Review:

I first saw it online while randomly browsing. It was so beautiful, I instantly fell for it. It is a pricey watch, so I decided to save some ka-ching and bought it for my birthday. I bought it on Amazon.


Amazon's prompt delivery always amazes me. When the watch arrived finally, it came in the standard Michael Kors sturdy black leather box package with a fluffy brown cushion for the watch. The watch is genuine - which you can make out by the Michael Kors engraving on the back. My first impressions were that it looked more shinier than in the pictures! Also, the bezel seemed bigger than it appeared in the pictures.

It is definitely BIG on my thin wrist. I had to have the band length re-sized to fit me, and I removed 3 of the links. This watch is a heavy one (nearly 500 g) and it does feel heavy on the wrist initially till you get used to it :P 

The watch is super glitzy and glamorous, the crystals razzle and dazzle especially under ceiling lights like in the  shopping malls, party halls, etc. All that dazzle is fine for parties or as a statement piece to dress up a casual outfit it is the perfect accessory. It is so eye catching and statement making that it may be inappropriate for office wear. The Rose Gold looks fantastic on any skin tone, especially complementing dusky skin tones. I always receive compliments for it. 

It's been a year since I purchased it, and I am happy that the color hasn't worn off, the plating has not chipped anywhere, no scratches on the dial despite having accidentally dropped it a couple of times and storing it in my makeup box along with other makeup jars, tubes, and jewelry - none of them caused any abrasions on the watch, and the crystals set in the watch are still as shiny as they initially were. Overall, I am happy to the T with the watch.

Disclaimer: The above review is 100% honest and my own opinion on it. I purchased the watch on Amazon with my own money.
