Michael Kors earlier this year teased a lineup of Android Wear-based smartwatches, but we’ve been left in the dark since then. Now, the company is offering some actual availability details for its new Access smartwatches.
Michael Kors’ Access smartwatches comes in two styles. The “Dylan” take on a sporty look and is geared towards men while the “Bradshaw” is geared towards women with its metal design.
It’s worth noting that these aren’t “slim” smartwatches by any means. If you’re looking for something with a slim profile, Kors’ Access smartwatches are large and chunky. That’s not to say they don’t look nice. Both the Dylan and Bradshaw look well designed and detailed, they just don’t have a slim profile.
As far as functionality goes, it’s just like any other Android Wear smartwatch. The only difference is the bevy of customization options. There’s a ton of Michael Kors-themed watch faces available, but you can also customize many of the elements on the watch face. Kors says that there’s hundreds of possible combinations.
Under the hood is a Snapdragon 2100 processor, speaker and a 320 x 290 display. Both the Dylan and Bradshaw have an activity tracker, but no heart rate monitor.
Michael Kors’ Access smartwatches start out at $350, but go as high as $395 for different styles of the smartwatch.
The Access smartwatches go on sale today in the US and UK. You’ll be able to buy them in 16 other countries, too.
