls. The only thing I haven’t been able to get it to do is also alert for my alarms that are on my phone as they go off, I used to like snoozing my phone alarms from my watch. Now, I just have to set alarms on both the watch and my phone. It does everything else my Samsung does and looks ten times better.I can get the battery to last 24 hours with normal use and the always-on clock screen is on. I don’t have the sound on, just vibrate. The screen brightness low. You do need tools to size this watch, luckily I had what I needed from a previous band purchase.I honestly get compliments every day and I have already recommended this watch to some friends and I am very proud of it and incredibly pleased with it. You will not be disappointed! I recommend.
Beautiful smartwatch! I love that I can send and receive calls directly on it, too. Works great. This Michael Kors Women's Gen 5E Smartwatch has impressed me, thus far. I've been trying to find something that would be more compatible with my iPhone outside of an Apple Watch, and I think this may be my answer. Once you download the app on your phone, you can quickly sync what you need and get your phone linked to the watch. I did not experience any issues or glitches during setup. This already has a microphone, so you can make as well as receive calls - in addition to normal notifications. Many other smartwatches I've tried out in this pricing range would merely notify me when calls were coming in (and then I'd have to go get my phone to take the call), but I can actually answer the calls directly on the watch itself with this.Getting this set up wasn't difficult, but be prepared to spend some time fiddling around with it to get it to your liking. I love the fitness aspects on this, as it has all the basics I need to keep me on track (and monitor my heart rate, etc.). There's a tutorial that sort of walks you through and shows you what to press and where to look for things, which was really helpful for me. When in doubt, you can tap the crown on the side and you'll enter into a main menu of sorts. I'm still getting used to it, but it's far more intuitive than I was expecting, so I'm fairly pleased with it.As far as aesthetics go, this is definitely the prettiest smartwatch I've owned. I received mine in rose gold, and I love that it has a more classic round watch face shape with rhinestones around it to give it some sparkly bling. That said, it's not overdone or gaudy, and looks very classy and tasteful. It looks very beautiful in a wide range of settings - whether that be casual or professional - and really coordinates well with just about anything I wear on a daily basis. I truly love that I can dress up or down and it never looks out of place - yet it's very lovely just to look at and enjoy!I did not know this when I ordered it, but this is actually swim-proof! How cool is that? I was actually wearing it and being all paranoid about any little splash that might get on it until I went through the manual a little more thoroughly and realized I needn't worry so much (although I am still careful with it, obviously). I have not swam in it yet (it's still winter, after all) but I have gotten it wet, and it has not affected the functionality of it whatsoever. I have also worn it while working out and sweated on it without any issues, also - so this is truly a great performance watch in addition to looking pretty.While they claim to get 24 hours/multi-day of continuous usage from the battery, I would say that would be with minimal use of the actual watch. Like most other ones I've owned, I generally recharge it at night when I go to bed - although there is still a reasonable amount leftover before I do so. With as much as I use mine, which is a pretty moderate amount, I definitely wouldn't come close to that 24 hour/multi-day mark, but YMMV from person to person on that. It is still better than many other full smartwatches out there in this price range, however, so I'm pretty satisfied with it all the same.They include a magnetic charger, and charging is fairly quick and easy. I really like that you can change the face of the watch and customize it up easily to your liking (there is a pretty big range of "faces" you can choose from, too!). The 42 mm screen face is also clear and easy to see for me (I wear contacts during the day and glasses at night, so I don't have the greatest eyesight out there).If I had a complaint with this at all, it would be that the speaker on it is rather mediocre in terms of "loudness" which can be a good or bad thing, depending on what you prefer. It's loud enough to hear quite well in quieter environments, although if you are in a spot where a lot of stuff is going on around you, you may have some issues. That said, holding it closer to your ear certainly helps in most circumstances, and it's fairly clear and not distorted during use. People are able to hear me clearly and I am able to hear them clearly, so all is well with that part. Just note that you're not going to be able to get it as loud as your regular cell phone.Overall? This is really the full package for me. It's beautiful, the speaker works, you can make and receive calls (important for an iPhone owner, since many smartwatches advertise as being "compatible" with them but then you can't do much on them even if they technically "work"), it has good fitness options on it (and tracking), there's tons of things you can do with it in terms of preferences, the battery life is decent, it's fairly easy to use, the touchscreen is nice and responsive, and you can even swim while wearing it! I'm very happy to finally find a smartwatch that was compatible enough with my iPhone to check most of my "wish list" boxes, and the fact that it looks prettier than most other smartwatches out there is simply icing on the cake. It gets two thumbs up from me!

