Michael Kors has restored our faith in tech-meets-fashion with this luxe smartwatch

Promotional feature with Michael Kors Calling all Kors fans, this smartwatch is everything you could ever want…

We can't move for stylish designer jewellery this season but if, like us, you have been willing the fashion gods to deliver the ultimate smartwatch – the wait is officially over.

Enter the new Michael Kors Access Runway smartwatch – part watch, part fitness tracker, it's a high-tech timepiece that'll help keep your life and fitness in check and your style on point.

Curious to know more? Here's why it's taking the fashion world by storm and what it's able to do…

1. Make everyday life less complicated…

Seriously chic, this latest piece of arm candy has a voice control feature that lets you text, set reminders, check the weather, and ask for directions, you'll never have to tackle your busy day solo.

It works with iPhone and Android phones and runs Wear OS, which means you can hit the shops while you're out and about and pay for it with your smartwatch via Google Pay. Now we're listening…

2. Follow your fitness…

As well as being super comfortable to wear, the latest Kors addition to drop has an optical heart-rate monitor, which allows you to track your heart rate across multiple workouts types through Google Fit.

There's built-in GPS, too, so you can go for a walk or run without your phone and the Michael Kors Access Runway smartwatch will record your route and distance.

Using Google Fit on your smartphone you can track your 'Move Minutes' for any physical activity you do, from walking to yoga, while 'Heart Points' are scored when you do activities at a higher intensity – the higher the intensity, the more points you get. Believe us, after about a week of wearing this sophisticated smartwatch, you'll be hooked on reaching your daily fitness goals.

3. Play music (or podcasts) anytime, anywhere!

Streaming music and downloading podcasts to listen to via smartwatches is fast becoming the norm and we have to admit, the thought of only having to take the Micheal Kors Access Runway smartwatch and some (wireless) Bluetooth headphones is dreamy – heck, it may even make us run a bit faster!

Battery life depends on how you use the watch but the Michael Kors Access Runway smartwatch charges up in just one hour and lasts up to 24, which means no more running (or commuting) in silence because you've run out of juice. Amazing, huh?

4. Keep your style on point for any scenario…

Like jewellery, a watch is a very personal choice – some like a classic look while others prefer a standout piece. With countless, easy ways to personalise your smartwatch, Michael Kors has made it easy to give its latest smartwatch your own signature style, whether that's a colourful watch face or a statement rose gold-tone strap.

Once you've decided what best suits you, you can also get your name or initials to be embossed on the leather strap. Another tick from us.
