Beautiful Watch. Wife loves it. iPhone limitations
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This review is from the perspective of an iPhone user and a first-time smartwatch wearer. My wife has been the primary user of this watch. She is an iPhone user and was looking for a smartwatch that would provide some basic functionality, such as displaying text messages, notifying her of phone calls, counting steps, etc. This watch does all this but with some limitations if you’re an iPhone user. If you are aware of these limitations going in, you’ll be happy with this watch because of its design and beauty. It’s important to note that the primary operating system on this watch is Google’s Wear OS. If you are an Android phone user running the latest Android operating system, this watch will support even more functionality. I’ll outline the differences in functionality between the two OS’s next. Otherwise, if you’re an iPhone user, Apple does not allow non-Apple hardware to support some of its native functions, such as using the watch as a phone, replying to messages on the watch itself, Siri integration, and Maps and directions support. What is does support is visual notifications and vibrations when a call is received on your iPhone. You can answer the phone call on the watch, but you’ll have to use the phone to carry-on the conversation. When a message comes in, either through iMessage or another messaging app like Facebook’s Messenger, you’ll also get a visual and vibration notification on the watch. The watch will allow you to read your message in full, but if you want to respond, you’ll need to use the phone to message back. To some, like my wife, this is preferred; she can respond faster typing on the phone. So she is not bothered by this limitation. Regarding the syncing of Calendars, this watch does natively connect with the Calendar app on her iPhone. She can view all her upcoming appointments and receive notifications on the watch. In fact, the top right physical button on the watch is dedicated to the basic Michael Kors app. Since she hardly uses that app, she was able to remap the button to open the Calendar app instead. The ability to remap the hardware buttons is a nice setting and option made available on this watch. Continuing with the watch’s functionality, a significant feature she was really looking forward to is the watch’s ability to count the number of steps she takes each day, along with the many other health features it offers. Overall, she is really satisfied with the watch’s performance in this area. She normally uses her iPhone to count her steps, but she can’t keep track of her steps while working out. She doesn’t wear her phone on her while using workout machines or during her kick boxing classes. Now, she wears this watch during her workouts and it keeps track of her steps in whole. She even did a comparison between her iPhone’s count and the Michael Kors watch’s count on total steps, and they were both consistently close to each other. I even asked her about its size. The watch face is 41mm, that’s about the largest size of a face you’ll find in a women’s watch, and there’s a little weight to it too, but she says it feels fine on her throughout the day and during her workouts. The online instruction manual does recommend sliding the watch up the wrist further when using it during a workout. She followed those instructions and it stays in place above her wrist while working out. She did note that she thinks the calorie count is a little off (a little too high), but it’s not a deal breaker for her because she keeps track of her calories in other ways. All these health features built into this watch is driven by the Google Fit app. So over time, little things like the calorie count can be improved with future software updates. Another functionality of this watch that she uses while working out, is its ability to control her music on her phone. While playing music from a playlist, she can skip songs from the watch’s interface without have to touch her phone. We did notice that this feature is sluggish when it’s first initiated on the watch, but after a minute or two of playing music, it became much more responsive. Keeping with the health theme, she was able to customize one of the included Michael Kors watch faces to display information she is most interested in seeing. For example, in one face, she removed the heartrate monitor and placed the step counter on the screen instead (see pic). In another face, she included the date, day of the week, and step counter on the display (see pic). Like I mentioned above, because this watch runs a Google OS, it can integrate better with Android phones. Some of the things it does when connected to an Android phone is being able to respond by voice and/or by typing on the watch itself when responding to messages, ask for and receive turn-by-turn directions through Google Maps from the watch face, and initiate phone calls from the watch itself. Please note that this model only includes a mic for taking commands, or for communicating with the built in Google Assistant. It does not include a speaker for producing sound or audio of any kind. Overall, my wife is happy with this watch. She doesn’t use all it’s features, but the ones she does use work effectively. Even though there are limitations between this watch and the iPhone, she is not bothered by them. She is quite happy with its functionality, and definitely happy with its look and design. She would recommend it to others if they are looking to use it in a similar way as her.