Checks all the boxes. So beautiful. I've been shopping around for for a good quality smart watch within my price range for quite awhile. I sumbbled upon this watch and the 'unbasis' reviews were fair at best. The biggest complaint that I read was the battery life. Mine last about 24hrs or so on full charge. It's about the same as my cell phone. So I just found that charging it at night does me fine. The touch screen was the next most common complaint. However I haven't had any issues with screen sensitivity. I do have a galaxy phone and I do thing that this particular watch works best with androids. Also I dont have excessive amount of apps nor do I use the HR feature all the time. I have it set to check it only when I ask which I believe saves a lot of battery life. The only down fall is the one I got doesn't have internal speaker so you can answer calls. However some of these MK models do, just not the know I chose. Overall I love this watch a I would recommend it.
Beautiful. I love my watch but still working out how to use it. The battery life is confusing. Some days it lasts for a couple of hours then other times for days. Must be user fail lol. Looks beautiful though.
Good. I love this watch! I was kind of ify at first from some of the reviews but realized most of them were from iPhone users its compatible with an iPhone however! You have realize android OS/Google and Apple IOS are two different operating systems. I don't recommend for an iphone! However for my phone andorid i love it works great, looks great! The screen is a bit slow but that's not a problem for me!
Band falling apart/ crystals falling off. The band of my watch started cracking and the crystals started falling off within the cracks ..only a few months after wearing it . Now the band is completely falling apart 🙁 I need to have it replaced
It’s bad. Only worked one year! Now my watch is not connecting to my phone any more!!So is very expensive and stopped working after 1 year , so i got another watch that is cheaper and is easier to use it!
Delivered me a Dud. Beautiful when it arrived in its packaging, but it refuses to turn on or charge. It’s my Christmas gift and it never worked. I’m extremely disappointed and now have to go through the process of returning it...smh*update. A working replacement arrived! Rating has been updated
#best Mother's day gift ever. I was skeptical due to some of the reviews but I agree with the other fans, esp for the price, I love this watch! I'm late to the smartwatch game...hesitant to get yet another gadget to charge and become addicted to but I love this watch! I was looking at the Galaxy watch thru my cell carrier. I didnt want necessarily another line, I dont own my own business or anything, nor am I a doctor. My cell is suffice for that. Nor dobI intend to have convos via my wrist in the grocery store so from $400 down to $165, for pretty much minus the internal speaker and ability to make calls (it does make calls but sends action to your handset), I was sold! Its stylish and I love all the faces and oops to change bands! I think like 5 girls from my job are getting one soon!
Super amazing buy it. I bought this for my bf he LOVES IT sooo easy to set up so many diff things u can use on it and it translates for you u can choose the screen you want omg it's like a mini phone but better the battery lasts a long time the app is great it's a win win
The watch is as advertised. Looks good, the screen is nice and bright. Connects to iphone through the google app.
Me gusto mucho el producto, había dudado de comprar esta marca en línea porq en otros modelos tenía malos reviews pero en este modelo la verdad todo perfecto, puedes personalizar la vista de acuerdo a tus gustos o features que necesites, la batería dura lo necesario y se consume dependiendo del uso o la configuración que elijas, la carga es muy rápida. El diseño es hermoso y es muy cómodo. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
Spedizione velocissima! Arrivato 5 giorni prima! Bellissimo!Come da descrizione!Super soddisfatta!

User reviews
LOVE! Better than expected. I have to say I was a little worried about buying this watch because of the bad reviews but I'm so glad I bought it anyways to try it for myself. I've had the watch for a couple of weeks now and have used it every day from 8 am to 9 PM withouth any issues. I absolutely love the two tone dial as it goes with so many different outfits. The silicone strap is also nice and soft and great for everyday wear. I get a solid 12 hours of battery life with normal use (notifications, occasional time check, 1 workout a day). The notifications are awesome and it definitely makes it easier to not be so attached to my phone which I love! We went downtown for the weekend and I was able to keep my phone in my purse, instead of pocket, the whole time. Functionally, it does everything it says it can. It may not be the best for heavy workouts because it is on the bigger side. But I go on daily walks/runs and have had no issues. Overall I absolutely love this watch! It does everything I need and want it to do, all while looking great!
Great buy. I have only had the watch for 5 days but I love it so far. I love the fact that I can customize almost everything. The battery lasts about 26 hrs but it charges quickly.I have a tiny wrist so it is big but I can see it better!It's much heavier than the Apple watch too. But it looks beautiful!
Buying from Michael Kohrs is a mistake. I am bitterly disappointed in ths purchase. I bought this watch a a christmas present for my wife. She was thrilled, only 5 months later the back comes off. An obvious defect in the watches manufacture. In fact when we look on line it seems that this is a rampant defect in the watch. Then comes the fun. I try and return the watch for repairs. I have to go through several very tedious steps to find where to send the watch and get the appropriate paper work. I then have to pay $38 to send the watch back to a repair location in Canada. Then two months later my watch is returned to me because the repair facility refused delivery because the Canadian government placed a $40 customs fee that had to be paid upon delivery. So the watch was then returned to me. So know I am out the $200 I spent on a Christmas present, my wife is out a watch, and I am out an additional $38.00 to try and get something fixed. This is outrages and will have me re-considering buying anything from Michael Kohrs in the future.
I'm in love. This is an amazing smart watch. The batter CAN run out fast depending on your settings. I've had my watch die in the middle of the work day, so I went in and changed some of the settings and now the watch will last me 2-3 work days.
Text messages, heart rate an steps in this order Not much. An Battery life. Beautiful watch had problems receiving my my text messages on time. 2 or 3 minutes late. It was easy to set up just a bit slow with messages. Battery life terrible all I do do is where it talk/ text on phone nothing Big gets very hot when charging last maybe 10 hours just wearing it.
Works and looks great. Works and looks great my gf loves it... Basically the watch it's is MK branded but I'm fairly sure it's made by fossil as smart function are the exact the same... Aside from this it works great with wear os and provides all necessary phone functions on the watch
Birthday gift. Bought this for my wife's birthday as she has been using smart watches for a while now. This watch looks perfectly sleek and wouldn't scream smartwatch to people checking it out. She's gotten lots of compliments on it, and it's her go to for casual dress wear at work.
No instructions, trash battery life. So basically this watch comes with two 50 page booklets. Each booklet is 2 pages of English and then the other 48 pages is those same 2 pages in 21 other languages. That is not a joke. One book is warranty, and one book is "instructions" that say, plug it in and look up how to use it online. Oh and the link they show no longer works.After two days of updates the watch finally started working, for the two hours it would stay charged. We had to go into the setting on the watch and in the phone app and turn off nearly every single thing to get the battery life up.I really don't see much point in "smart" watches but my wife wanted this so...I consider this a LCD watch for time keeping with ability for you to answer phone calls if you are on the crapper and you left your phone out on the table.I see a lot of reviews about the back breaking, I guess we will have to see.This pretty much feels like a waste of money.
J'adore !!! Merci à mon mari pour ce joli cadeau.
very nice watch
I brought this for my wife in Dec and in March the back fell off. Brilliant up until then but can't get hold of anyone to discuss the warranty on it.
Me gusta el diseño y la marca
Eine sehr schöne Uhr macht was sie soll

Smartwatch. I bought this watch as a gift for my mother for her birthday, she liked it very much, it was very beautiful.