Stylish but with limited functionality on iOS
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I was first introduced to the world of smart watches, I was intrigued and impressed that all my communications could be managed from such a tiny device. It was like I was in an episode of Star Trek or some other Sci-Fi show. Being an Apple fan, I was of course drawn to the Apple Watch and at first, I thought some of the other smartwatches were really behind technology-wise. I feel like other systems like WearOS by Google have come a long way and when I was given the opportunity to check out this gorgeous smartwatch by Michael Kors, I didn’t let the fact that it wasn’t an Apple Watch keep me from using it. I actually got this watch for my grandmother. She is 85 years old and this summer, she got very sick with an infection. The infection cleared up thankfully, but she had a lot of extended care at home with physical and occupational therapy. They would check her vitals every time they came to visit and we began to think that it would be a good idea to have a smartwatch on her to monitor her heart rate and other activities more often then their visits. As it would happen, her simple wristwatch needed a battery. Since she was due for a new watch, we just replaced it with this beautiful smartwatch. The band of the watch is a standard link-based band. The watch does come with the clasp-style closure pre-installed but you can swap it out for a buckle-style closure, which is included in the box.. And the links can be removed, but a tool isn’t included. Since we did not have a link watch adjustment tool available, we visited a local jeweler and had several links removed from the band so that it would fit my grandmother’s wrist. This was a delicate balance because the watch features the heart rate sensor on the back of the watch face, which needs to have a solid connection to the wearer’s skin, but she likes her watches a little loose. We ended up finding a good balance between her comfort and what the watch needed for connectivity. One of the main things that the watch needs is a smart phone or tablet to connect to. My grandmother doesn’t have a smartphone, but she does use her iPad quite a bit. So, we connected the watch to the WearOS app for Apple devices. The app is not optimized for use on an iPad so the screen is. viewable in portrait mode only. The data does transfer over as it should but there is limited functionality between the WearOS and iOS systems. For example, you will get a notification of an incoming call (if you have the watch connected to a phone), but you can’t answer it on the watch. The call will be answered on the phone. Another limitation has to do with the Calendar. If you use Google Calendar, you won’t have any issues, but if you use Apple Calendar, the translation is a little funny. For my purposes — being able to track health stats on my grandmother — it works great. But if you are looking for a fully functional smartwatch, you might want to pair this one with an Android device rather than an Apple one. As far as style goes, this watch really steps up the game. It looks like a high-end wrist watch. The detail work is phenomenal and it really shines. I don’t think there is any other watch out there that can stand up to it as far as style goes. I can recommend this smartwatch based on its ease of use and style. I would, however, caution users about the limited functionality with iOS smartphones and tablets as that might be cause for a below-average user experience.

Exactly what I was expecting
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I researched this product for a while and was on the fence about purchasing it because of some reviews. I had been wearing a fit bit charge for 3 years and I missed having a “real” watch. I considered an Apple Watch, but it really didn’t matter to me if I could answer calls or respond to text messsges with my watch. I can still view incoming calls and text messsges from my iPhone on this watch and it’s so stylish compared to having a black square for a watch. Battery life is exactly what other reviews have stated. I get about 10 hours and that is with me keeping the display on all the time. The clock face will stay on a ghost look until you move your wrist so you can always see the time. The watch occasionally disconnects from my phone, but it hasn’t been a major issue. I’ve noticed this if I’m too far from my phone or change location with a different wi-fi. My phone is with me at work but I cant use it, so it’s nice that a quick glance at my watch let’s me know who is calling or texting me. I like to keep track of my steps and it seems pretty accurate. Set up was extremely easy and you really learn about the watch functionality by just playing around with it. I have owned it for three weeks, wear it everyday, and I am not disappointed with my purchase. I have also received many compliments on this watch.

Michael kors Access smartwatch
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the look,very easy-to-use and setup. Beautiful display.Loved the different watch faces. Able to make phone calls and find my phone after misplacing it. It's very nice that I don't have to worry about getting it wet. The reason I did not give it 5 stars Was the battery life it lasts maybe 15 to 20 hours at times very inconvenient.

Love the function; hate the battery
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The watch is beautiful, and I get a lot of compliance on the look of it. Functionality is great. Does everything I expected it to do. Like others, I'm disappointed in the battery life. I start wearing it around 7 am and it's below 10% by 10 pm.

Beautiful, bad battery
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a really pretty watch. Lucky for me, all I really needed was a watch to keep track of time at work. I took it as an invitation to finally buy a smartwatch, and this one had a good pricetag. The features are great once you actually find them by yourself since there's no real "startup guide", the one included just instructs you on syncing it with your phone. With casual use and doing barely more than checking the time and reading a few texts as they came in, this watch lasted me 9 hours. This works for me since I work 8-9 hour shifts at work, but it's a little irritating to buy a fancy name brand product that doesn't last all say. The box says it will hold a charge "up to 24 hours" and I'm tempted to test the theory by unplugging it and not touching it at all to see how long it would last. My only true gripe with this watch is that when I turn my wrist toward me to look at the time the watch only lights up for about 2 seconds. There doesn't seem to be a way to alter this besides turning on "always on display" which I definitely don't want to do given the battery life. 4-6 seconds would be ideal, I'm getting anxiety checking the time. Would I recommend this watch? Yes, with limitations.

Beautiful & Functional
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This purchase was my introduction to smart watches, so I cannot speak to how this watch stacks up against other smart watches. I am an Android user, so the compatibility with my phone was no issue. It took me about 4 months to become familiar with this watch's features. The battery life started weak and needed freshest recharging, but with trial and error, I learned how to maximize features that get me through at least a full day, and sometimes 1.5 day. I learned that metal bracelets on smart watches are not so common, so that is one thing I love about this watch, and something I'm frequently complimented on.