Good quality and stylish - win win. Works greatPairs wellAnswers calls wellText on deviceLooks greatNo issues !!
It's a ladies watch and it looks great. I love it . I wish it had fall detection.
Didn't even turn on, wouldn't charge. Beautiful watch, but it wouldn't charge or turn on, I even bought a new charger, was supposed to get a replacement watch but that keeps getting delayed, tried to get another replacement but was turned down. This whole experience has been awful
Looks great, semi-functional. I do like the watch and it’s look but I thought you could receive text messages and you cannot. It notify you of phone calls though
Women's MK Techy watch. My wife is very pleased.
Beautiful watch, but band fell apart after 2nd use. The watch is lovely - even nicer than I had hoped. The one time I wore it, it worked well and did everything advertised (reason for the 3 stars). Unfortunately after the 2nd wearing two pins fell out of the band and one was lost. Only then did I read the reviews (shame on me) and can see that it's a repeat problem and one that requires I send the watch away for repair. I bought a repair kit, hoping to fix it myself, but wasn't able. Just a very expensive lesson about reading reviews.
Great. I bought this for my wife’s birthday. She loves it. One of the best gifts I have given.
This is my second MK smart watch (different styles). Love them ☆☆☆☆☆
Battery life is disgusting as it gets drained within minutes and watch get heated.Not satisfied with this product
Buen reloj, lo único es que la batería le dura muy poco tiempo y los perlos, se le cayó en la segunda puesta y hasta el momento no lo consigo
Es un reloj muy elegante y funcional, las caratulas son muy variadas y constantemente se están actualizando. Excelente compra.

User reviews
Very happy. I am very happy with this purchase! I was super duper nervous after reading all of the bad reviews about the battery life. When I first got the watch I did not have the settings where they needed to be and my battery went dead super FAST. However, after going into settings and changing things around my battery life is now great. I still have 60 to 70% of the end of every night. I get a ton of compliments on the watch, as well. I wear it in the pool all the time and I've had a zero issues. Now, in all fairness, I am not somebody who does a ton of crap with my watch. If you are, your battery may go dead quicker. I really just use it for the pedometer and to alert me when I get texts, notifications or phone calls.
Una excelente compra. Facil de programar
Super convenient. I absolutely love the convenience of being able to see call/text alerts, and many others for apps of my choosing. You can customize face watch by design and change colors, customize appearance of sleep mode, tilt to wake, smart voice text.. the options are endless. Basically it's like having a phone on the watch but without having to schlep your phone right next to you all the time. I am rough on things and have banged this or ran into things and the gems on the face have not popped out, very sturdy. My only wish is that the battery lastest a little longer but overall very happy!
Great. Great
Worst watch ever. I bought this because I wanted a smartwatch. And I really MK products. But it was the worst watch I ever bought. It doesn’t hold a charge longer than 5 hours. Half way through my work day it no longer works
Muy buen reloj ⌚️ 👌 👍 😉. Es muy útil
Great watch and a good price. Very nice watch for the money easy to set up, very good quality and my wife loves it.
Not a good buy. Watch consistently disconnects from phone and have to reset/reconnect. Does not receive texts and calls.
buen producto
Me encantó, es muy bonito visualmente. Lo tengo en blanco y negro. Los dos son mis favoritos. Lo recomiendo muchísimo.
Es un poco más pequeño de lo que aparenta y la correa es de silicona aunque pareciera que es de piel, pero toda la funcionalidad es perfecta. Otro detalle es que no tiene microfono y no puede contestar llamadas pero todo lo demás funciona perfectamente.
Muy bonito y todo pero el cargador no sirve, tuve que comprar uno nuevo el cual Carisimo por cierto.Una hojacolor amarillo que es la hoja de la garantía venía fuera del paquete donde estaba el reloj. Cómo si ubieran abierto el paquete. Y se les olvidó ponerla de regreso y solo la pusieron así nadmas.También dijeron que lo entregaría. El día 13 de abril antes de las 8:00pm y lo entregaron hasta el día 14 a las 4:00pm
Esta bonito el reloj
